Rounding Decimals

Walt: Solve problems in multiplication and division that have decimals.

This game is called rounding decimals. I had to round the numbers to the nearest 1 to complete the equation. I am not good at rounding decimals but I gave it my all. I still don't understand how to do decimals so I practice at home.

Comparing Decimals

Walt: Solve problems in multiplication and division that have decimals.

This maths game is called comparing decimals. It challenges you into using <=> symbols in the right order from big to small. And the crocodile always eats the big number first. I found quite a bit of a challenge but I still did it. I got a total of 90% in my first go. What I'll like to learn next is Geometery

Reflections - Basic Facts Assessment

Screenshot 2014-05-14 at 9.37.39 AM.png


Today I got my test results for my mathematics. I did well in  place value, addition, multiplication, subtraction, division,  and also arranging the numbers from big to small. I got a total of 590 in stage 6 which is pretty good. I would like to improve in using symbols correctly and also writing numbers from words. I am going to improve in my mathematics by practicing with my mother in using symbols. Or even download an app to help me learn.
The next time I do my maths test I hope to get at least 100% and if I do I will be very proud.

Maths class

double bar graph.png



Here at Glen Innes school they love eating their fruits, when there fruit box comes. For a couple of days I have been asking the students at Glen Innes school what their favourite fruit is. I asked 50 students (mix of boys and girls) and I got the results. I surveyed the senior and middle school students


The students had to choose between the following fruits here.
The reason why i chose the subject fruits is because there are loads of fruit like starfruit, pomegranate, apricots and dates, but I was really curious about out of all the other fruits, what fruit do they enjoy best.I found it really challenging because I had to ask 50 people out of the school in 2 days. I finally got it finished sparing my morning tea time.

What i would like to do next time is try and survey 100 people out of the school including the teachers.

Dragon Attack

It was a ordinary day, children playing in the park, people feeding the ducks. Just what typical people would do on a Sunday afternoon. Suddenly a scary looking dragon appeared out of no where. Its eyes were flaming red. It had flames as red as blood and wings as green as grass. Everything in its path was wiped out by the ferocious dragon. Its tail was whacking everything at the back of it. It roared and fire came out of its nostrils. Everyone was terrified.



The Dragon breathed fire onto the wooden houses and they burned down in flames causing black smoke to roam around the city. Firefighters, police and even the army were alerted to come down and take the foul beast down.
They shot it with gun powered rockets. Blood started to pour out of his hand causing him to die. To this day, the dragon’s carcass is displayed in the  Auckland Museum.

The Lost Children

The Lost Children


One hot Spring day the Hamilton family were planning to stay the night in the Misty Creek forest In Australia. So they packed their bags and stored them away in the car. The next day John, Bethany and Steven were getting ready to take off.
“ Come on kids your father wants to get a move on ” their mother shouted.
5 minutes later the three of them were ready to go. They hopped in the car and drove off with no care in the world.
“ The drive is going to take three hours “ said Dad.
Two hours later and the kids have gotten so bored that they fell asleep in the car.


Finally they had arrived at the Misty Creek forest. It was very quiet with no sound at all. There was not even a bird chirping in the air. It was getting night therefore
they grabbed their sleeping bags and drifted along to sleep. The next morning their mother got up bright and early and fried some eggs for breakfast.
“ Delicious Mom “ said Steven.
The kids were very bored with nothing to do. They didn't bring anything to play with.
“ Mom can we go for a hike the three of us? “ asked Bethany softly.
“ We'll as long as you come back by four o’clock “
“ Yes! “ shouted Bethany.
They packed some food and water in a bag and also some binoculars.
“ Bye kids be safe “ called out their mother.
There were two roads, one that leaded to the Misty Creek beach and also one that lead to the forest. They went on the forest path. 2 hours later it was 3:00 the kids didn't know where they were. The three of them kept on walking hoping that it would lead them back to the campsite. It was 5:00 and their mother was getting worried.


“ Are you sure the kids are alright? “
“ I'm positive “ replied the father
It was 6:00 and the kids still hadn't come home. So their mum called the police.
The kids were very scared and it was becoming dark too.
It was 7:00 and the kids made themselves a little camp out. They only had a little bit of supplies left. The police saw a sparkling light coming from a mile away.
“ I’ve found the kids “ yelped the police man. He started to run as fast as a Leopard to them  just incase one of them was hurt. The police man rang the parents.
“ We have found your kids! “ He shouted.
He grabbed some towels and wrapped them around them. They were all happy to see
