Algebra helps us to read the whole equation by assigning letters to the unknown!

When you’re trying to solve word questions, (for example: During the weekends Sam played 4 more games than Alex did, and together they played 12 games. How many games did Alex play?), you can turn it into algebra then use algebra to solve it. Algebra helps you to read the whole equation first, assign letters for the values and work out formulas.

Sam has 2 books less than Alex. We can write the equation like this:
S=number of books Sam has
A=number of books Alex has
The equation could either be like this- s-2=a, s=a-2 or s=2-a. The answer is s=a-2 because Sam has 2 books less than Alex.

Hamilton is a great place to go!

On a sunny Saturday morning, my family and I went to Hamilton to pick up the tools that my dad had purchased from Trademe to use for his work.

First, we got dressed and had some breakfast. We ate  some rice pudding and some buttered toast. The rice pudding was what I enjoyed the most, because it was nice and warm. It took us a very long time to get ready because we had to change our clothes as my mum didn’t think they would be warm enough. After a while, we were finally in the car ready to head to Hamilton.

After we arrived in Hamilton, we had a long, boring drive around Hamilton because my dad wanted us to have a look around the shops to see if we can find anything interesting. Soon we all felt hungry and our stomachs began to rumble so we decided to go to McDonald’s for some food. Charlize and I had mcflurries, she had M&M Mcflurry and I had cookies and cream Mcflurry. My grandmother had a double fish burger and a Big Mac. Tyrah and my dad had a soft serve each and and we all shared a packet of 20 chicken nuggets and four large fries.

After that, my dad drove us to our destination. My dad went inside a house and told us to wait in the car. While we were waiting, my mum, Tyrah and I played the ‘I spy’ game. It wasn’t long before my dad came back, and he was holding a black case. He told us that there were tools in it. After my dad carefully put the tool box in the boot of the car, we drove back home. My sisters and I thanked my parents for taking us to Hamilton and buying food for us to eat.

The part that I enjoyed the most about going to Hamilton was seeing the hotel which I lived when I was young. I also really loved the Mcflurry that I had, because it was my favourite flavour. I hope I can go to Hamilton again soon!

Mother’s day was a very busy event for my family!

During the weekend, my family and I celebrated Mother’s day.

First, my older sister and I woke up early to go and buy some breakfast from Mcdonald’s, flowers and cards for my grandma. We bought the flowers from Pak’n Save and the flowers were really colourful, and my mum thought it would look nice in my grandma’s house. She showed it to me and asked me if it looked good. I thought it looked good because on the petals were my favourite colours: purple, pink, blue and green.

Next, my mum drove to my grandma’s house to give  give her the gifts that we have bought for her. My grandma was surprised to see us at the door, because she wasn’t expecting us. My sister and I said Happy Mother’s day to her and gave her a hug. Then she told us to come in and she handed me seven cans of corn beef in a plastic bag. After my sister and I thanked her, we drove back to my house.

When we got there, my sister and I raced into the house to see if the breakfast for my mum is ready. Unfortunately, it wasn’t ready, but we still had just enough time to get it ready. Soon it was finished. The final step was placing our card on the tray where my mum’s breakfast was. When I gave it to her, she asked us to sing a song. We sang Happy Mother’s Day, which was similar to Happy Birthday, but in different we just replaced the word ‘birthday’ with ‘mother’.

Later on, we put on a movie on the television. The movie was called Megamind. It was funny and Hilarious!

Some parts made me laugh but some parts made confused me  . It was a movie that my  family and I haven't watched for a long time, so I thought it was a good idea to watch it.

First, we dressed ourselves in some warm and cosy clothes and, then we had some breakfast We had some toast and eggs. Straight after that, we hopped in the car and drove to Glenfield Mall. It was a very long drive, so my sisters and I played games like Sandwich and I Spy.

Before we knew it, my dad parked the car and we went inside the lower case. We saw a lot of shops and a lot of people. It was crowded, most of the people were in the cafes so they could talk to their  friends or relatives.

Then Tyrah and I noticed a skating rink. We were very excited because we haven't skated for a while. We asked our parents if we could go, but my dad said we had to buy some socks for me because I wasn’t wearing any.

After that, my dad paid the man who was in charge of the skating rink, it was ten dollars for each of us .Then the man asked us the sizes of our shoe. My dad told him and he gave us a pair of skates that were the right size for us. He put my shoes aside while I was putting on my pair of skates.

It was fun skating around the rink. We were going up, down and around. I was getting dizzy so I stopped and took off my skates.

Later on, we sat at a table. We were starving so we ordered chips and burgers from McDonald's. It was a very long queue, so  we sat down and waited table. Then, me and my sister and I gobbled down our food very quickly because it was really appetising. I was full from eating too much chips!

What I really liked about the mall is that there was a skating rink because most malls don’t have them. The part I liked about going to Glenfield Mall was when we ate at McDonald's. I loved eating the chips! I hope I can go there again soon.
