2a: $2 because then the children get two each and they might get one of each colour then they can swap

2b:$3 because then they can get three and they might get two of one colour and the one another colour.

2c:$6 because then they get two each and it has a higher chance of getting two of the same colour.

Question 3:

Show your working and answer here: For the first question i think it is 16 because you just need to times it by four which equals 16.

For the second question i think that it is 400 because there are 4 tiles and then u just times it by one hundred.

What is you next step? My next step is to keep practicing so that they come more easy to me.

Term 1 Novel Study

Term 1 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel See ya Simon By: David Hill

I found this novel Interesting and exciting because I learnt about muscular dystrophy and what he has to do about it and how he feels around other kids knowing that he has this disease

During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows I how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

• Link to Explain Map
• Link to Inference Map

National Standard this covers

• Year 7/8  Standard
• using several pieces of information to make inferences
  using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes
• I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.
