Subtracting Decimals

Walt: revisit problems involving fractions,decimals and percentages. 

In this game it is really simple for me. It is simple for me because all you are doing is subtracting. It is just like adding your decimals but you are subtracting. The easy part for me was to subtract the decimal. The challenging part was really nothing, because I got them all right. I would really like to improve my adding decimals. So I would love Mrs Ramkolowan to give me more questions on adding decimals. That would be great.

Walt: write an information report.

Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt is located in North-eastern Africa by the river Nile. Ancient Egyptians invented things that we are using today, like keys and locks. The climate in Ancient Egypt is very dry and hot. The land in Egypt is 90 percent desert. The Ancient Egyptians also traded their cultures like Ancient Greece and Rome.

The Nile River

The Nile river is a river that flows in the middle of Ancient Egypt. The Nile river is so important Ancient Egyptians because the main part of Egypt is desert and the only the only water place is the Nile River. Most people line next to the Nile River. The Nile river is named after a Greek word named Nelios. The length of the Nile river is 6695 km.

Pyramids

Humans have been building pyramid structures for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptian pyramids are most well known in Ancient Egypt. Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Ancient Egypt. The pyramid of Giza is the most largest and oldest pyramid in the Giza Necropolis. Nearly all the pyramids of Egypt are located in the west part of the Nile River.

Basic Facts Assessment

Walt: reflect on my basic - facts assessment.

My mark for basic facts is a total of 44 stage 6 . That means I made it through the next stage, which is stage 7. The part that was very easy was to arrange numbers from big to small, addition, subtraction, was to write down a number. For example: four hundred and seventy multiplication and division. I got those questions really fast. My weakness two thousand one hundred and six. That was really hard for me and the other part was to put < = > symbol in the right place. I am aiming to work on the challenging parts and to have more confidence in doing the kind of work that is difficult.

Mummification

Walt: write an information report.

In Ancient Egypt, Egyptians always mummified the people who had died . The Ancient Egyptians removed organs such as the brain but not the heart. They would always salt the body and keep the body to dried. Then they would stuff lots of cloths so that the body can keep it’s shape and to stop it from rotting  away. After the Egyptians would rub oil on the body. After they have rubbed the body with oil they would wrap it up with lots of bandages. The priest supervised. The people believed that the  priest could send the body’s spirit to the next world. Ancient Egyptians used very special instruments to touch the body. The mummies were placed in a case. Some cases were beautifully decorated and some were plain wooden. An important person like a Pharaoh would be placed in a stone coffin.

Should Drugs Be Decriminalised?

Walt: write an opinion.

I fervently believe that cannabis should be decriminalized. I'm saying this because I don’t want to see people turning into murderers and criminals. Even though people smoke all kinds of drugs and drink alcohol, it should be illegal and banned. To my opinion I think that people are stupid enough to even think of smoking, take sessions and drinking. I think that if people only drink or smoke twice a month that will be brilliant and awesome at the same time. Drugs and alcohol may be a habit, but you should think and do the right thing for you and everyone else. So what I am saying is that people should smoke and drink less and to think in a positive way. Don’t go through depression and  walk in a negative and narrow path. Smokers, drug dealers, drinkers and criminals should think straight and stop doing what they are addicted to. That is my opinion.

Division

What, I have done here is that I have been doing my division and I have been revising my work from last term. It was really difficult for me because I did not know the what the symbol was, but I got there anyway. I would really like Mrs Ramkolowan to give me more problems on multiplication and division.
