GI Zoo Prices         Adult:              $14                                             Child under 12 : #

1. It cost the Naidoo family of 2 adults and 3 children $61 to go to the zoo. What is the missing price on the board?

14 + 14 = 28     61 - 28 = 33    33 ÷ 3 = $11

2. For 4 days of the week the zoo has a concession for schools. $10 each for the first 100 children and then $12 each for the others. What would a school pay if there are 127 children?

10 x 100 = 1000 so 12 x 27 = 324 so 1000+324 = $1324

3. On a Friday evening  the zoo has a special rate for  school children:for every paid 7 children 2 get to go in free.  What would it cost a school with  147 children?

147 ÷ 9 = 16 r 3  16 x 7 = 112  112 x 11 = 1232   1232 + 33 = $1265

In this game we had to do the Order Of Operations,

and that includes BODMAS. BODMAS stands for..

B - Brackets
O - Order
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

BODMAS is an Math strategy that can help you figure out some Math questions here is an example.

For me it was very confusing at first because I was new at it, I didn’t really know how I was supposed to use BODMAS but I tried anyway. At first my high score was 1.

I didn’t really mind at first but after I looked at everyone else’s screen they all had more than 1. That's when I really really wanted to try my best to get a better score. After my second try I finally got 3.

For me I think I did better than before because I’m not that good at BODMAS. Next time I’m going to learn more about it and hopefully get a way better score next time.

Speed Skills                                                      12 February 2016

Today during math time we went on a math site called “Speed Skills”.

Speed Skills is a website where we can learn our Addition, Subtraction, Mixed Multiplication and Division, Division and Remainder, and Order of Operations. There were also levels that you can click on. I clicked Level 4. When I first tried it was really hard, for me it still kinda is. But I hope I can get better at it soon.

Descriptive Writing: The Moon 25 November 2015

The Moon

One Quiet Night, I dreamt that I teleported back in time to 1969 to an incredible place called the moon. The Moon was a empty rugged deserted place, but yet it was beautiful and antoshing. It was very quiet and peaceful and it was very calm. As I started to explore, I saw two mysterious figures approaching me, but as they came closer I was shocked to see that it was Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong and his Astronaut partner Michael Collins were the first people ever to fly to the moon and come back to earth safely. I couldn't believe my eyes so I started to faint but when I woke up, I was back in 2015, then I realized that is was just all a dream. I was shocked to wake up in my room so suddenly, so I went back to sleep.
