Dangerous Decimals

   Dangerous Decimals
We are learning to identify the relationship between fractions and decimals


NOTE: Before we do this I am not quite sure about the answers I am going
to give but I’m gonna try to give the bestest answer I could give. Hope you
enjoy. Thanks!
  


What is 1/10 as a decimal? 0.1


What is 4/10 as a decimal? 0.4


What is 1/100 as a decimal? 0.01


What is 9/100 as a decimal? 0.09


What is 1/1000 as a decimal? 0.001


What is 7/1000 as a decimal? 0.007


What is 24/100 as a decimal? 0.24


What is 55/100 as decimal? 0.55


What is 12/10 as a decimal? 1.2

0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8


0.6 + 0.2 = 0.8


0.7 + 0.5 = 1.2


0.3 + 0.2 = 0.5


5/10 + 0.5 = 1


1/10 + 0.4 = 0.5


5/100 + 0.21 = 0.26

What do you notice about these fractions?
Show your working for the remainder of the problems


I have 2/16 of a cake at a birthday party. I keep going back for more and eat another  
6/16 of a cake. What fraction of a cake have I eaten altogether? 8/16 because 2/16 + 6/16 =
8/16.


⅓ + ⅔ = For this 1 I only added the 2 top numbers and left the 2 bottom numbers as it is.
Then I got the answer to 3/3
⅙ + 2/6 = As for the same I only added the top numbers and got the answer to 3/6
12/25 + 3/25 = The final answer for these 3 answers are 15/25


I have 5/21 of a cake left over from the party. Then I give 3/21 of a cake to my sisters.
What fraction of a cake do I have left over? 2/21 because 5/21 - 3/21 = 2/21.

½ + 2/4 = First I changed ½ into 2/4 and added both 2/4 which the answer would be 4/4  
3/6 + ⅔ = I chose to change 3/6 into ⅔ and as for this I add both ⅔ and the answer is 4/3
⅕ + 2/10 = First I change the 2/10 into ⅕ and add ⅕ + ⅕ which is ⅖

Team Building Recount

It is that time for the year 7’s, It is time for team building. This is a time for the year 7’s to experience a few leadership opportunities and have jolly fun. There are 3 awesome days ahead of us, ( making slime, cooking, water sports, street games and more ). These 3 days are going to be awesome.      

2 days later…. The final day of team building had begun. I was pumped up and ready to finish it
off properly as it was our final day of team building. There were loads of different teams around me
as we were seated on the ground inside the street. The teachers were about to announce the activities
we were going to do for the day. 5 hours later….. It is time to celebrate and finish the week off with a
boogie along with some music. My day just kept getting crazier and funnier, all team leaders were
selected to list down the people that were there to sort out all the food that was provided for us,
( all food items were provided by Mrs Salu ).

Everyone were extremely excited to get there boogie on and have a bit of a laugh. There were food, drinks and plenty of junk on the day. 20 minutes later……. After having a bit of a feed I was ready
to dance with a few of my friends, I was really happy as we also got a few of the teachers up and
dancing. The teams that challenged each other in all the dance battles we had were, Yellow &
Green, Red & Blue, Purple & Orange. All teams were incredible but unfortunately churry didn’t get
to where we wanted to.

After having our mini dance battles Mrs Salu had given us 25 more minutes to dance
until it was time for our mini prizegiving. For the last 25 minutes Mrs Salu had chosen for
everyone to play musical statues, I could tell everyone was surprised as there were only 4 - 6
people  left in the game. 15 minutes later…. There were only 10 minutes left of dancing. Everyone
slowly got ready for our prizegiving.

All the teachers that were there were really excited to give the prizes out to those who participated
in all events. Our 10 minutes was over and it was time to get ready for our final event which was
our prizegiving. Everyone was seated on the ground and none was talking, It was quieter than usual.
The prizes were about to be handed out and all the scores were about to be announced.

Mrs Salu decided to go from last to 1st, Mrs Salu finally called our group name as we came
5th place, the prizes were boxes of pizza and bags of chocolates as well as lollipops. Team
churry was still proud of ourselves as we did come first in the team chant and 5th overall. After
selecting our prizes team churry and team orange justice decided to share the boxes of pizza and
all the goodies we had on the day.

Overall I enjoyed my week with all the year 7’s and the leftover teachers. I would like to say
thank you to all the teachers and helpers who organised these 3 days and helped us with
everything we needed. It has been an incredible experience and having awesome opportunities
of being a leadership person one day. Thank you to all helpers and teachers, It has been epic with
you all.
