maths is great - afterall, we like shopping don't we? and working out how much pizza we can all have? and getting to the movies on time? - all using maths.
maths can also be magic - in fact, we can use mathematical language to describe almost anything in the universe. on a simple level, we can investigate the magic numbers appear to have.
have you ever investigated magic squares?

ohhhh!
cool!
ms lennox said something about this maths thing you had on your timetable that we had no idea what it was!
sounds cool!
I have a headache but at the thought of you and not a reliever it lifts slightly.
I like the mummy idea too!
That would be really edcational!
The picture below is gross!
Yes, she did! and it sounds great! isn't weird how nearly everything is based on maths?!
i think it would cool to see more people on the blog, THE MORE THE MERRIER, hehe. i know that some people havent been on for ages and are missing out on a lot!
Yes WE NEED MORE BLOGGERS!!!
There is only the little 'circle' on here!
The problem at school though is that the computers don't let you comment or create a new blog.
more bloggers....
i don't like maths
Oh dear. I haven't commented in ages. I hardly comment because i've got nothing to say.
fair enough alpha, its your opinion...
i was just thinking about in library today, when we were talking about famous NZers, that i think that it is really sad how people abuse great things and achievements eg,
Ernest Rutherford split the Atom (good...)
then people made those bombs...(ok...)
now people use bombs for killing and hurting eachother (mostly in war) which dosnt solve any problems whatsoever.... (NOT GOOD)
i bet when Ernest split the Atom, he didnt do it expecting this....
people should apreciate and USE NOT ABUSE!! hehe
........this is a bit random and i little topic.......random tangent.....sorry...... :)
this link is the aftermath of the atomic bomb strike on Hiroshima, Japan, August 1945.
http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=91847&rendTypeId=4
and also, RESPONSIBLITY!!!! i was also thinking about the 3 minutes silence, and think that maybe if everyone took responsibilty for there actions, maybe there would not be war, killing, and all of the other discusting crimes-things that people commit.
p.s. this is a link to an article about the 3 minutes silence.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/4157460a11.html
p.p.s. dont let this get you down, it is horrible, and we cant do a lot but if take responsibility for ourselves, then, well, its a start!
SMILE!!!
yah! can we have a poetry comp?
Room5ian how CAN you type so fast?
.....hehe
that would be cool miss candy!
p.s. what are we going to do with our narrative poems...?
great to see more people on the blog, well done, keep it up!
if people told little kiddies that maths WAS actually a form of magic, maybe they woulld be interested in doing it...
weird.
pim:P
p.s.
magic squares are fun, but really challenging (did i spell that right?)
I feel so sorry for the children/babies that get abused how could you do that to a mini you =(
p.s Albert Einstein got accused for inventing the nuclear bomb but all he wanted to do was make the normal jobs easier !!!
There is so many good links on this post, so many to look at.
room5ian - your post about ernest rutherford is top shelf! thats what i'm after - truly GATE material.
narrative poems adn stories must be marked and displayed and celebrated as you have done soooo well.
we must also make our ancient egypt display.
both should be done this week.
find out where we can get cheap fresh chickens
ice point smiley and prim!
btw - how naughty were those boys today in the 3 mins silence who started the fake coughing thing?
http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/egypt/games/index.htm
thats a link for a poetry competition i found whilst muking around
p.s. i am a room5ian and im a girl
wo - good work maniac me - who are you. give us more clues...
the link looks like a link to a history page about egypt - i shall have to investigate further...
8>)
It was really upsetting how some people abused that three minutes!
I thought it was really meaningfull...AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN used as a joke.
People were fake coughing, laughing, talking, scratching the ground and so much more.
AND everyone talked on the way out!

