Mathletics

Reflection for mathletics
intro:
Last week we did some mathletics designs The first two days we did the ones Mr Moriarty asked us to do. then we started our own on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,


Something I was pleased with was that I got all the measurements right because last year I had small shapes and big shapes.
I really enjoyed learning how to make the designs because It is quite hard without the sheets.


Something I found hard was getting straight lines because the ruler would always move.
Something that made me think was what design to do because
there are 32 designs.
                  Something I want to get better at is using the compass, something I can do about it is practice, practice, practice... Practice makes perfect.

Air

Air
 
What is Air? Air is magical it keeps us alive and I am here to tell you that air does exists.


_______________________________________________________________
Experiment: Does air exists.


Equipment: Container filled with h2o
A Jar
paper towel                           hi


Predict: yes the paper will stay dry because the air is trapped inside.


What happened: the first time it got wet because it went in on a lean. It didn't get wet the second time because it went straight down  the air stayed in and the paper towel stayed dry because the air couldn’t get out so the water couldn’t come in.


Explain: First you get a bucket and fill it so the water is taller than the jar. Then you screw the paper up and shove it in the jar and put it in the water if bubbles come up the air has escaped and the water would have got in.
