Reading E-asttle

I received my results for my Reading E-asttle test and I got a 5p. I am really proud that I got that result and I want to try harder to try even get higher result. I do need to work on a lot of things to get a higher score.  

Apple Danish Braid

Last week Friday, we each created an item using 1/2 an apple, a ball of pastry, raisins and brown sugar. I created an apple danish braid and I really enjoyed making it. Everyone made different designs with their pastry.

Algebraic Expressions

Terminology:

Expression - Mathematical term for the whole problem(no equal sign)

Variable - Mathematical term for a letter(s)

Coefficient - Mathematical term for number before letter

Constant - Mathematical term for number on its own

When variables are the same, we call them like terms.

When adding like terms, keep variables/letters the same.

2a + 5a = 7a

4c + 5c = 9c

7p - 4p = 3p

Ab + 2ab = 3ab

2z + z = 3z

2a + 4c + 5c + 5a = 7a + 9c

4b + 3g + 2b + 6g = 6b + 9g

3f + 2g + 4f + 7g = 7f + 9g

2a + 3a2 + 4a =  3a2 + 6a

15bg - wrong way

Keep the variables separate if they are not the same.

If no number before letter than it always means 1

Today at Tamaki College, I learnt about Algebraic Expressions. Expression, Variable, Coefficient and Constant. We also had problems to solve and I got the last problem wrong. Though I got to learn it and I would like to try some more complex problems.
