In math class,we are learning about adding decimals. To me, its really simple. You also have to make sure when you're adding them, the numbers are nicely lined up, NOT scrambled everywhere! If you don't line them up, it can affect your answer.It's important to know how to add decimals so you know prices,totals,percentages,and amounts. If you don't,when you're at the grocery store, you won't notice you don't have enough for all your food! Here's how to add decimals:
111
156.23
164.85
321.08
Just say that was a total of money raised for a fundraiser. Here's an example of food prices:
Cheese: $3.76
Eggs:$4.01
Soap:$6.50
Carrots:$0.99
Bananas:$1.22
Gummy Bears:$2.03
Shampoo:$6.89

In Science, Jenny and I are doing a physical change experiment. It is called Swirled Milk. I tried it at home and it is really cool. I used neon colours for it. Here are the materials needed:
- room temperature milk, any percentage,preferrably 1%.
- Food colouring in any colour, atleast 3 colours.
- a container to hold the materials in ( cups, pans, pots,bowls,etc...) {http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwTOU6S8jps/TI-eRyhmtbI/AAAAAAAAAi4/CX-EnTTiV9g/s1600/September+2010+009.jpg}
- atleast 2 tbsps. of dish soap.
- about 30 minutes of your spare time, you have to be very patient.
It will make really cool swirled patterns but remember.... DO NOT drink the milk afterwards or you will get really sick.
When using the food colouring, wear an apron or old clothing or your clothes will be ruined if you spill...... da da DAAAAAA!

On October 27th,2010, we had a math test in our 4th period. It was kind of hard because I have trouble counting by 8's but I think I did OK. Hopefully I get a score of 87%-100%. We did place value,multiplication, and skip counting the numbers 9,8, and 10. 10's are very easy. 9's are in between. 8's are so terrible! You can get up to 91 marks. We also did expanded form and standard form. But NEVER try to cheat in Room 500 or Miss Haas will rip up your test and throw it away and give you a big fat 0!! The bonus question was simple! What is the name of the text book we use in math? Well that's way too easy! We also had to figure out if a pattern was a growing,shrinking,or repeating pattern. I preferrably like tests over the actual subject because it is all of you lessons and tricks onto 1 to 3 papers! Plus,if there is a test,it means the unit is almost over! Thank goodness! Well anyways, catch you later! Bye!

A rule for multiplication is when you make a number,it will add another 0 each time no matter what you multiply by.Here is an example:
10x10=100
10x100=1000
10x1000=10000

Why: Because whenever I count by 9's I freeze up because I forget the following number.
3. To add 9 digit numbers.
be cool! {Wizard1.jpg} I'll be a math wizard like this dude!I will be a math wizard like the wizard above!
4. To do all of my homework right away and on time.
Why: There is too many distractions and good T.V. shows at home!
5. To learn how to count sheep at night!
Why: I can count and all, but I get freaked out thinking of sheep jumping over a fence!
6. To learn more ways to find a solution to a problem.
Why: I get stuck and frusterated sometimes!
Well, anyways, I hope I can learn these things this year to become a math wizard. Yay!!!

I have more than 3 math goals as math is not my best subject. Math is okay, I guess. Well anyways,here are my math goals this year.I hope I accomplish them.
1. To do division better.
Why: I find it a little hard and frustrating. Also, we didn't learn division very much last year.
2. To count by 9's a little better.
Why: Because whenever I count by 9's I freeze up because I forget the following number.
3. To add 9 digit numbers.
Why: I think it would be cool!
