Tuesday Workout

I did the Tusday workout. The workouts were Wall Sits, Squats, and Burpees.

The first workout I did was wall sits. Wall sits is pretending to sit on a chair but using the wall. 

The next workout I did was burpees. Burpees is doing a pressup and jumping up. 

The last workout I did was squats. Squats bending down like your sitting on the toliet and your heels never come up. 

These workouts were easy because I did stretches duuring each break to keep buff. 

Team Problem Solving

My team and I solved a problem. We solved the problem in three stratgies. The stratagies were pllace value, written algoritim, and Rounding and compensating. 

The problem was, A farm received a total of 119 millimetres of rain over a 2 month period. If 48 millimetres of rain fell on the farm in June, how many millimetres of rain fell on the farm in month 2?

The first stratagy we used was place value.

119 - 48 = ??

Ones - 9 - 8 = 1

Tens - 10 - 40 is not possible so we have to add the hundred to the ten.

110 - 40 = 70.
The last step is to combine the answers. 70 + 1 = 71, 71 millimetres fell on the farm on the second month.

This stratagy can help with solving equations faster.
