This is my life:Creative Writing Matrix

One day is Africa there was a boy born and his name was Harold. When Harold was a baby everyone in town knew who he was. When he was about 7 he began a trend in Africa. This trend was wearing your pants as high a you nipples. When he was a teenager his favorite thing to do was walk the streets with his pants up high. When he was 22 he got employed for an office job. Every day he wore a pink dress shirt and grey dress pants up high and always had his arms straight. His best friend was and Indian called Disco Time. As he got older he was walking the streets of Africa and saw a swarm of people copying his style. From that day on he was the most popular African ever.

Term Reflection:

I have enjoyed this Term in home economics, not so much the Theory work but I did enjoy the practicals much more. My favourite thing we made this term was the Biscuits. I feel like I worked quite well with all the teammates that I had. 

Eye Dissection

On Thursday we had a dissection on a Cows Eye. In my group was Logan and Austin, and then we had an extra eye so I did it by myself. At first I felt a bit queasy but then after I really enjoyed it. My favorite part was trying to cut the eye in half. Overall I really enjoyed this dissection 

Calculating squares on the outside of a grid

For the past week we have been learning about how to calculate the squares on the outside of a 10 by  10 grid we came up with 6 calculations on how to do it. Today I will share two with you, one I came up with and the other my class found out together.

First Method:

10 x 4 - 4 = 36

So the reason for this is there are 10 squares of each side of the grid and there are 4 sides. So we do 10 x 4 but then we takeaway 4 because the corners are counted more than once.

Now lets replace the numbers with letters,

4n - 4 =36
Lets try this theory on a larger grid, lets do a 60 by 60.
60 x 4 = 240, 240 - 4 = 236

Final Method:

10 + 10 + 8 + 8 = 36

So the reason for this one is we count the whole row on the top and bottom which each are 10 then take the corners away and count the two sides and you have two 8's.

Convert numbers to letters:

n + n + (n - 2) + (n - 2) = 36
Lets try this one on a larger grid, 60 + 60 + 58 + 58 = 236.

This is the grid with all the answers,

Do you think there are any other ways to work out this problem?
