Today in maths I worked out 55x250. I worked the problem out like this. First I did 50x200=10,000 then I did 50x50=2,500 them I did 5x50=250 and them I added them all up and I got 13,750
This week I have learned to do problems like this. If Mrs A started with a whole basket of chocolates. She eats 5/8 of them. That left 21 chocolates for her friends to eat. How many chocolates were there to start with.
You can see the way I worked this question out in the picture above.
This week we have had Adrian from Tauranga city council she taught us about how we should be looking after our water because 97% of our water is too salty to drink so we can only drink 3% of our water but 2% is too deep in the ground so we can only drink 1% of our water. We all talked about ways we can look after our 1%. This week we have started our speech ideas witch is going well. We are also doing toku ako and we are doing that on the Olympics.
