I hope those brains aren’t overworked because I have another challenge for you:

How many times does the digit 1 appear in the page number?

Here is the latest question to make you think:

In three bowling games, Alice scores 139, 143, and 144.

What score will Alice need in a fourth game in order to have an average score of 145 for all four games?

Girls are much more mature than boys

Girls are much more mature than boys in some cases as they are more organized than boys. But some times boys are more mature than girls as boys know how to act in different situations.

Boys only need to know about their bodies and girls only need to know about girls bodies

I agree with this as girls don’t need to know what is not going to happen to boys and boys don’t need to know what is going to happen to girls.

Families are not important who needs them

Families are important because they provide you with what you need and they give you everything you want. Families are also important so people can reproduce and so the humans don’t die out.

Patterns Post – Wednesday May 19

Mr Chris — Tue, 18 May 2010 04:28:46 +0000

On Wednesday you will be asked to post your 2 best number/letter/colour patterns on the blog as a comment for this posting.

It would be great if you could use some imagination in putting your pattern together.

Let’s see if we can get some good conversations going about the different patterns our class members make by adding comments about the patterns they record.

Provocations for Tuesday May 18

Mr Chris — Mon, 17 May 2010 15:32:20 +0000

Please DO NOT post your answers as new postings.

Simply make them a comment from this posting.

Here are today’s provocations (statements that make you think).

1. Friends can help you overcome any problem…..

2. It’s best to have just have one best friend….

3. Friends are important to everyone…..

Read at least 10 other peoples comments and see if we can get some respectful discussions around the provocations. It will be fun to see what ideas people have and how others react to them. Keep commenting until you have made about 10 comments.

Read instructions carefully……

Mr Chris — Mon, 17 May 2010 10:35:54 +0000

Some people did not read their instructions that carefully. Your provocations were meant to be comments, not new blog postings. Please read your instructions very carefully everybody.

For those who did post their ideas as a posting, just leave it there. Next time check carefully what needs to be done.

More lessons will be coming to you for tomorrow.

Have a nice evening,

Mr Chris

Girls are more mature than boys…..

I agree with this statement and at the same time I don’t because in the world there are some boys that are mature and the are some girls that are not as mature as boys. It depends on how the person is to decide whether this person is mature or not.

Boys should know about boys bodies and girls should know about girls…..

I think both of the genders should know about each others bodies because once we learn about the bodies, it might help us in the future such as if you want to be a doctor, it is important to know about the bodies of a male’s and a female’s so you know what to do.

Families are not that important, who needs them…..?

I disagree with this because everyone needs to have a family because we learn from our families and when we make mistakes, our family is there to help us and tell us what is wrong and what is right.
