SO FUNNY!

SO FUNNY!

Every kid should NOT get a trophy because for some kids all you have to say to encourage them is “Good throw” and “Nice job”. Also, If YOU’RE the hard worker and everyone else on your team is silly, would you be happy when you get the same trophy as the kid on you’re team who didn’t do any kind of benefit at all for your team? Another crucial detail is if you’re the winner of like 5 teams and everyone, even last place, got the same trophy as you. would that make YOU happy? Also, if all of the kids on a team get trophies, wouldn’t that be expensive for the company, and taking up space for the kids who get them? What do YOU think? Post your opinion in the comments. SHOULD every kid get a trophy???

This year in fourth grade, Ive learned A LOT. The first math term I know that I never knew before is grid multiplication. Grid multiplication is a longer, but easier method for two-digit multiplication. first make a 3×3 grid on your paper. Then, put an X in the top left corner. You’re now done with the grid! Now find a problem to work out. let’s use 11 x 11. Of course most people already know the answer to this problem, but let’s just use it as an example. Now, expand the two numbers. Put the ten on the right of the x and the other below the x. Now, do the same thing with the ones, except with the ten it goes with. Here’s the fun part! Now it’s a coordinate game! Find the numbers that line up, and then put the answers in the square it lines up with. Now, add up all of the squares to get your answer! The second math term I learned is improper fractions. Improper fractions are when the bigger number is on top instead of the bottom. Basically, it’s an all fraction version of a mixed number, like 1 1/2. That would be equal to the improper fraction of 3/2. So, in words that is three halves! Interesting, right? Anyway, the third math term I learned are angles. Angles are… well… They’re kinda like the hands of a clock. When one hand is pointed directly on the 9  and the other hand is pointed directly on the 12, that is a right angle. A right angle is EXACTLY 90 degrees. When one is pointed at the 9 and the other is between (but not exactly on) 12 & 3 then it is an obtuse angle. An obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. If one hand is between (but not exactly on) 9 & 12, then it is an acute angle. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees and more than 0 degrees. If the angle is completely straight, it is a straight angle. A straight angle is EXACTLY180 degrees. The next-to-last term I learned are mixed numbers. Mixed numbers are when a regular number is paired up with a fraction. There’s not much left to explain… all I have to show is my example, which is 4 3/4.

Dense Blazing Star

           My wildflower name is the Dense Blazing Star. Its sientific classification is Asteraceae, and its scientific name is Liatris Spicata. The Dense Blazing Star is native in New Jersey, Michigan, and Illinois. It’s also south to Florida and Louisiana. The bloom color of my wildflower is purple, and it blooms in July, August, and September. Its natural habitat has to be in moist wood openings, by mesic praries and marsh edges. This flower attracts butterflies, and hummingbirds seem to like this flower also. This flower is also very important to Bumble Bees.
