Number Patterns and ES Captain Speeches

In Math we learned how two number patterns can be related.

For example, a car can travel around 100km/h.  Some trains travel at around 300km/h.  Imagine a car and a train travelling across the USA.  How far will each of them have travelled, in total, after each hour?

Hours          1h                 2h                   3h                  4h                 5h

Car         100km              200km             300km            400km         500km

Train        300km             600km             900km          1200km     1500km

What is the relationship between the figures for the car and the figures for the train?  See answer at bottom of today’s post.

We wrote our journals and went to the ES library.

In the afternoon our nominees for the ES Captain positions gave their speech.  Thank you Lily, Jun, Catherine and Kylie for having a go.  Students voted.  Teachers will vote tomorrow and I should have the results on Wednesday.  We will then choose HR and Library Officers.
