Question of the night: In "One Grain of Rice", how many grains of rice did Rani have, in total, after 14 days? Is there a pattern that could help you?
Wow, another day full of learning and discovery. In the morning, we explored the recorder. I hear from Mrs. Dennill that we're really quite good. After recorders, we talked about our shadows findings from last week. We used our compass readings from last week to figure out which way the sun rises and how it "moves" in the sky. After our shadows talk, we changed gears and looked at sound pitch and vibrations using tuning forks. We explored the forks in water, then looked at how the vibrations connect with frequency and pitch. It was quite the morning! We continued to work on binary code this morning, as well. We used a different strategy of addition (expanded addition). Please talk to me about the specifics. In the afternoon, we had a handwriting challenge, then read the book "One Grain of Rice". It was interesting how the pattern in this book is very similar to the pattern from binary code. In fact, the growing pattern is exactly the same. I've attached the last page of the book below. Our challenge was to figure out how many grains of rice in total did Rani have at the end of 14 days? See if you can find the pattern. TGIF tomorrow. Please note that tax receipts for lunch supervision costs went home today. Please make sure you received your receipt. If not, please contact me or Mrs. Pulfer at the office. ____________________________________________________ Walking Wednesday Any students who walk, ride, bike to school on Wednesday will be entered for a prize. ____________________________________________________ Power Hour January 2017 Camel Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DYTPMD Lion Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DSBGDD ____________________________________________________ Reminders:

I learned how it works. The 8 bit code uses 0's & 1's

We discovered that the sub-total was always o e less than the next number we were adding so we went to day 14 and added 8191 + 8192 to get 16, 383. Comments are closed.
