Pseudoscience Poster

WALT: - Write a story from a character                                                                                   












For a while now... Room 1 literacy and I are learning about what Pseudoscience is and how it effects people. Pseudoscience means "Fake science" and advertisers use pseudoscience to trick people into their product. Read carefully and understand how pseudoscience affects                people including you.

How to solve a algebra equation

   Simplifying
                             x + -6= 9

                      Reorder the terms:
                            -6 + x = 9

                              Solving
                             -6 + x = 9

                      Solving for variable 'x'.

 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 
              Add '6' to each side of the equation.
                          -6 + 6 + x = 9 + 6

                  Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
                         0 + x = 9 + 6
                           x = 9 + 6

                 Combine like terms: 9 + 6 = 15
                                x = 15

                             Simplifying
                                 x = 15

  

                  Answer would be: x - 6 = 9

Understanding improper and mixed fractions

WALT: understand improper and mixed fractions.

Pentagons maths group and I have been trying to understand improper and mixed fractions. We had to highlight the best answer. As part of Mrs Nua  and Mrs Ilaoa maths group, we k now that we have to read all answers if it is a option one. Why? because if you pick the first answer you see then it could be wrong, that's why it's has optional answers.
