Sharing My Learning with the Principal



My Reflection: 

I had a meeting with the principal and shared morning tea with her to celebrate a personal best effort this term.  I shared my triangle work on my e-portfolio and my work in my maths book.  I am much neater in my maths book now.

Learning About Geometry

We learned about triangles:
An equilateral triangle is acute and its sides are all the same.
An isosceles triangle has 2 same sides.
A scalene triangle's sides are all different.
A right angled triangle has a right angle (90 deg.)
An acute triangle has its angles all less than 90 deg.. 
An obtuse triangle has one of its angles 91 deg. or more.
Triangles have three sides each.


Reflection:
I enjoyed sharing my knowledge about the different triangles with our class.
I also got to draw the triangles and put them on the board.

They are:
*Equilateral
*Isosceles
*Scalene
*Right Angled
*Acute
and
*Obtuse

My Basic Facts Progress



Reflection:
On February, I got 98 of my school math test questions right, then on March, I went down a little, to 97, and on April, I went way up to 98 again. Last month, I went way up (to 99), then this month I finally got everything(100) right. My number of school math test questions are 492. Every other classmate in Room 13 got less.

Solving money problems using halving and doubling



My reflection:

I have been using the halving and doubling.  I didn't half exactly except for 6 halved is 3 but I got the right answer which was very curious indeed. I will do more halving and doubling.

Solving fractions of a number



My reflection:
I found out all questions, and I got the first one wrong at the first try, but at the next try I got it right. Then I did the next questions until I finished the last question.  I liked the questions.

My Memorable Meal



DRAFT 1

My Memorable Meal
By Mikey

My breakfast
I have a rumbly tummy when I wake up in the morning and cannot wait until my Coco-Crunch is prepared for me to eat.  When I eat my Coco-Crunch, it  fizzes in my mouth.  The Coco Pops looks like  choco-burst. The Maple Crunch has a vanillary taste; looks good as well.  That makes my tummy nice and full.
My tummy grumbles as i wake up. Yummyummyummy Yummy Yummy Yummy - there goes my coco-crunch!  Coco Pops and Maple Crunch mixed together creates “Coco-Crunch”! Chew-Chew-Chew-swalllow!!!!1!!! Its shapes are circle and double-square! They make sounds like “Popping crunch! Fizz! Vanillary!!”
I like it everyday! It gives me lots of energy to play and run!

I edited my punctuation and spelling (spellctuation).
Then I highlighted my paragraph start in blue.
Finally I highlighted the adjectives in yellow and verbs in green.

I learned about Pop and Crunch are onomatopoeic words because the word sounds like the sound they make.

Halving and doubling


I worked out how to halve and double numbers. In this exercise, I learned how to add money by halving and doubling factors.
