Kiwi Kids News

Today I was reading a story on kiwi kids new about spiders being able to hear us humans speaking or making any noise.
This is strange because spiders do not have ears.
scientists were doing studies on where the sound goes and they found the jumping spider has hairs on its back legs that pick up noise. 
The scientists did a distance check and clapped close to a jumping spider in the recording studio and then got further and further away until the scientist was out of the room which is 5 whole meters away from the spider and it still picked up the sound of the clap.

I found this article interesting because this discovery was found by accident! and the story hooked me into reading it. 

Maths Hub Reflection

today in maths hub i was focusing on turning a division problem into a multiplication problem and then working out the problem backwards. I found this task quite easy because i know multiplication and division. here is an example of my working

when your sharing into sets you can change your division problem into something like multiplication problem. (e.g 49 cans of fizzy drink have to go into 7 boxes that would be 7 divided by 49 equals what? you could change that by going 7 times what equals 49 the answer is 7 times 7 equals 49 so 49 cans of fizzy drink in 7 boxes would be 7 cans a box. so 49 divided by 7 equals 7
