We have had a great day today full of mathematical investigations. The day began with us working in hwb@cwm. We had a problem to solve, Harry was lost! We learnt all about cells, columnns and rows in Microsoft Excel and by plotting the jumbled messages we had a riddle. When we solved the riddle we worked out that Harry was lost in the USA.
Then we learnt how to add, subtract, multiply and divide using Microsoft Excel. We created a mathematics game so that we can now work out all our sums without having to do any work.
We then went to Miss Howells’ Sweet Emporium and used the formula sum so that we could work out what sweets we could buy with our budget of £5.00. It was awesome, some of us managed to spent exactly £5.00.

This afternoon the fun continued as we worked on our geography topic, ‘Through the window’. We decided to litter pick around our school so we could see if we were taking care of the environment ‘Through the window’. We all worked really hard and managed to fill 16 bags of rubbish. Then we used a forcemeter to weigh each bag. We weighed them in grams and decided that we would use our new knowledge of Microsoft Excel to create a chart of the information. When we used the sum formula we had managed to collect 21350 grams of rubbish. We then divided the cell by 1000 to work out how many kg were collected. The total was 21.35 kg.
We enjoyed our day today especially the litter pick. I wonder what the rest of the week will entail?
