Writing fractions in lowest terms

Walt: Write fractions in the lowest terms.

I know how to write fractions in their lowest terms because I know my timetables very well. My strategy to figuring out what's a the simplest form to 5/10 I would use my five times tables to figure out the answer because 5 divide by 5 equals one, so you put one in the numerator so 5 divide by 10 equals two.then you put your answer to that goes in the denominator so all that equals to ⅕. I thought it was challenging because I tried to beat my time but I didn’t. I only beat my score and my medals. You could make it more hard if you add tricky fractions in the game that what makes me think. Next I would like to improve my speed at forming the fractions lowest forms.

My inspirational person

Walt: use our research to write an essay on an inspiring person.

My inspirational person is Edmund Hillary. Edmund Hillary inspires me because he understands people and they understand him but he never showed off when  he became a celebrity.

I admired him because he is really modest. He  used his modest abilities but combined it with his determination to climb Mount Everest but he never wanted to change his mind. When he made it to the top he didn’t really brag about it but he was really proud that he never changed his mind. I am inspired by his determination.

Edmund Hillary also understands people. He has been helping the people since 1961 to make the first Sherpa school. The Himalayans Trust was born then. If it wasn't for Edmund Hillary the trust and the school would had never been built in the Khumjung Village. That is the reason the people in the Khumjung Village trust Edmund Hillary.

He also brought out the best in  his family and friends. Sir Edmund Hillary was one of the best “stay focused persons.” He never like to be off track. If he wanted to do something he won't stop and do something else he would keep going until that is done and then move on.

I picked Sir Edmund Hillary because he is like me I'm modest. But if I am inspired by something I am determined for that thing makes me want to get it. Also I understand people and they understand me.

Maths

Walt: reflection on my basic facts.

In stage 7 for basic facts I got 48% because I was struggling on fraction, decimals and percentages and I really didn’t know some of the maths question. Doing fraction, decimals and percentages are really challenging. They are challenging because when it shows the fraction and you have to turn it into a percentage. I thought that it will be puzzling on the other work on the stage 7 work but the only puzzling bit was the percentage and that. My next aim is to work hard on my percentage, fraction and decimals. Next time I will get them all right and I might get close to an 80% or a 90% so I will be so proud.

Basketball

Walt: write rap/poem

Dribble, Dribble down the court

here I go to get a score,

Make sure you don’t get hit

just make sure you get that swish,

bouncing and bouncing till you

there get the three pointer and we’re

nearly there, protect the ball don’t

let go you're going to give the ball

to the other team get the ball, and

shoot, Slam dunk the ball goes through

everyone’s happy run, run get

another one,

Jump stop don’t stop keep going it’s

34-4 were nearly there and that’s

the score, game times going down

it’s on 10 seconds, I have to get this in to

win if I don’t get it, it’s game over and I'm let down

I could do it nothing to it so shoot,

I get it in another three pointer the crowd

goes wild like the animals are at the zoo,

Practice time everyone comes

dribble through the legs it goes

and out the other side we go,

come on guys we can do it try your

best and do it, we could move to the

grove and we could do anything, so

move, move move

It’s all over we all go home

we won we won it’s the greatest day

ever cause we won we

did our bounces and our pass

it’s all better cause

we did it and we own it,

Fraction of a set

In this game I have to find the correct fraction for the square cookies. I found easy was that the square cookies because all you need to do is count all of the cookies and then count the square that’s what made it easy for me. I thought it was difficult when I started because I didn’t know what to do. Next I would like to learn is turning my fraction into a decimal.
