Prime Factor

Prime Factor

In this maths game it was really simple. It was really simple because all you need to do is find the multiples of the answer. Then you drag the hammer and put it over the number. The hard bit for me was finding all the multiples of the number. I think this is a really good game to play because if you play it you will catch on fast and you can be much better at Prime Factors.

Pyramid Solitaire

Walt: try and get to 13

In pyramids solitaire you have to make thirteen to try and get to the last number at the back of all the cards. This is a really hard game because sometimes you can’t get the numbers you want. If you play this game it would be really confusing because you have to match a queen with a ace. Pyramid solitaire is a cool game to play it would help your mind and keep it focus like I did. Give this game a go and you could see if you like this game is challenging for you.

The Written Word

Walt: look for information.

Ancient Egyptians. The written word.

Hieroglyphics

1. Hieroglyphics is a greek word and it means sacred carving.
2. Hieroglyphics is used for every object and it also helps them with their mathematical  problems.
3. Hieroglyphics is represented to a fertility god and they wrote from top to bottom. They also drawn the bird in hieroglyphics facing the beginning of the story.
4. The Egyptians used hieroglyphics more than seven hundred times.
5. Only one person out of all the Egyptians knew how to read in hieroglyphics.

Scribes

1. The Egyptians main tool was called a kalamos because it was made out of reed that was found near the nile river.
2. The scribes could only write in black and red but they also was writing when they were standing inside and talking to someone but when they were kneeling it was kind of hard.
3. The scribes worked together under the watchful eye of the chief scribe.

Papyrus

1. The Egyptians found out how to use paper by using a triangle shaped reed and put it into the water and left it to dry for a couple of days and then they wrote on it.
2. In Egyptian papyrus means property of the pharaoh.
3. Ancient greek use the papyrus and translated it into a english word that is pronounced paper.

The high bar

Walt: write a summary of the story.

One evening at the gym Hayley, her friends and her coach were training for the Junior National Championship. Every morning on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Hayley always goes to the gym at 5.30am. After the gym Hayley walks home with her mum. Telling her mum how much she hates the high bar and that the high bar is a ‘’demon’’. She hated the high bar since she was a little girl. Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Hayley would go and talk to the high bar in a very little voice so she doesn’t have to be scared. When hayley was talking to the high bar she didn’t feel scared at all so she swung around in circle. Afterwards she was so proud of herself that she did it on the high bar.

Netball

Walt: use our emotions to describe playing sports.

This week on Tuesday the G.I fantails played against St Mary's red I was really anxious to play because there were heaps of people watching our game. When we were getting ready to play I was so waiting until that beep went so that I could get off the court and watch but that never happened. I didn't like it because I keep on getting pulled up for contact from the empire. I was so happy because we won our first game for the school and our teacher was happy to. I hope that we could win all our games but we're not going to lose some games. When our next game we have I am going to be ready. We are going to do well.

Wylie the eagle

One day in Egypt, Wylie was flying around looking for something to eat. One moment later a sandstorm was coming in really fast so Wylie spotted a wooden pole, and he held on tightly with his claws.

When the sandstorm died down everything was covered with sand and Wylie could not see anything. Wylie went flew into the sky and started looking for something to eat. He flew across the sky a couple of times and he still didn't find anything.

Wylie saw a lizard running across the sand so Wylie swooped down and tried to catch it but it went in between the big rocks. Wylie tried really hard to get the lizard but it was too hard so Wylie got hungrier and hungrier. He thought of eating hippo,crocodile and lots of fish which made him extremely hungry.

Wylie flew right across the Nile River and pulled his wings in tight and put his claws in front of him and glided on the water and caught a lovely fish.

This is my name in hieroglyphics

Coordinates

The first thing I did to solve this problem is to find the x axis which is the horizontal line. Also the y axis is the vertical line. So if there is a red circle you have to say that it is -5 for x axis and -3 for y axis. This is challenging but I thank Alisi for explaining it to me by saying that I have to look at the x axis and then the y axis. What I would like to learn next in coordinates is to practice more on integers.

Three qustions

Walt: answer three questions

1. When is the best time to do things?

The best time for me to do things is when it is a good day and when my family is allowed to come with me to my house. When my family come with me to my house we do things in our spare time like playing outside, going to the beach and going to the park. But the best time is doing things that I’m not allowed to.

2. Who is the most important person?

The most important person to me is my step brother Jordan. The reason why he is the important one to me is because he cares and he always use to look after me when I was little and still when I use to beat him up. That is why he is the important person to me.

3. What is the right thing to do?

The right thing to do is to look after my baby sister. Looking after her is kind of hard because she never listens and always make a really big mess. Doing the right thing is good because when you do something right they do too.

Inequalities with Decimals

What I am learning is to find inequalities with decimals. The crocodiles mouth has to eat the biggest number. I don’t think this is really hard because it seems so easy. Learning inequalities of decimals is good because it helps me recap on what I had learn. I think that Mrs Ramklown should give us even harder work.
