I like math, sort of. And recently Mrs.Gibson, my math teacher, got laptops that were in the third grade. They had tried them out in some other portable classes and we were the only one that the laptops actually worked in! So we went on this website called Oswego. The games are math games. One of them I absolutely love. It is called Power Lines. You have to start at phase one. Here is what you do.
There is a shape made of circles and the ones that are connected have to equal a certain number. Say you have a capital H for your shape. And your number was 13. So you would organize the numbers so that all the circles connected equaled 13. It is actually pretty hard. In phase one there is 8 levels after you finish those you get a password. When you click on phase two, you have to enter that password to play. When you finish phase 2 you get another password. Then you go to phase three. There is only one level on it but it is extremely hard. When I finally finished it, I was so excited. Because you are done with all the power lines!
Now that I have finished I can not wait to tell Mrs.Gibson. I am so excited!

School is cool and I know a thing in math that I like. It is when you have a grid. You use coordinates to make a picture. Like if your coordinate is 9, 3 you would go over nine and up 3. I it was -3, -4 you would go over 3 on the left side in quadrant 3 and down 4 in quadrant 3. If you have know clue what I am talking about, here is more information.
Ok. There is a grid with four quadrants. And a line going side to side and top to bottom. The one that is going side ways is labeled x. The one going up is labeled y. And the side ways line has two sides and the one on the left side is negative or minus. The one going up has two sides and the one going down is negative. And the line up and the line right are positive. And you always go over then up or down. And the top right one is quadrant one witch is positive, positive. The top left is quadrant 2 and it is negative, positive. The bottom right is quadrant three and is positive, negative. And the bottom left is quadrant 4 and is negative, negative. So if I had a problem that was -7, 8 I would go left to the number -7 in quadrant two and up 8 in quadrant 2.
I think this is fun because you can make pictures. I recently did on which was a cute dog! Please your comments! 
Do you have or have you had a good math and science teacher? Well I do. Her name is Mrs.Gibson. She is a cool math teacher for many reasons. First, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we do something called math 24. You have to use math to equal 24 with the numbers given. It is kind of fun.
Second, on Fridays, Mr. Ed comes to her class. He is the adopted grandfather for our school. He tries to trick us with riddles and things like that. Then we play 20 questions. He has an event, person, place, or thing and we have 20 questions to guess it. But at first you cannot be specific ( unless you are positive of what it is ). Then he reads to us.
Third, also on Fridays we read the Time For Kids magazine. After we read it we start on the work sheet. If you do not Read the rest of this entry »
