Picture messages and meanings

A Book has deeper meaning than a film.The picture represents this because the iceberg is deeper underneath and shallower above. In a book the author can explain all the characters feelings and thoughts, but in the film they can only try and show you. So a book has more meaning than a film.

Homework wk5 - Box Method

This is a diagram to explain the box method and estimate of the sum
0.84 x 0.34

Firstly you do an estimate

0.84 x 0.34 round it off to the nearest ten like so
0.80 x 0.30
then you go 8 x 3 = 24 then add the 0's and decimal point
2.400 this is your estimate

Now to show you the correct answer by using the box method

0.84 x 0.34
Draw the box like the diagram shown
take out the decimal point
then put the numbers around top and left sides
in place value

multiply them as shown by the diagram

then add all the numbers inside the boxes together
adding the decimal point back in for the answer

                                                                     2400
