Week 2, Day 1, Activity 2

Hi!

I know it has been 2 weeks but I have been busy. But here is a blog post.
In case you still don't know what the Summer Learning Journey is here is an explanation. The SLJ is a learning thing that helps you in the holidays to prevent the summer slide. The summer slide is something that means we lose lots of our learning in the holidays when we can prevent most of that by doing 3 blog posts a day for 4 weeks not including weekends. That means there are 60 blog posts that we can do to help us. Best of all this is a competition so each blog has a certain amount of points. So at the end of the holidays our points are added up and we get prizes.

Here is what I have to do today.

For this activity, we would like you to calculate Jessa’s age when she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award. She was born on 7 April 1985 and she received the award on 9 July 2010. Please provide the answer to this question in years, months and days (eg. 20 years, 6 months and 2 days).
On your blog, please post both your final answer and an explanation of how you solved this maths problem. You could write your explanation, or use screencastify to record yourself explaining how you solved it.

Now here is my work.


That was my work.
I hope I am correct.
I just didn't remember if for the months if it would
be 2 and if for the days it would be 1 but I think I did it right.
What is your answer?
Until next time...
Bye!

  1. Interesting blog. It's math in disguise!
    I'd have to get Simon to work that one out. We shall see if you are right. I am sure you will be :)

  2. Kia ora Abby,

    Congratulations on completing another post! And a fantastic post at that ! :) I really like the way you've chosen to present this activity - you've made it super easy to follow and understand by dividing the page into sections. And well done for getting the correct answer too! :)

    Do you like doing maths? You seem to be quite good at it.

    Have a lovely afternoon, Abby.

    Blog ya later!

  3. Hi Abby,

    It is great to see you have done a couple of the SLJ activities. This one looks like some Maths but related to something interesting. Math in real life ... amazing.

    I think your maths is correct and your explanation was easy to follow like Mikey said. I think Mrs Taylor would be proud of you.

    There is only a few days left of the SLJ. I wonder if you could get a couple more activities completed in the time left.

    Hope you are having a good break.
    :) Mrs Spragg

  4. Hello Abby, its me Parwin!

    Great to see that you have completed yet another SLJ activity! I like how you have made each part in a different coloured box and seperate from eachother.

    This reminds me of when I did this but my calculations would have been different because I did it a different time from when you did it, I think.

    I think that you did an awesome job and I can't think of anything for you to improve to on but if you have anything in mind that would make your blog post even better, then go for it!

    Awesome work!



    Looking forward to your next post,
    Parwin
