ReplyDeleteLast week in math in Mrs. Potempas class room we learned long division the short way and long way. So if you need to you can use it during a big problem. And the short way I think is easiar to do but that is my opion. At first it was hard but nw it is not. Those are the things I learned last week.
ReplyDeleteMy eplorer is Vasco De Gama.I am also making a comic life on him. He was the first European ever to reach asia by sea. I think Vasco de gama is a intresting person to study because there are lots of intresting facts about him.
ReplyDeleteMy explorer is Francisco Pizzaro. We are making a comic life in class on our explorer. Pizzaro is famous for a pretty bad thing that thing is he destroyed the Inca empire. Also, when he was a teenager he joined the Army and hi first job was a swineherd which is raising pigs. That is why I chose him he is very interesting and different.
