Maths, maths and more maths, I guess

Today in math, we were given something very simple to do. The problem started off like this.

Sonny gets given twice as much as Sam.
Sylvia gets triple what Sam gets.




The kids receive a certain amount of candy each per day. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Sylvia gets eighteen pieces of candy. How many candies should Sonny get for five days?
Because of the information we got about Sylvia, we can say, if she gets eighteen in two days, then it must nine for one day. From there we figured out that Sam gets three pieces per day and Sonny gets six. Using simple multiplication, that being six times five, we figured out that Sonny will get thirty pieces in five days.
There was also a second part. If Sam wants to get thirty-nine pieces by Saturday, how many more pieces would he have to get? So, from here we went he would get fifteen for the first five days of the week and need another twenty-four to get thirty-nine pieces by Saturday.

PLANNING A HOLIDAY FOR MATHS???

For maths, we were given the task of planning a ten-day trip, we were given three categories to choose from including 'Family On A Dime', 'Average Joe' and 'Money Can Buy Happiness'. At the start, we had to do all three including activities, accommodation, food and pricing it all up. But after our teacher realised that that wasn't going to happen he asked us to create a pamphlet on the holiday we had already done. I did this on a site called Venngage with the category of 'Family On A Dime'. Here is a link to my work.

And an ending question, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

MATH :'( GAME :D

Over some time we learnt about fractions, decimals and percentages and had to make a Digital Learning Object (DLO) to show what we learnt. On this blog post I will be talking about the game I have made.

BUT THIS IS NO ORDINARY GAME.


YOU WON'T EVEN NOTICE THAT YOU'RE LEARNING WHILE PLAYING IT.


LEARNING ABOUT:



DECIMALS



FRACTIONS



AND WORST OF ALL:





PERCENTAGES.






But okay really, the type of game I have made is basically making your way through the maze and picking the right answers on the right levels, they always are the same answers though wouldn't be too much fun if you had to play it for too long.

I also added a tricky little thing where you will only understand if you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCRATCH SITE. It is where you will find out how to work the game. But it isn't exactly finished so if you did play it, it would be often changed around.

Here are the sources I used to help me with this game:

So, against the total subject, what do you think about a lot of Disney males, I mean Aladdin, Shang, even Maui, not having nipples? In other movies Disney males do still have nipples, don't ask it somehow came up in our maths class...

My friends and I are very frustrated and our now doing real research...
