We Need Mouthguards when Playing Sports

Walt: Write a persuasive speech.

A mouthguard is a smooth plastic or a laminated device that is mostly used in sports to protect your mouth from any oral injuries. The Dental Association has found that one third of all dental injuries are sport related. Mouth Guards are mandatory to rugby , football , hockey , boxing and also soft ball.

Mouth Guards help prevent brain damage. If you don’t have a mouth guard then when you get hit with a loose jaw then that will cause a knockout. Then your jaw will slam into your skull causing your brain to bounce around inside. That will make you lose your consciousness. Having a brain damage is not that fun because you will get hurt and you will not be able to do the fun stuff.

Mouth guards are not that expensive they are usually about $5-15 dollars depending on which shop you buy it from. Mouth guards can be a little uncomfortable but having oral injuries can be awfully uncomfortable plus it will cost you thousands of dollars and no matter how hard you don’t want to wear a mouth guard you will have to wear it otherwise fear the risk of danger.

Mouth guards are sold at shops but should also be included in children’s school list. If your mouthguard is too big or too small for you all you need to do is reshape it with a blowdryer or put the mouthguard inside hot water and once you take it out you can reshape.

This clearly shows that mouthguards are really helpful when it comes to sports. Mouth guards are actually useful for sports too.

Multiples of 2

Crazy Taxi

Walt : Revise Multiplication.

I am learning to revise my multiplication. All you have to do to play this game is to crash the car that multiplied by 2 or any number that they give you. You will also get a bonus track when there is no timer and you can’t crash the cars. This was easy because I knew my but difficult at the same time because it gets faster once you beat all the levels. Next time I want to learn about geometry.

Double Bar Graph Survey

Walt : Plan an investigation and display data.

My graph is about class jobs. My question is “Which class job do you prefer ?” Most of the boys and girls chose netbooks. I think they chose netbooks because getting netbooks and handing it out is fun to do. The girls and boys didn’t choose student editor . I think they didn’t choose student editor because being a student editor is really hard to do because a good level of English is required. I chose class jobs because I like to help my teacher if she needs help. I surveyed the senior/ middle children. The survey was really easy . I would like to do another survey about lollies.

Art

I am learning about Georgia O' Keeffe. We were learning about warm and cool colours. I chose cool colours because cool colours suited my art . The warm colours are red , yellow and orange. The  cool colours are violet , blue and green. The warm colours suited the flowers and leaves the best. Georgia likes to draw abstract flowers. I got really inspired by her art because I have never done abstract flowers before.

Median and Mean

I am learning to find the median and the mean . This is how you have to play it. They tell you put it in order from biggest to smallest and the numbers are in percentages. You have to find out the median and the median is in the middle so then you have to add 59 and 51. Then you have to divide it by 2.  My answer was 55. To find the mean you have to add all of the numbers then divide it by 10. My answer was 47.1 .This game was hard because you to add all the numbers and divide them after. I want to learn about LCM and HCF next.
