Fundraising for our camp

The day started so cold. So I went and got heaps of jumpers on so that It wouldn’t be cold any more.

I was glad that we were going to do a carwash for our school carwash. I got very happy and started running outside cause I was excited. It was a very exciting day for me. I was very excited because I was going to be washing cars with my friends because this is how we making money for our` camp. Also because This was for our camp.

When we were going to school at 7.30am, there was no one there  so I went with my dad to Tamaki college, then I walked back to Glenbrae school at 8.00 am. When I got there, I saw a lot of kids setting up for the car wash.

After the student and teachers finished setting up the things for the carwash. They started to do the car washing liquid in the bucket so they can start to wash Mrs Elia’s car.

When some of the student finished washing Mrs Elias car they started to wash Mr Nath’s car. Then more cars started to come in, and we started to work faster because their were more cars that come in.

When most of the cars were already washed that's when I got very wet so I went to change out of my wet clothes and changed into my dry clothes and then I didn’t go back to wash any more cars.

Last of all,  it was time for people to start packing up their carwash things and go home. It was very cool because I got to be with my friends and wash cars with them to earn money for our camp.

We raised around $900 and that was a good result for only 4 hours of hard work. I hope we make a lot more money next time.

He is My Maths Work that we have done this Week

Marilyn needs to fertilise her front lawn. It measures 20 metres by 35 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that she plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should she buy?

Remember: length X width

1.

20 x 30  = 600

20 x 5 = 100

100  +  600 = 700

20 x 35 = 700

2.

700 ÷ 2 = 350

700 ÷ 200 = 3.5

She will have to by 4 but use have of the 4 bag so then that makes 3.5.

2) Mr Masua needs to fertilise our school lawn. It measures 35 metres by 40 metres. Each bag of the fertiliser that he plans to use covers approximately 200m2. How many bags should he buy?

30 x 40 = 1200

40 x 5 = 200

1200 + 200 = 1400

40 x 35 = 1400

1400 ÷ 2 = 700

1400 ÷ 200 = 7

The strategy I used was called Place value partitioning

Decimals maintenance (Write down the strategies you use)

Sally was painting her house. She needed 0.48 litres for each wall of her kitchen and 1.34 litres for each wall of her bedroom.

How many litres does she need for the kitchen? The answer is 1.92      4 x 40 = 160

4 x 8 = 32

160 + 32 = 192

How many litres does she need for the bedroom?

134 x 4 = 536 then I put the decimal point in the 5 and the 3

3.98 + 12.34 = 16.32

0.089 + 0.834 = 0.923

Which is bigger? 0.89 or 0.782 0.89

0.98 - 0.234 = 0.746

0.5 - 0.24 = 0.19

12.89 - 9.242 =3.648

I think this is stage 6 to 7.

My next goal is to use rounding and competition.
