Maths

I am learning to solve subtraction problems by using
1. tidy numbers and
2. place value and splitting

92-49=43
1. 49+1=50 92-50=42+1
2. 92-40=52-9=43

84-38=46
1.38+2=40 84-40=44+2
84-30=54-4=46

I solved these problems by using place value and tidy tens.

Making slime

This is a sample of my recount writing.

Today on the 29th of August Mrs N made slime in room7. Why we made slime was because we were trying to achieve our goals.

First Mrs N put half of a cup of white corn flower into boiling steamy hot water. The water was in the sticky yucky stuff. Then she put blue food colouring into the bowl. It looked watery.
I cant wait to see what it looks like when its real slime.
