Making Shapes Out Of Clay!

Yesterday we got given a task to make a 3d shape by using clay, we also had water and knifes to make it softer and easier to shape. I decided to create a triangular pyramid. This shape has 4 faces, 5 vertices and 5 edges.

Problem Solving

1. $375 + $127 = $502

          $300 + $100 = $400

          $75 + $27 = $102

          $400 + $102 = $502

       

    2. 659 + 196 = 855

        600 + 100 = 700

        50 + 90 = 140

        9 + 6 = 15

        700 + 140 + 15 = 855

   3. $4500 - $2842 = $1658

        2842 + 1158 = 4000

        4000 + 500 = 4500

        1158 + 500 = 1658

   4. 947 - 632 = 315

       632 + 300 = 932

       932 + 15 = 947

       300 + 15 = 315

 

   5. $237 + $1254 = 1491

        200 + 1200 = 1400

        37 + 54 = 91      

    6. 1683 - 387 = 1296

        387 + 1000 = 1387

        1387 + 200 = 1587

        1587 + 13 = 1600

        1600 + 83 = 1683

        1000 + 200 + 13 + 83 = 1296

     7. 1693 - 573 = 1120

         573 + 427 = 1000

         1000 + 600 = 1600

         1600 + 93 = 1693

        

     8. 9463 - 3853 = 5610

         3853 + 5000 = 8853

         8853 + 147 = 9000

         9000 + 400 = 9400

         9400 + 63 = 9463

What is a function and a loop?

Today the yr 7&8 extension group had a task to learn and understand what a function and loop meant in coding. While trying to learn it we got to dance to show examples of what these are. Heres what I learnt.

A function is a piece of code that you can easily call over and over again. It includes the specific steps performed in the function.

A loop is a repetitive action or command typically created with programming loops.
