my Math learning intention is converting ratios to percentages e.g 18 girls and 24 boys the fraction for girls is 18/42 when the boys are on 24/42 siplified of 6 which the girls is 3/7 when the boys is 4/7 the closest to 100 from 7 is 98 so the girls is 42/98 and the boys is 56/98 then add one to each of them and the girls percentage is 43% approximately and the boys is 57% approximately here is 5 things I would like to put on my page for my persuasive writing

this story I hope to get published in the 'xtra have a read. Planet Spot By Michael Chisholm Grants Braes School

A space shuttle called Mariner One needed to pass a test before it could be an official space shuttle. Its pilot Travis had ten hours to place two timed teleporters on two things on Planet Spot.

One of them is a citizen and the second thing is a piece of their surface (they already knew that Planet Spot’s surface was removable). After takeoff Travis had to land on Pluto to refuel. He could now travel all the way to Planet Spot.

When he was there he had a surprise waiting for him “Oh no! Black holes and the planet’s surrounded by them! The only way to get to Planet Spot is to swerve around them and nose dive onto Planet Spot!” said Travis. So Travis swerved around all the black holes but he ran out of fuel and crashed onto planet spot!

“Finally I got out of the shipwreck – woops I’ve left one of the timed teleporters onboard the ship”, said Travis. Then his ship disappeared. Travis looked down and said “five minutes! I better get moving”. So Travis hurried off into the first town he came to. It belonged to the President of Planet Spot and he said “we come in peace”, “Homina homina homina” thought Travis and said “I bring you no harm” “I know” said the President “you have two minutes and thirty seconds, what is that thing?” “No time to explain I’ve got to find a way out of here”.

After two minutes and 24 seconds of searching Travis said “I almost for … five seconds!” and he stuck the timed teleporter on his chest and he was back on earth telling his kids about his trip to Planet Spot. His kids thought it was a fairy tale but when Travis’s kids grow up they will have a test similar, but a different planet and the younger generations will hear about the same story. But they will never know it was true. TO BE CONTINUED …
