Fractions Finale

I want to add ½ with ¼. First I change ½ to  then I add

⅓ + ⅙. ⅓ =   2/6 + ⅙ = 3/6 or ½

¼ + ⅛.  ¼ = 2/8 + ⅛ = ⅜

How can I change ⅔ into sixths ( 4/6)?

How can I change ⅔ into twelfths ( 8/12)

⅓ + ¼ = 7/12

⅓ = 4/12   ¼ = 3/12

⅓ + ⅕ = 8/15

⅓ = 5/15  ⅕ = 3/15

⅙ + ⅛ = 14/48 or 7/24

⅙ = 8/48    ⅛ = 6/48

1/10 + 1/100 = 11/100`

1/10 + 1/1000 = 101/1000

⅓ + 1/7 = 10/21

¼ + ⅕ = 9/20

⅓ + ⅖ = 11/15

List 5 equivalent fractions for:

¼ = 2/8, 3/12, 4/16, 8/32, 5/20

⅓ = 2/6, 4/12, 3/9, 5/15, 6/18

⅕ = 2/10, 4/20, 3/15, 5/25, 6/30

⅙ = 2/12, 3/18, 4/24, 5/30, 6/36

How Do Planes Fly - Powtoon

I have created a video/slideshow based around How Planes Fly and the 4 forces that interact with a plane when it flies.

I used a website called, Powtoon where you can create projects using provided text, props, characters and others. This is the link to my powtoon - Powtoon - How Do Planes Fly?

Narrative

One beautiful sunny afternoon, a family of 5: Bree, Kai, Eve, Collin and Paige, decided that it would be a lovely day to go on a camping trip for the weekend. So… they did. At around 3:25pm they started packing all of their gear that they would need on a camping trip. They packed: Food, Water, Tents, Pillows, Sleeping Bags and everything else they needed for a camping trip. They even packed 4 kayaks. 3 single ones and 1 double.

So, at 4pm they set off to the Ahipara camping grounds. It took them around 5 hours to get
there. They arrived there at around 9:11pm. Once they got there, they all jumped out of the
van and set up all of their camping gear.  The put up their tent and Bree and Kai made a fire
with matches and timber they had found or broken off the trees. The Ahipara camping grounds
is a very beautiful place to go camping. There is a calm ocean down below the rocks and a soft
sandy beach and clean toilets and showers for campers.

The Next Day, they decided to go for a hike into the forest to see if they could find some
fruit or a river to go kayaking down. So, they got ready and went. About 30mins later they
had found some berry bushes and mango trees. Also, right beside the fruit bushes was a
lovely, calm river. It wasn’t rocky or dangerous, so that meant they could all kayak together.
Furthermore, they grabbed their kayaks and put them in the water. "Come on, Eve. Let's take
the double," said Bree staring around at her surroundings.

As Collin tries to get into his kayak, a harsh wave comes thrashing past him causing Collin to
float down the river towards a giant, upcoming waterfall. Which by the look of it was about 2,500
metres tall. If he fell down that river, it would a long and high drop. He wouldn't be going down
slowly either, Collin will drop down pretty fast.

As the ongoing wave was pushing him towards the waterfall, the rest of the family was running
aside him, trying to find a way to help and to stop the wave from pushing him too far and him
falling off the side of the waterfall. They ran as fast as they can, watching out for long sticks or
useful things that they could use. Finally, Kai ran past a huge, long stick that looked stable
enough to hold back the kayak and for Collin to hold onto while the harsh wave passes by. They
weren't worrying much about the kayak, they just wanted Collin safe, out of the unpredictable
river and back on land. One by one, they grabbed the stick, holding really tight, pulling with all
their might to rescue Collin. Collin also grabbed onto the stick and pulled himself to safety.

Happily, he made it back to land but landed face first onto the grass. He may have a few bruises
from all the rocks and sticks that surrounded him, but at least he's alive. Unlike the kayak, it got
pushed down the waterfall, which caused it to break into pieces when it landed on the sharp,
dangerous rocks that were at the bottom of the waterfall.

Thank god, they are all safe and are able to return home happy and knowing that they are still
able to be together as one, combined family. Sure, Collin might have gotten hurt, but what an
experience. Hopefully he heals fast enough to have fun again with his family. Not at this place
though. This trip has warned them about this place and they have decided (as a family) never to
go there again!

Description of Task:

We had to create a narrative about anything we wanted to. This helps us to learn how to use speech marks and adverbs.

Fresh Fractions Presentation

This is the Fresh Fractions Presentation/Task. This was my work for Week 3.

Equivalent Fractions Presentation

This is my presentation/task for Equivalent Fractions which was my work for Week 4.

Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent Fractions!

We are learning to add and subtract fractions with like
and unlike denominators.

