Term 3 driving question!

Hi again and welcome to term three. This term our PBL driving question is 'What will the Future Ask of Us?' Throughout the first two days of term, we have been learning about robots and what the future holds for us. We watched a video of a robot called Sophia singing with Jimmy Fallon. They sang 'Say Something' by A Great big World. Here is a link to the video. Sophia the Robot and Jimmy Fallon.

We also learnt about the biggest world problems today. We had to write down what we think the 5 biggest world problems are in a group. My group said: Global Warming, Poverty, Discrimination, War and Terrorism. We also watched a video on what the top world problems today are. Then we all shared back our answers and a few other people wrote stuff like: Over populating, Mental health and Unnecessary drugs / addictions.

What do you think today's biggest world problems are? Tell me in the comments. See ya.

Week 4 Problem Solving task!

Hello and welcome back to my blog. In week 4 our maths was to answer the problem solving questions and we got to pick which question to do. Related imageMost of the questions were based around tennis and how much each person got paid. The first question was: In the longest game of tennis 154 games were played. If the match went for 14 hours in total how many games were played on average per hour? The answer is 11 because 154 divided by 14 equals 11.
