Science

For science we have been writing a story on how it would be like to live on Mars.

Fractions

For math this week we have been doing fractions converting decimals into fractions and we have been doing changing to improper fractions. Improper fraction is when there's the nominate bigger than the denominator. This is how you do it if yo have 4 3/6 you do 4 x 6 = 24 + 3 = 27  so the improper fractions is 27/6. This is how you change a decimal into a fraction  so I have 0.054 you look at how many number are they ones, tens, hundreds and thousands so it is 54/1000. I am confident converting a decimal into a fraction.
