This week for numeracy we have been working on averages. We had a group of numbers and we had to put them in order (smallest to largest number) Then we had to find the Mode, Range, Median and mean. For example if I had a group of numbers 3,9,6,4,6. First you have to put them in order so it now becomes 3,4,6,6,9.
To find the mode you have to find the most popular number. With those numbers 6 is the most popular number. To find the range you have to look at the difference between the smallest and biggest number (3&9) So the difference is 6. The median is the middle number which is also 6. To find the mean you have to add all the numbers and divide your answer by how many numbers there are so 3,4,6,6,9 28 divided by 5. comment below what you get. (it contains decimals). Here is some of my work.
Today at our school we are having a colour day to raise money for the families that were affected on Friday of last week. We were asked to wear bright clothes and avoid the colour red. Since I don't own any bright clothes I chose to wear a shirt with a small rainbow on it. Here is some information about today.

This week for numeracy we have been working on algebraic problems. We had to find out what the shape/letter was in the equation. If the number is right next to the shape/letter it means you have to times it. Kristian and I finished the algebraic questions so we moved on to finding a rule of a pattern. At first I found both tasks a bit difficult but now I find it rather easy. Here are some photos of my work.
This week for music we had to make a presentation about our favourite song. We had to explain why it was our favourite. Here is my slide
This week for numeracy we have been working on adding and subtracting fractions. Here is my presentation
This week for science we were looking at density. So we put an egg into a cup and filled it up with water. At first it sunk but when we added salt to the water it begun to float. The more salt we added the more it would float. When we add the salt the water becomes more dense causing the egg to float. I think it was a pretty cool experiment.
This week in numeracy we have been learning about shapes and we had to find out the definition of a rhombus, quadrilateral and trapezium. I have made a drawing to show my understanding
