Doubling and Halving

In class, we learned a new strategy called Doubling and halving 


When you do this strategy you have to think about how can you make it easier  

5 x 48 = 240

10 x 24 =240

For example: 

I doubled the 5 to become 10 then I halved 48 to become 24 and that's how I got my answer.

6 x 3.5 = 21

3 x 7 =21

For example:

I doubled the 3.5 to become 7 then I halved the 6 to become 3 and that's how I got my answer.

Limerick Poems

 Write a poetry blog post 

In class, I learned about limerick poems. They have usually humorous poems.     

Here is an example poem we look at in class…


The Boy Bart


There once was a boy called Bart

He loved to fart

He had no friends

Because he always defends 

That was the boy Bart


 The Girl Zoe 


I once met a girl named Zoe 

She met a boy named Joey 

They fell in love

And saw a dove

That's the girl Zoe


The Apprentice fairy


I once met an apprentice from Keri

She was training to be a fairy 

But one day she got a fright

She realized she was afraid of heights 

That was the apprentice from Keri.
