Math Overview

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm going to tell you why I love Khan Academy!


To beging with, I started Khan Academy about 2 years ago ( 2011) and so I've been on the site practicing and learning math for a long time! What I love about this site is that you get achievements when you put effort in your work. There are currently 6 kinds of achievements: Meteorite (common) badges, Moon badges (uncommon), Earth badges (rare), Sun badges (epic), Black Hole badges (legendary), and Challenge Patches.

What I also love about Khan Academy is that since Salman Khan (the Owner of Khan Academy) is a genius, Khan Academy has every math and science subject like Trigonometry, Biology, Geometry, Arithmetic, Astronomy etc.

Here's a little screenshot of my profile page. Where I can review my progress and check out my badges.



Here's another screenshot, but of the "Knowledge Map". This is the page were you can select new exercise or practice old ones. This is also were you are going to on be the most.


I also have other math ressources Like Timez Attack and some Ipad apps.



Hope you liked this overview!

Bye!

Measuring Area

Today we worked on an amazing projet. 
Basically, we measured the floor of the first floor of our house. We wanted to know how much flooring     we need so that we buy enough and also so that we don't buy too much.

 So here's what we did: first, we measured the length and the width of our rooms.

Then, we multiplied the width and the length to get the area of each room.

Next, we added them together. Our floor was equal to 707 square ft. 

Now, we will need to calculate how much the new flooring will cost. 


I might make a model in minecraft and I will post it on my blog.
