The area of first base is 144 inches. How long is one side of the base?

What I learned in Math this week…..

This week in Math I learned what rational irrational, integer, whole number, and not a real number means. Rational is a number that is a decimal that ends or repeats and irrational is a decimal  that never ends or never repeats.  An Integer is a number that has no decimal and they can be positive or negative.  A whole number is a number that is only positive and has no decimal.  Finally there are also numbers that are not real. These numbers are not possible and don’t exist.

What If Design Project

Our sixth grade class has been asked by the city of Zeeland to design a park on the corner of main street and elm street, which is now an eleven space parking lot. Before we began thinking of ides we went to Tiger Design studio and they just took us through some of the main things of designing and brainstorming. Then we came back and we did some research about some of the things that our clients Mr. Klunder and Mrs. DeRue want us to put in the park. For our research we looked up some things that we thought might be cool to have in a park. We looked up Water features, Green Space,All ages, Seating areas, and how might we include an old town look to the park to match downtown Zeeland. We talked about how any idea even if it is crazy that we might be able to work something out with it for our project even if it may be the craziest thing you have ever heard. This project could have many different interesting outcomes. Our group had some great ideas that will really help us design this new park.

Descriptive Paragraph

Our assignment was to describe a particular thing in our readers’ minds. How did I do?

        In a little room nestled away in a cage is a little chinchilla.With a bushy tail and sharp little teeth the chinchilla sits waiting, waiting hoping to get a good treat to eat such as a raisin or dried cherry. It sits on it hind legs waiting for his treat. You hold it out to him and he grabs it with his sharp little teeth and nibbles it slowly savoring his tasty treat then eagerly jumps up to see if he could get at least one more morsel. Give him one more he should be good at least for a while. If you leave him alone for a while he will start to get sleepy and slowly fall into a deep,deep slumber.
