Mobile Puzzles | Maths

I created two different types of mobile puzzles.

Mobile puzzles are when you use different types of shapes to make a number or both sides are the same number.

For example: the number im adding up to is 32. The shapes im using are circles and triangles, so half of 32 is 16 which means that there are 4 circles and two triangles because 4 circles are worth 4 and triangles are worth 8. So both of them add up to make 32.

The second example is when both sides are worth the same amount and not adding up to anything. For example: both sides are worth 80, so the first side has two trapiziums and one heart. The heart is worth 20 and the trapizuim is worth 30.

The second side has two squares and one circle. The two squares are worth 10 each and the one circle is worth 60. So both sides add up to 80.

I need to make more harder ones for my teachers so there is more math that they need to do.







Line Art | Maths

I created a maths art called line art.

Line art is is a kind of art which a bunch of straight lines that makes up to one curve line. You will need a ruler and a pencil so you can make the lines look straight.

You need to connect the lines together which is called the intersection. The intersection means one thing meets another like the lines.

Next time I need to draw straighter axis with a ruler.

Here is an example of what my line art looks like:

SSR Selfie | Earthquakes

I read a book about earthquake which was written by Rachel Walker.

Earthquakes are a natural disaster which can cause the ground to shake and buildings and other stuff to fall to the ground and seaquakes are caused in the ocean to make big amounts of water.

One fact about earthquakes is: Engineers are always working on safety by studying the effects of an earthquake and all the damages caused on buildings.

I enjoyed this activity because I am learning more about earthqaukes.

I created and completed a draft on one of my fractured fairy tale.

The first I step I took was looking back at my plan that I made last week, I made a few changes to the story. The only things I changed was the characters and the settings in the story.

Next I wrote down all the parts of the story and changed a few things in each parts of the story.

Improper Fractions

I completed a task where I identify improper fractions.

First, I wrote down the fraction in words. For example: seven quarters.

Next, I wrote down the fraction in numbers/numerals. For example: 7/4.

Afterwards, I used the pizza slices to show the fraction.

Last, I wrote down the explaination for the fraction. For example: There are four pieces each in total ( Quarters ) but one piece is gone. There are now seven pieces in total.

This task was kind of challenging cause I did not understand how to use the pizza slices.

SSR Selfie

I read a book about earthquakes written by Laura Wade.

This book talks about how earthqaukes start, how strong they are and what to do in a earthqauke situation.

The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the focus. Energy from an earthquake starts deep in the earth and moves up from the focus directly to the central point on the surface.


When a strong earthquake occurs you should follow these rules: stay calm, leave the area immediately, and head from the hills and up a steep hill.


I enjoyed getting to know more about earthquakes and what they did.
