Monday - Maths Variables What is a variable? A variable is a symbol for a number we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y.
Example: in x + 2 = 6, x is the variable. In this case, x would = 4 ·
Because 4 + 2 =6
Example 2: 4y= 16. What is y? Y = 4 ·
Because 4 (times 4)= 16
Example 3: 2x= 20. What is x? X= 10 ·
Because 2(times 10)= 20
Here are some more examples ·
5x=45 What is x?
x=9
·
3y=9 What is y? y=3
Because 3(times 3)= 9
Because 5(times 9)= 45

Tuesday Yesterday we read a story which was set in the famine times in Ireland. Here is more information: A famine is when there is a very severe shortage or lack of food for a large number of people.Ireland had its worst famine in 1845.One of the causes of the Great Irish Famine was a disease called blight which destroyed the potato crop. The potato was the only food available to the majority of the people in Ireland at the time.The poorer people grew potatoes on small plots of ground and had no money to buy any other foods.When the blight destroyed the potato crops every year from 1845, the people faced starvation and death.In 1846, the second crop of potatoes failed.The government set up some soup kitchens to give the starving people hot soup.By August 1847, about 3 million people were being fed each day. Workhouses were places where the very poor, known as paupers, could go to live.The main food they were given was called stirabout, which was similar to a weak oatmeal porridge. Families were split up once inside. Men, women, girls and boys were all forced to stay in different parts of the building.Many people in the workhouses died of diseases like typhus, cholera and dysentery. When tenants could not pay their rent, they were usually evicted.They were thrown out of their homes and left on the side of the road.Large numbers of Irish people emigrated to countries such as England, America, Canada and Australia because of the famine.People have estimated that about a million people died during the worst famine years between 1845 and 1849. ● About a million people emigrated to America , Canada , Australia or Britain . ● The Irish language began to die out because many of those who died or emigrated were from the western parts of Ireland and had spoken Irish as their first language.Many of these people did not speak or understand English.
Write a story about you and your family in famine times. Use the words in red in your story.
