Me and Alex's Loom Band Status

Firstly, me and my friend Alex think that loom bands should be banned because they distract people’s learning, and it’s a distracting equipment. Since we have had loom bands in our school, people have been fighting, arguing and people have been stood down for not playing fair.If it isn’t banned, they should let the people who play fair, play with them and ban those who do not play fair.

Exercise 8 What to do

Use the strategy add a little/subtract a little to solve these problems.

Julie wanted to find 3 × 28.

She knows that 28 is near 30, so she used 3 × 30 = 90 and subtracted 3 × 2 = 6 to get the answer.

Julie recorded this in her maths book

3 × 28 = 90 – 6 = 84

Using Julie’s method find the answer to the following problems. Record your working like Julie did.

1) 5 × 19

100 – 5 = 95

5x20=100-5=95

(2) 6 × 41

240 + 6 = 246

6x40=240+6=246

(3) 3 × 59

180 – 3 = 177

3x60=180-3=177

4) 4 × 52

200 + 8 = 208

4x50=200+8=208

(5) 3 × 73

210 + 9 = 219

3x70=210+9=219

(6) 8 × 37

320 – 24 = 296

8x40=320-24=296

7) 3 × 102

300 + 6 = 306

3x100=300+6=306

(8) 6 × 301

1000+6=1006

6x300=1800+6=1006

(9) 8 × 598

4800-16=4784

8x600=4800-16=4784

RESIZING IMAGES

STARSHIP VISIT

Yesterday my mom and I woke up and got ready and waited for the taxi to take us to Starship Hospital to do my Chemotherapy.

When we arrived at Starship we went and did my blood test. It was very painful but I was use to it. Then we went to Level 7(Oncology Ward) to wait for the doctor to give us some numbing cream and a plaster.When I was waiting for the doctor to call us I was thinking about Room 10 and how much fun they were having exploring the Rocky shore and Rocky Pools then the doctor yelled out “Malulu we are ready to see you”.Then they told me I am nearly finished in a few more months.

When the doctor finished inserting my chemo into my port we rang the taxi and waited outside.I was very glad it was over because I wanted to go home and rest.

LOOPY PEOPLE

Today Room 10 made loopy people.We learnt how to Measure body parts,Half the measurements and apply the half measurements.This picture shows a loopy version of me.The part I found hard was measuring my body then halving it but the bit I found easy was cutting and gluing it together.
