Kia Ora everyone, this is my mathventure!
If you are wondering what is a mathventure it’s where you read stories and the reader must solve math problems in order to progress through the adventure.
So, I decided to make my own!
Each section contains a math problem for you to solve.
Good luck!

200 Word Challenge
For this week’s 200 Word Challenge your job is to use a variety of sentence types in order to affect the pacing (how fast or slow the story moves).
Short, choppy sentences increase the pace.
Longer, more detailed sentences slow down the pace.
Using what you have learned about Ernest Shackleton, and his crew’s failed expedition to Antarctica write a recount of their dramatic journey.
Remember! This week we have been learning about chronological order. Make sure you get the sequence of events in the right order.
Begin your writing here: It all started in 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his crew went on a expedition to Antarctica, they set sail on a shipwreck called “The Endurance”. As they were aiming to reach Antarctica their ship became trapped in the Weddell Sea.
Unfortunately, in October 1915 they were forced to abandon their shipwreck and set up a camp on the ice. They embarked on a journey dragging their lifeboats across the ice. Months went by, and in April 1916 they reached Elephant Island, a remote place. Shackleton realized that they needed help, so he and a crew set out in James Caird, a lifeboat.
Navigating through stormy and icy conditions they had finally reached South Georgia Island in May 1916; however, their journey was not over yet. Shackleton and others had to rescue their stranded crewmates.
After a long 800-mile expedition Shackleton had successfully rescued all his crewmates from Elephant Island in August 1916. Luckily not a single life was lost, they did not reach their goal but at least they reached pretty far. When everyone heard about the story Ernest Shackleton immediately became a popular writer and speaker telling everyone his experiences. Their story of endurance, leadership, and survival has become legendary.

| Begin your writing here: Today I received a letter from the MHC (Mountain Heights Club). I read it and they wanted me to compete in their mountain climbing competition that they are hosting on thursday and it was tuesday so I had 2 days to practice. Obviously I wasn’t professional at climbing mountains and I didn’t have gear for it so I went to the mall first and got the gear. After practicing for the last 2 days the time has come.
I drove to the location that they told me to go to and felt anxious. Once I arrived at the place and I saw a guy waiting for me at the entrance. He helped me suit up and I got my gear ready. I saw multiple contestants at the entrance waiting to be called out. After we got called out we went to the beginning line and prepared. Once we were ready we saw this guy with a megaphone and he yelled “3,2,1 GOOO!” I ran as fast as I could and started climbing. As I was climbing I saw this photographer taking photos and videos of me. I finally reached the finish line and I won! The prize was 1K. |
Hi everyone, this is my work.

chronological order is the events that take place in the order that they happened.
hope you find this interesting.
200 Word Challenge
The 200 Word Challenge is an opportunity to practice writing using just the right words. 200 Words might sound like a lot, but once you get going you’ll find yourself crossing that line easily, so be careful to only say what you NEED to.
(This whole thing is over 100 words already)
For Week One your challenge is to write a 200 word recount of a time you…
Tasted the best food you’ve ever tasted.
Remember! This week we have been learning about chronological order. Make sure you get the sequence of events in the right order.
Begin your writing here: Months ago I went to this buffet with my family in Bankstown, Australia. We were standing in line for ages, We finally got called out and went to our table.
I got a plate and picked spring rolls, pasta, steak and a bunch of more random food. I sat down and began eating. I ate some pasta first and it was delicious, especially with the alfredo sauce.
Second, I tried some of the steak, it was yum and juicy. After that I finally tried the spring rolls as I chewed down the spring rolls CRUNCH! I heard, it was so crispy and crunchy that I heard a sound. It was so scrumptious that I got more spring rolls! The spring rolls were warm, crispy, crunchy, and there were vegetables in it.
For dessert I saw this HUGE! chocolate fountain with chocolate drizzling down everywhere, I grabbed a skewer and stuck a marshmallow on it. I put my marshmallow on the chocolate fountain and put my marshmallow on the chocolate fountain and sprinkled it with chocolate sprinkles. I bit into it and it was absolutely AMAZING! The chocolate sprinkles made it even better.
I felt pleased and satisifed by the good food.
Today on a beautiful morning, Me and my class lined up outside filled with excitement ready to walk to the immersion assembly. When we arrived at the immersion assembly we saw this HUGE! square shaped tub filled with bunch of dirty water. We could also see water dripping from the roof where the stage was. Apparently there was leaks in the school building! but luckily most of it was fixed. Then we see Mrs Nua walking towards the stage filled with rage! She tells off Mr Burt about how the roof is leaking, then Mr Sommerville comes to the rescue! with a hose. He quickly walks to the stage and puts the hose in the tub, He tells Mr Jacobsen to hold the hose in the tub. He walks with Mr Burt outside to put the other side of the hose on the tap, He turned on the hose but it was just adding more water inside. So they somehow reversed it and it stopped leaking and the water slowly went down.
After that it was time to watch the Team 1 movie. It was about Ms Shirleys dog named Max. Max is very naughty that even the next door neighbours are tired of him. Then Ms Shirley found a solution! she found the dog patrol number and called it. The dog patrol people picked up and tried to help Ms Shirley.
They finally found the solution to it and built a fence so the dog wouldnt escape.
Team 2’s movie was about the teachers becoming superheroes and designing some new outdoor space. At first the teachers were eating morning tea and talking about superheroes. Then Ms Squires comes along and shows them her design of what would the superheroes look like.
Team 3’s movie was really creative in my opinion along with Team 1’s movie. Team 3’s movie was about stone age which was really long ago. They also showed us how they commnicate back in day and they showed us how they dressed back in the day. They used animal skin for the shoes and Loin cloths stitched-together for the clothes.
Team 4’s movie was about thinking of making a design. They came early to school and didnt know where to put their bags so they put their bags on the ground. So Maggie thought of a design. They gave John all the sports balls on him but there was no space so John thought of a design.
Team 5 performed a awesome performance, they were all dressed like Bob The Builder and singing. The songs they sang were funny especially when Mr Wiseman called out Mr Morans receding hairline!
Mr Jacobsen also showed us some unique instruments.
I felt very happy being back at school.