What is ½ of ¼? 1/8

What is ⅓ of ⅕? 1/15

What is ½ of 20? 10

What is ⅕ of 20? 4

What is ⅓ of 30? 10

What is ⅘ of 20? 16

½ + ½ = 1

5/12 + 4/12 = 9/12

½ + ¼ = 3/4

⅓ + ⅙ = 1/2

¼ + ⅛ = 1/2

¼ + ⅝ = 7/8

¼ + 3/16 = 7/16

⅕ + 1/30 = 7/30

Levi has ¾ of a bag of lollies. If he is given another 3/12 of a bag,
what fraction of a bag will he have? 1 Whole

If there were 32 lollies in the whole bag, how many lollies does Levi have?

All of them (32 lollies)

Bob has a 3 3/4 metre of length of wood. He cuts off 2 1/3 metres.

What length of wood is left?

3 ¾ - 2 = 1 ¾

1 ¾  - ⅓ = 1 5/12

Adverb Challenge

\1 - Adverb Challenge: In pairs come up with as many adverbs as you can without using google.

perfectly	loudly	Next year	terribly	ferociously	Wherever
fast	high	Next century	horribly	disgustingly	Whenever
slowly	typically	after	remarkably	Madly	Hardly
physically	yesterday	never	incredibly	Loudly	Barely
quietly	tomorrow	Not ever	downright	Radically	Not
silently	today	Not ever again	super	Tonight	Eventually
furiously	Next week	always	aggressively	Here	Consequently
independently	Next month	terrifically	intensely	There	Continuously

2 - Without using google, in pairs, create a definition for adverb i.e what is an adverb?

An adverb is a word the describes a verb (a doing word). It is a word that describes
how somethings done, when its done, where it is, to what extent and under what condition it is done in.

For example: She jumped high.

3 - Free write: Create a piece of writing in any style or genre you want.
The key is to make sure it is quality. You challenge is to effectively use at least 10 adverbs.
Once you have finished your writing highlight each of the adverbs in green .

Yesterday, Nyree and her family decided to go and have a bit of fun together.
They went to Gravity - Trampoline Park in Manukau. Which is a huge building,
full of kids jumping hysterically and screaming their heads off loudly. It is full of
trampolines. Playing here, can also be known to be used as an exercise. Wherever
you go in Gravity, you will find excitement to your eyes and to your body. Going there
would be a terrific use of your time, as well as your day too. Anyways, Nyree and her
family had such an awesome time, continously jumping super high and having loads
of fun and food. Hopefully they get to visit that awesome place again.

Article #2

This is the same activity as the other current events presentation. Just a different event.
This one is about NZ's Bully Free Week.

Marshmallow Shooters

Marshmallow Shooter

QUESTION: What factors affect the force of a marshmallow shooter?

MATERIALS

paper cup meter stick Scissors Balloon

metric ruler transparent tape mini marshmallow

PROCEDURE:

1. Tie a knot in the end of the balloon, then snip off about 2 cm from the top of the balloon.
2. Cut the bottom out of the paper cup.
3. Stretch the balloon over the end of the cut off paper cup so that the knot is in
4. the center of the cup.
5. Tape the stretched balloon securely onto the paper cup so that when you
6. pull on the knot of the balloon it stretches with your pull but does not come off the paper cup.
7. Place one mini marshmallow inside the cup so that it rests on the
8. center of the balloon covering the end of the cup.
9. Pointing the opening of the cup away from you and others,
10. pull the knot back and release it so that it snaps and shoots the mini
11. marshmallow out of the cup.
12. Repeat Step 6 but pull the knot a distance of 2 cm and release it.
13. Record the distance the marshmallow lands from the edge of the cup.
14. Repeat Step 7 two more times.
15. Repeat Steps 7 and 8, but this time pull the knot 4 cm and release it.
16. Repeat Steps 7 and 8, using two marshmallows.
17. Repeat Steps 7 and 8, using four marshmallows instead of two.

DATA:

Variable	Trial 1 (distance cm)	Trial 2 (distance cm)	Trial 3 (distance cm)	Trial 4 (distance cm)
2 cm Pull 1 Marshmallow	63 cm	93 cm	86 cm	42 cm
4 cm Pull 1 Marshmallow	1 m 29 cm	2 m 18 cm	1 m 99 cm	2 m 21 cm
2 cm Pull 2 Marshmallows	53 1m 12 cm	28 cm 57 cm	25 cm 30 cm	33 cm 42 cm
2 cm Pull 4 Marshmallows	12 cm 25.5 cm 31 cm 69.5 cm	20 cm 27 cm 27.3 cm 47 cm	17.2 cm 21 cm 23 cm 34.1 cm	16 cm 35 cm 52.3 cm 76.8 cm

QUESTIONS:

1. What force causes the marshmallow to shoot out of the cup?

There is no name for a pulling force. That was the force used in this experiment.

2. How does the distance the marshmallow flew when the balloon was pulled back
3. 2 cm compare with how far it flew when the balloon was pulled back 4 cm? Why?

Because the pressure of the pulled back balloon was greater and harder.

3. Why do the two marshmallows fly further than the 4 marshmallows?

Because 2 marshmallows are lighter and easier to control then 4 marshmallows.

When you put in the most force to launch something, it will go farther then if you put
very little force towards it.
