Action Fraction



Walt: Add and subtract fractions with related denominators

In this game I am learning how to add and subtract fractions. In this game you have to click on the right answer so you racecar can go fast and win the race. It gets harder and harder. The answer for this equation is 17/20. My strategy was to first add the two top numbers. and that's how I got my answer 17/20.

Fractions/ Basic facts.




In this game you have to figure out how many pentagons can you see but in a mixed fraction. My answer is 2 and 2/5 because I counted the first two pentagons that had all of the five pieces to make the pentagon. Then counted the last to and then I figured out that it was 2 and 2/5.

Evan was really interesting to talk to Because he was really fun to. He has taught me a lot of ways how to spend your money. his saying is spend some on you but save some too. I think the experience was really fantastic. I would like to do it again    

Ragge-Taggle chook


Walt: Retell story.

One day after a flood a girl named Robin found a chook that had been following the flood. All of its feathers were gone. The chook looked like a raggle-taggle chook. Robin went to go and show her mum when the mum looked at the chook she screamed with terror. Robin’s mum said that they should wring her neck and her dad said that they should chop its head off.

Robin did not agree. After that she ran at the back of their garden and started to dig and search for worms. Then Robin’s mum said you can keep the chook only if you look after it. Robin’s friends would save  some lunch for the chook and pick bunches of weeds so the chook could make her nest. The chook now lives in a verandah and mum  and dad are now liking the chook because the chook lays eggs for the mum so she can make omelets for dinner.

And dad likes the chook because everytime he comes back from work at night he holds the chook and walks around with it and talks to it. The next day the chook had scratched Mr dick’s peas that he just planted. Robin went over to say sorry but Mr dick said no worries because the chook repaid him with two eggs. Then Mr dick said to Robin that she had a great bird.
