Handshakes

Problem Solving

LI: To use my number knowledge to help me choose the best strategy to solve this problem

Work with a friend to solve this problem from the transum website. Once you have done this you will need to make a screen recording to show your thinking.

Which means that the answer is 351

Explain:

There are 27  students in room 9, and if 2 students shook hands with each other that would relate to 1 handshake. So if 3 students shook hands that would calculate up to 3 handshakes and you keep going, the answer would be 351.

Answer: 351

This is a maths problem solving activity that Asmah, Kyra and I have done. It was to calculate how many handshakes will there be with 27 students in Room 9. Asmah, Kyra and I have worked collaboratively.

Our Popplet

 

This is a popplet that me and my friend Asmah has done. It's about storm water and waste water. One of our facts that are on here is our waste water is cleaned and treated before it goes into the creek. Storm water run off flows through the storm drain system and into the creek untreated.

Rapids

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fog
It turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majesty
But I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology

4. Describe the journey of the rapids?

The Rapid’s journey started on spring. It was flowing really, really fast and then in seconds it started to flow super slow because of the wind wasn't blowing any more.

This is my poetry that I have done about rapids with my friend, Asmah. We had to identify all of the language features in the poem.
