Math Pototos

I have a riddle for you. It is called Cone Beds.It is from the book Math Potatoes. majestic pine trees touch the sky, raining cones from up high. A bed of needles make a nest, a soft and shady place to rest.  how many pine cones on the ground? It helps to first move some around. simply fill in every gap - add them up and take a nap. there are 9 lines of 7 in the end so, here you go. 7x9= y

 This brings me to my next thing.  First let's break this down.  9 can be broken don into 3 3s. and we should all know 3x7. It's 21. So then you would repeat this so you have three21s. And21x3=63.

 here is another one.  The Emperors' New Clothes. when it comes to formal wear, penguins are beyond compare. Dressed up in a little tux, they look like a million bucks. how many penguins do you see? Try to count elegantly. When you need to add in haste,equal groups are in good  taste.   there are 3 groups   of 12. so, 12x3= y


Okay, this is easy.  10x3= 30. and 2x3=6. And 30+6=36.     here is the more advanced thing. you have  groups or penguins. 1+11+3+9+5+7=36. 1+11=12. 3+9=12. And 5+7=12.  This is really what it is.

Flags

.

The world of flags is amazing. There are flags for everything. But I am going to talk about a flag from Europe, Asia, and north America. The welsh flag is from Europe. The Indian flag is from Asia. And, the flag of the U.S.A is from America. They may be from all around the world but they all have on thing in common. They stand for a great country.

                                               

The welsh  flag has three colors. They are white, green and red. White stands for peace. Green stands for love. Red stands for strength. The flag always had  the red dragon. But the white and green stripes were added later by the House of Tudor, A welsh  dynasty.








In India you can display the flag on any day. But there are some rules. But no need to get into that. But, A cool thing is that  the wheel in the center stands for this, Keep moving forward or you will perish.

  

The colors are orange,  white ,and  green.  Orange stands for strength. White stands for peace.  And green stands for growth.








 The American flag  has fifty stars that stand for the fifty states. It is about 200 years old.  The colors are red whit and blue. Red  stands for  hardiness and valor. White stands for purity and innocence. And blue stands for vigilance, perseverance and justice











 Those are the three flag I'm talking about today.  They all have strength as one of their things. They may not have the same color for the flags, though. They also all have white in the flag. But, for  two of them it is peace and for the other it is purity. They may be from all around the world but they all have on thing in common. They stand for a great country.

The Ants That Pushed the sky

I just read a Pueblo myth about a lot of things.  First of all His name  was Kahp-too-oo-yoo. He could control the clouds. So, he had the duty to make shure that there is rain in the village. He had a friend That was Not really  A Friend. But kahp couldn't Think of such a thing. One  day they  were out hunting and the friend didn't get any thing while kahp got a deer .

his friend Then challenged him to a game. But  because they didn't  have anything to play a game with they use a tree branch as a horse. First the Friend went and the kahp went. But what kahp didn't know was that his Friend was actually a witch and the branch was bewitched. This made the branch shoot up into the sky. And he was up there for many years until ants pushed the tree into the ground.

Kings love to brag. They always wanted to have the most of Everything. The most flags on their castle The most gold, And even the  most  horses. Who needs 50 horses!!! Like really people, you only need one horse. meanwhile, in the village,There are many hardships.


In a village  You could be a farmer a Shepperd or a baker. Well as a farmer you have bug to kill your crops. As a Shepperd you have wolfs to kill your herd .And as a baker you have hungry and ravenous people who want to kill you. And then there is the taxes. You pay  tons of money on taxes each week.

 The world is filled with many things during the midevil times. There is the Europeans, the Asians, and the south Americans.  Each one has it's different things. Europe has castles. Asia has Samaria. And South America has jungles.

aesop's fables

You know fables like the tortoise and the hare, The boy who cried wolf, and the goose thatlaid the golden eggs. Well there are many others. Such as The ants, The walnut tree, and The vain jackdaw.  Each have diffreant meanings. But,  there are some that share  the same meaning. Like the fisher man, and the dog in the manger. they both have the meaning live and let live.


This is one I like. It is called the mule.
 A mule  began one day to jump and run about, until she was completely convinced that she could out run any animal at any speed. "my mother was a race-horse,"  she thought "and I can run just as fast!" 
 but running had such an effect on her, that she became exhausted it was then she remembered the her father was a donkey.  The morel is there are two sides to a truth.

There are 118+ aesop's fables. Go out and explore them for yourself.

Staurt Little

So, Stuart Little is a boy of about two inches tall, and looks quite alot like  a mouse. He Lives in a house that looks normal, Just like every other one in New York City. He sleeps in a bed made out of an old cigarette box and four clothes pins.  His other family members (which are normal size )  Often ask for him to go in small places to get stuff.

Then, later he gets sick and has to stay in his bed for most of the time. And while he was recovering, a Bird named Margalo comes. And then Stuart Little's family's cat(which is named snowbell) tries to eat Margalo But Stuart saves her. Then the cat tells her Friend about Margalo, And then that cat wants to eat Margalo . Then Margalo fleas. Stuart worries about her and leaves to go find her. I find his travelses boreing, but He does meet a girl that is his size.

Frida Kahlo

     Frida was born  on  July 6,1907. She lived in the blue house. She was always a curious little girl. She often brought  stuff home  like frogs and rocks. She later went to National Preparatory School.  That was where she met Diego while he was working on a mural there. Then when she was only 18 she got in a horrible bus accident.

      Frida lived in San Angel with her husband Diego. They didn't have any children because of the bus accident.Because I think it messed up her pelvice. Diego  worked on murals all day, sometimes. And one thing that really messed Frida up was that she didn't get to paint alot. She actually got a divorce and then started painting tons. During this time she made alot of self portraits that shows she was hurt. Then several years later Diego remarried her.

      She made alot of cool paintings. She made one of her wedding day. She also did this weird one, It is called two fridas.  It shows her in a stylish white dress, and in a traditional  Mexican costume. Their hearts are on the outside of them, connected.