(Environmental Info)
It should be up soon.
ALso think about the meat you buy.
I found this very interesting website about the pyramids. www.outerworlds.com/likeness/aliens/aliens.html
excellent poiunts kittykat - those people were very immature and insensitve. good that room5ians weren't - or were some? if so, let me know who please.
great resource links.
fair comment regarding thinking about what you eat - it could also include what you buy as products - fair trade? animal testing? environmental issues? and more....
good work paper scissors on finding something valubale to share
8>)
please excuse my typo - and mr paper scissors - VERY interesting site!
perhaps your assignment could be to propose all the evidence for the case that aliens intervened in the construction of pyramids around the globe....
Yes that would be interesting!!!!!
I think we should have a 'blitz' day where in a couple of weeks we do some HUGE PLANNING and a HUGE CREATION DAY!!Where everything gets done.
Enough from me..I'm going to bed for an early night.
Just posted my post on the Moon landing.
Booya!!! I have just updated the random evolving story (by the room5ians).
YES! i think it would be cool to have a whole day to just to our egypt study. -great idea kitty kat!!!
once again, responsibility!!!! it was extremely insensitive and i think respect also comes into it, it was very disapointing (the bad stuff was)
welcome to the blog maniac me! it is great to see more users and happt blogging everyone!
and back to the ernest thing, it is very disapointing how people accuse others of things, when it is not there fault eg;
i dont think ernest split the atom for destructive reasons (which could be acused )
'maniac me' is monica!!! Wow who knew i'ld me first to get it! welcome back maniac!
did you room5ians know that they found neptune by math! wow!,LOL! when you think of it that way it is kinda getting more magical!
Wow!! i suppose they found lots of them by math because telescopes etc involve reflection, angles, etc! yay!
WOW yeah that is cool!
Maths really is very cleaver!
Welcome Maniac Me!
Happy Blogging!
Hey guys its Mr Cooper. I dont have anything about maths but check out my blog and you should find some interesting stuff about report writing.
Thats if i did it right...
i went on some of the maths sites and the maths were quite easy and i found a good site called
http://www.mathmastery.com/cyberchallenge/index.cfm?CFID=6407&CFTOKEN=23909467
ps who is ernest rutherford
did you have a blog before or after you came to our class???
We must have an influence on student teachers to start blogging. Both the student teachers we have had have started blogging once they have come into our class.
hey if you want to test your brains lots there is the hardest riddle ever.
http://www.deathball.net/notpron/
ps i got to lvl 6!!
I have a new blog....
Welcome to our absolutely spectacular, famous blog Mr Cooper!!!

YAY!!!

