Water Used To Develop Electricity

All About Water

Syndicate Assembly

This week's syndicate assembly was hosted by Room 12. It was meant to be hosted by Room Nine, but unfortunately their teacher had to was sick, so since Room 12 (us year eights) are the eldest we had to cover for them.

Miria, Sini, Simon, Don and myself (Elizabeth) volunteered to show our Visual Arts we had just finished recently. We had to say a little speech for each step we had done to finish our visual arts.

Our Visual Arts was based on Water. We chose a symbol and sketched it. We all believe that our pictures were a success.

Mathematics

Throughout Term 2 we have been learning five different strategies to help our learning and develop our knowledge about mathematics. These strategies help us and make it easier to figure out a mathematical question, problem or equation . We had to make our own word problems, name what strategy we used to get the calculation and also write down the correct calculation for the word problem we have created.

This is the word problem I have created....

In a giant bucket there was 698 litres of water then someone put in another 252 litres in. How many litres are there altogether?

And this is the strategy that I used to get my calculation...

Strategy 3:Increase one number and decrease the other by the same amount.

For example:

 254+746=

=294+6+706-6

=300+700

=1,000

Try figuring out my equation and see if you could work it out by using Strategy 3.
