Adding decimals

In this game I have to add the decimal and keep the point in the same line. When I was looking at the equation I was trying to work it out mentally. I have  made a little bit  progress with addition of decimals. I got all of my answer right and thought that it was really awesome. I think that I could try the subtraction next because I think that it is kind of tricky.

Integrating maths and topic

Walt: make sense of our learning.

Today I did constructing pyramids because it is part of our learning and we are studying about Egypt. Constructing pyramids is really cool because it’s hard and interesting like studying about Egypt. Once you study about it and make a pyramid for yourself it’s really catchy. When we did the pyramid it reminded me when we were researching about the seven wonders of Ancient World. We are doing this for a reason because from 2500 BC time they built the pyramid without using modern machinery.

Ratio blaster

Ratio blaster is a really hard game for me because I kept on getting mixed up with 2 to 6 and 3 to 8 because I forgot that you could change it into a fraction. When I play ratio blaster again I will know what to do and how to beat the time. But I think this is a really good game for me to catch on to.

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.
