This week for writing we had to make a google doc with a rhyme in it. So we first started by watching twas the night before Christmas rhyme then we had to make a google document and create our own Rhyme with the same topic. So I first thought about what are things people do in Christmas then I wrote it in Rhymes and the last words of the sentence had to Rhyme with the last words of the other sentence. So I used word's like Singing and Blinging. It was hard because you don't know how you would Rhyme that word and what it Rhymes with.

So when we found a idiom we had to find the meaning of it in the book then find the real meaning for a example cut to the chase the real meaning for cut the chase is when you talk for to long but you haven't got to the point but the meaning of it in the book is when a company was taking to long for a Stuart Levine to publish his back.

Algorithm Multiplication

LI: To learn about different strategies.
This week for maths we had to pick our own strategies and had to pick how much questions were doing. So we first started by picking our last subject for the week my last subject was Multiplication and I was doing Algorithm. So my first equation was 2,617 X 5 then I started to multiply them together and com up with the answer slowly. Then I did one more equation and that one took long because I did two digits which means I had to multiply each digit one by one and I had to have two answer boxes because at the end I would be adding them together.
