Maths Problem solved by Ezra

Well done Ezra! You are the first person in Room 8 to blog the correct answer to this weeks Maths problem. Ezra has worked out that each hamburger would be $2.25 and the fries would be $1.50. $2.25 + $2.25 + $1.50 = $6.00. The hamburgers are
75c more than the fries.

Maths Problem

Joshua R has been doing some good thinking about our Maths problem, so has Ezra, Joshua W and Koben. Think about what you are doing to solve the problem? Does the cost of your 2 burgers and fries add up to $6 when you have finished?
In Writing this morning we have been looking at what an advertisement is and the language of advertising. We are going to be linking the language of advertising into our expositional writing unit.
What a great day we are having in Room 8!

Mnemonic

Last week our 'fab word' was 'mnemonic". A mnemonic is a device to help you remember some thing tricky. An example is 'arithmetic' (A red indian thought he might eat toffee in church). Another example is 'Ngaruawahia' (Nine girls are running under a waterfall and here I am). We came up with some good mnemonics of our own.
Do you have a mnemomnic for one of your spelling words this week or perhaps for another word or place name? Please add your mnemonic as a comment to our blog and share it with us.
