Enlargement

This afternoon my class and I were working on a enlargement which was a image that we chose. First we had to choose an image that is simple to insert it into a grid so it can help us when we did it on the asphalt outside. Next we had to go outside and draw the grid accurately and the draw the picture we chose and figure out the scale factor. Enlarging the picture outside was very easy, but the drawing the picture was very difficult. In my enlargement each square metre was 1 cm equals 30 cm which made my enlargement quite larger than others. I learnt a lot doing this new topic, I learnt how to count the squares and draw. I also learnt how to measure accurately.

It swallowed the surface. It looked so strange because it was creating mountains. It sounded like my air conditioner in my car but much louder. The snow was clashing against the buildings, it felt like it had a mind of it’s own because it was setting alarms off. The wind so powerful it made me feel like I was sky diving vertically. I can taste sugar sized snow. I can smell smoke from the local houses because of the weather. The wind nearly tearing my clothes off.

Temperature - Positive and Negative

Today my group and I were learning about temperature using a thermometer. We used only to operations which were addition and subtraction. Learning about temperature was a new experience for me and I would like to use it in my maths sometime. I also would like to learn something new using a thermometer.
