A Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt

Walt: to write in correct paragraphs.

I am a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. I am in charge of everyone and I have 100,000 slaves.

My vizier gives the instructions to my slaves because without me they wouldn't know what to do. Also without me they could not have been feed. I respect my people and they respect me that's why they picked me to become their ruler. I'm also important to my people because when I die I would become a god and watch over my people.

As a Pharaoh my right hand man is important to me. He is in charge of telling me what is going on all over Egypt. He is also a judge in the higher courts. If you had a problem you could take it to the vizier. It could be dangerous because he could sentence you to 2 to 3 years in jail.

Ancient Egypt report

Mary

Walt: write an information report.

Contribution to time

In Ancient Egypt there was a priest called Amenemopet. He was the priest that knew how to tell time. The priest is also called the hour-watcher because he tells the time during the day and the night. At night Amenemopet use a water clock. The water clock is a container that they fill up with water it also has marks in the inside. The water drips from a really small hole at the bottom of the container. The water will drop in one of the marks and then it will drop into another which means that one hour has past.

Mummification

When someone has died the people who does the mummies go and get the person and then take out all his organs except his heart. Next they put salt all over his body and dried it. After that they stuffed cloth inside his body to keep his shape. Then they put oil over his body and raped him with a lot of bandages to stop the body from rotting away. All of the process is supervised by the priest that wears the jackal on his head that signified Anubis. The Egyptians believed that the priest could send the dead bodys spirit into the next life. All the important people like the Pharaoh is placed in a stone coffin and ordinary people just get placed in a decorated box or a normal box.

Pyramids

Pyramids where built for the Pharaoh so when they die that could claim the pyramid and they could become a god. The pyramid was built by 100,000 slaves. Egyptians really believed in the Pharaoh that they will come back and visit them when they reach their afterlife destination

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.

Constructing Pyramid

Walt: write a procedure to construct a pyramid.

Need:

A3 paper

Ruler

Scissor

sellotape

Compos

Pencil

Method/Procedure:

Step 1

Get a A3 paper and sharp pencil and place does two things on your desk. Then you grab a compos, scissors and a ruler.

Step 2

Draw a square at 5 cm in the middle of our A3 paper.

Step 3

Grab your compass and place it on the tips of your square and make an arc on each side of the square.

Step 4

Place a dot in the middle of your arc with a pencil and then you use your ruler and make a line going diagonal.

Step 5

Cut it out and then put it together with sellotape and there you go that is your wonderful pyramid.

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.
