The box method for timestable

The box method for times table.

1) Draw up a outer grid.

2) Write the number on the side e.g (57 x 35) 50 and 7 on one side and 30 and 5 on the other.

3) 30 and 50 = 1500 then 30 and 7 = 210 then

5 an 50 = 250 after 5 and 7 = 35.

4) add them tougher like 1500 + 210 =1710

250 + 35 = 285 .

5) add 1710 + 285 = 1895 and that is your overall answer.

Sunday 25 August

Yesterday I played soccer against KatiKati Eagles. The score was 7-7. I played Goal keeper and half way though the second half I dived to stop the ball going into the goal. I stopped the ball but I also went start into the goal posed then I person got the bounce and kick it and I tried to stop it but I must of  poled a mussel or something because when I reached for it it rely hurt and I can't move it lots also I can't put lots of pressure on it because when I did my arm gave away.

2nd August 2013

For my home work challenge it says I need to learn an instrument.
For the last 2 years I've been learning the Guitar. I can play 11-15 songs.
The 2 songs I'm working on at the moment are More Then A Feeling
and Sweet Home Alabama.
I really like the Guitar because it's fun but Mum always tells me I need to
practice and it sometimes annoys me.  :)