Yes we always go off topic.
Visit this site for sudokus:
http://www.sudoku.com/
And for information on Sudoku visit here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku
I think they are brilliant way to learn maths and logic!!
Cool kitty kat....does anyone get the "stitch"? see my blog for details...
Hi room5ians...I'm sick so not at school today but i'm wondering...Did we do literacy circles today?
If we did could someone in the S group tell me if you read chapter 2 of the war of the worlds?
If you did can you tell me as i will read it over the weekend.
Kit de (sick) Kat
Maths suck.....
Far off in the distant horizon, a pure song came forth. Joined by it's family, it's bone kin, a heartbreaking melody rose up with the sun............
kitty kat! as far as i know we didnt read chapter two, i left half way through for my inquiry project, but i know that we worte and discussed a sumary of the chapter and the mood .
Alpha! that is beautiful! is it on your blog?
Maths is not my favourite subject but in my opinion it is not that bad, it helps us get through, understand, and discover/ learn things everyday!
See this website for stuff about the japanese kakuro, the tougher brother to sudoku:
http://www.kakuro.info/
It's on my blog snow....
yay a new blog
83l
Ok room5ian.
ok 83
it is like what room5ian said we are not on second chapter we just discussed number 1
oops i forgot to ask
how do we get to sci-fair????
do we take our boards or school?????
When is science fair?
26th of august or something...SB I don't know about yo but my board IS at school!
It has been for ages........
** SCI-FAIR**
Thursday 23rd
starts 23 of august (thurday morning interveiws) its not this thursday but next thursday morning we get interveiwed and then they judge
Friday 24th
24 of august (friday (all day) results/PRIZGIVING!!!!!)
yeah my boards at school but...
do we take them to the venue or does school????
and do we take ourselves or school??????
where is the venue??????
out of 58 comments 25 are kitty kats and im a room5ians!!!!!!!!
about that 3 minutes silence thing i heard a really good point about it:
that 3 year old died because people were silent about her being abused...
how would being silent in her rememberance help?????
thi9s is something that was thought provoking for me and i just thought you should hear it to
hmm...yes thatpoor girl.
I just think that the three minutes were showing her respect.
Ok.
24th of August got it!
school takes them there and the venue is the Hamilton gardens.
All this is in your NCAS thingymicjiggy I think....
thanks for the information about science fair skipper bob and kitty kat! ill keep it in mind.
that is a really good point skipper bob and i think maybe it was to think about it all, etc. i think people who know about it not saying anything about it is just as bad as the people who actually abuse.....mmmm...,. it is so sad......
hmmm yes...83l
SCUM they are SCUM!
skipper bob - that is a very insightful thought.
and yes, kitty kat - they are.
i wodner how someone gets to a stage in their life when they could do such things. i imagine drugs an alcohol were involved.
hmmm...............
It would be really strange to think like that!
I wonder what they were like as kids and whether they had a difficult life.
Quite possible.
Yeah its just my puppy got to the NCAS thing and it is no longer readable
then i lost it
maybe they got abused as kids to and its all a huge circle
i dont tthink there is any excuse for what they have done. they shouldnt have really been under the inluence of alcolhol and drugs in the first place. it is just discusting fullstop and i dont know how anyone could live with the thought of what they have done.
eewwww! its just pathetic.
i just dont know ANYONE!!!! could live with the thought of what they have done....or even have thougth.;...i dont know.....mmmm...
hmmmm...poor you SB!
IT IS SOOOOO PATHETIC!
HONESTLY!!!!
!!!!
My friend aivilO is biting me!
SO it is hard to write.
Drop back later.
Your friend is biting you?????
not really poor
Not really biting...HORSEY biting (a kind of tickling!)
My cats are very distructive.
One of them dribbles on things (MY PILLOW!!)
And the other attacks people (AT 4 IN THE MORNING!)
Sigh...animals eh!
Has anyone else noticed our clustr map growing/
I also have clustr maps onlots of my blogs.
We should study moon landings (my enviro info blog has info on a moon landing.)
i got woken up extremely early this morning....mmm....yawn...... oh well, hes still my cat! hehe
hehehe!
I was greeted by a rather 'kittenish' tackle this morning!
whatnow(a kids t.v progam) is holding a class room competition.
we have to write a srcipt of why our school is the bomb. if we win we will recieve a video cam for a week to film the script. we then send it into them where it will be played in front of the nation making us famous! (which we already are of course!)
so is anyone interested?
it also relates to our photography assignment! mr woody what do you think?
this post has a lot of inrelevent comments by one asks us to be relevent, not naming anyone here, kitty kat! im of topic too so i guess your not the only one to blame!
is'nt the image below king tut? I saw that on a website saying it was!
math is really complacated. I know that you can use algebra to work out almost everything!
oh i was just wondering
(if you dont like things that are crazy please dont reead on!)
maybe magic squares could tell the future or with the right numbers bring you luck. who knows? probably albert einstin- but we dont know he knows for sure!
good bye for now!
Hey miss candy, that is a great idea!!! i like how you have related it to our photography assignment! we can seriously put our new skills to the test.....
Hurray for maths!!!!!!
wow! look at all the comments!! i love the way we go of on little blogging tangents!
wow!!!!!!!!!
80 soon to be 81
isn't that a record
mr woody, you need to put anouther post on here
also i've got 2 soon to be 3 extra blogs called i didnt know that...

other sisters blog
tata4now
Ms Candy!
I don't think that you really have any right to say that I go off topic.
I follow where others lead and tangents are great - everything (almost) to say about magic squaes have been said in the last 82!!!!!! Comments!
That is a brilliant idea though!
What do you think Mr Woody!?!?
Hey and also - Mr Woody do you get to choose the people who get to go on EOTC Animal Camp?
Ta
mmmmm....tangents are great!! i think we learn more and have more fun (sometimes) rather thatn completely sticking to topic. i dont think that the comments are "irrelivent" miss candy, i think they are irrelivent when they have no mojor purpose etc.
83 comments must be a record!!
84!!

We'll have a 150 comments on this post in no time, thats if eveybody pitchs in. I have a question for Kittykat and Room5ian, How do you come up with so many cool topics to comment about? They just seem so appropiate and they lead us all off onto tangents. What would we do without bloggerz. The only reason I don't post that much is because I don't have anyrhing to write about, even though I should have!!
still not as much as kitty kat
103 comments
Oh and I like the what now idea
