A Roomful Of Dots

Us S.F and K.T did a roomful of dots. We had to figure out how many sheets of paper with 2,000 dots on it would take to fill our whole classroom, and how much it would weigh. First we did an estimate to guess how many dots would fill our classroom, and we guessed more than a billion. Then for the weight of the paper we guessed between 500,000 pounds and a million pounds. Next we had to figure out the real answer, for the dots. Next we measured the length and the with of our classroom, we came up with 10 by 9. Then we had to figure out how many reams will cover the classroom floor, we came up with 1,247.5 reams to cover the floor. Then we measured from floor to ceiling, and we got 55.5 reams. Next we multiplied 55.5 *500 cause, there are 500 sheets in one ream and we got 34,618,000. Then we multiplied it by 2,000 because they're 2,000 dots per sheet, then we got 69,236,000,000. Then we had to find the exact answer for weight. we did 4*69,236 because 1 ream = 4 pounds and we got 276,944. That how we did a roomful of dots.

KT's great Fall Break

November 5,2009

Dear Class,

I am wondering how your fall break went. But,first I am going to tell you about mine.I had a wonderful fall break. I had a sleepover with Drew. We watched Journey to the center of the Earth and,booed Mr.Lewis. We also made some cool Halloween treats. I carved a bat with the word party over it in to a big orange pumpkin. I went to a costume party. And last I dressed up in my costume and went out to get some candy. I hope you had a great Fall Break too.

The Kings Chessboard

My portfolio product is called The Kings Chessboard.We read the book , and answerd some questions.In the book a king gave a wise man rice every day but,the rice DOUBLED every day.
The king STOPED giving the wise man rice in the middle of the chessboard.Our job was to see rice there would be at the end of the chessboard.

The kind of math i learned was doubling.

I am happy with my final product,and i liked the way i did it.

Something Upstairs prediction

Here are some of my predictions for Somthing Upstairs.

I think there is going to be a ghost in the attic.Also,i think the ghost wants something from the attic.The ghost probably died in the house.And last i think that it would be the ghost of the guy that lived there in like 1798.

Martian Math

My portfolio product is Martion Math.I had to give each shape a number , and see if it worked with the problems above.The activity was logic and advanced computation.I am happy with my work

and next time i will use the number tiles. KT
