Dividing Fractions

Dividing Fractions
LPG 15

Recently, I have been dividing fractions by fractions. A quick 'strategy I have learnt, is how if you want the answer to be a whole number, just look at the top of the first fraction and you have the answer! XD Or you can keep the first fraction, change the division to multiplication then swap the top with the bottom on your other fraction.

Know Your Character

Multiplying Fractions

LPG - 15 - Stage 8
Recently, I have been multiplying fractions by fractions. What we would do, is times the top fraction by the top fraction on the other side. Then we would multiply the bottoms. When you have multiplied both the bottom and the top, the fractions you multiplied will be another fraction, or the answer! After you have the answer, you can convert it into a smaller fraction to get a good answer in general.

My Chapter Book - LPG 24

My Chapter Book

  

Recently, Pod 5 have been learning about similes, metaphors and personification. It was free choice writing time, and I had to write a story, so I began to write a chapter book! So far, I have finished the Introduction, and started on Chapter 1. When I have finished my story, I will publish it on a computer, hand craft a book with paper, then stick the pages in the book!

My main focus for this project is LPG 24 in writing. So far I have only written the prologue, and started chapter 1.


It will improve, but I hoped you enjoyed what it has it has so far!

The Learning Pit - Ryan Wallace

The Learning Pit

The learning pit is a place where you would stop and think. My class all made a poster about this, and you can see my one on the right. My friend Barry was in this picture, and he is the stick-figure taking the two routes of the learning pit. First, the route of going into the learning pit is when you don't know what to do, but then figure it out. Like it shows, Barry at the start thinks, "here we go!" Then falls into the learning pit exclaiming, "wait, what do I do?" When he is in the learning pit, he then gets confused, eventually pushing him to say to himself that he is confused! Like on the picture, it shows that Barry is yelling, "I'm confused!" After that, he tries to figure out how to get out of the learning pit, and then finds a box of rope beside him, so he grabs the rope out of the box, chucks it out of the learning pit, onto the ground above him while getting it stuck behind a metal structure. Barry climbs up the rope, thinking to himself, "I'm getting it!" Eventually, Barry climbs to the top, then screamed, "I DID IT!" The learning pit basically is something that you get stuck, but then find the solution to the problem. The other route of the learning pit is very simple, but is not the best thing to do. Instead of going into the learning pit, you go over the learning pit. So it means that you're leaping over the learning pit, having no clue about what you're meant to do down there, which can lead to some consequences. As shown on my drawing, Barry jumps over the learning pit, observing the end while thinking, "completing it without knowledge, heh!" And I suggest not taking the route of skipping the learning pit. Which means your future cannot be so great while doing what you were meant to do down there.

Texter - Ryan Wallace

Texter

Our class have been making art with technology, using complex sentences! You can make your own by using this website. Texter

I made my own art shown right here!

The reason we did this project, was because we are learning about complex sentences, and using technology. So we found this website, that let us make art with sentences using technology!

My art was about a snake approaching a bird, getting reading to have a snack. It is really fun to make art with this website, and there are some features that let you change background colour, and text colour.
