Term 1 work (Maths)

Have you ever wondered how high numbers could go up to well

Last Term in Math we had done so many stuff like
- Large numbers
- flying around the universe in our Airbus
- do the planets have equal spacing
and many more

Starting with Large numbers from Last term we were told to search up large numbers to see how large numbers could get.
For example
                                         
Ten                                  1 trillion                      10 sextillion               100 nonillion          ETC
Hundred                          10 trillion                    100 sextillion             1 decillion
Thousand                        100 trillion                  1 septillion                 10 decillion
Ten Thousand                 1 quadrillion               10 septillion               100 decillion
1 million                          10 quadrillion             100 septillion             1 undecillion
10 million                        100 quadrillion           1 octillion                  10 undecillion
100 million                      1 quintillion                10 octillion                100 undecillion
1 billion                           10 quintillion              100 octillion              1 duodecillion
10 billion                         100 quintillion            1 nonillion                10 duodecillion
100 billion                       1 sextillion                  10 nonillion              100 duodecillion 

In all honesty, I didn't even know numbers could go this high until we were told to look up large numbers.

And it's scary enough to see this much zeros
Septillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^24)
And also Duodecillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^39)

And before the end of that project, we were given questions
How many litres of water in the sea -
And
what is the biggest number of grains of sand on a beach?

To answer those questions
- 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 Liters of water in the sea (1.26 x 10^21)
- 7.5 x 10^17 which is also known to be about seven quintillions or five hundred quadrillion grains

As well as last term we did flying around the universe in our Airbus.
Basically, the point of the name was to see how long it would take to get from one planet to another planet in an Airbus
So as a class we picked a planet in groups and did the distance of the planet and the time it would take to get there, starting from earth to the planet we wanted to go to.
Here is a small example of what we did

(Reason, why some answers may look the same, is because we did this in groups)
                                             (So each new line going down is a new group)
            (And after we were finished with our work on the doc we were then given a class slideshow which we picked a planet and then we stuck the information we did on the doc on the slideshow we were given)           




















Did you ever wonder if the planets were equally spaced?
Well in Maths we were given the task to find that out.
We put ourself into groups and begun to get the distances of each planet in KM then we turned them into Decimals and then Percentages to get our final result

(We started off in our book and begun written done the distances of each planet)
Sun to Mercury - 57.91 Million Km
Mercury to Venus - 50.05 Million Km
Venus to Earth - 261 Million Km
Earth to Mars 54.6 Million Km
Mars to Jupiter - 533.4 Million Km
Jupiter to Saturn 612 Million Km
Saturn to Uranus 1.4 Billion Km
Uranus to Neptune 1.7 Billion Km

(Then we moved to a sheet to start our true work)
(Here is what I and my Buddy managed to do, Not much but our first copy had much more and was much more complicated so I'm glad it turned out like this)
Planets                    Distance in Km                   Decimal          Percentage
Sun to Mercury -   57.91 Million Km                     0.01                 1%
Mercury to Venus -   50.05 Million Km                 0.01                  1%
Venus to Earth -   261 Million Km                         0.06                  6%
Earth to Mars -   54.6 Million Km                          0.01                 1%
Mars to Jupiter -   533.4 Million Km                      0.11                 11%
Jupiter to Saturn -   612 Million Km                       0.13                13%
Saturn to Uranus -   1.4 Billion Km                        0.3                  30%
Uranus to Neptune -   1.7 Billion Km                     0.38                38%
Total ----->                 4.669 Billion Km                 1.01               101%

  1. Hi, Ruby. It's Summer!
    I thought your post was great. I like how you laid out your information about the facts on Pluto! However, there's a bit of space and a few grammatical errors that need fixing. What do you mean by 'sometimes has an atmosphere'?

  2. Hi Ruby! Its Michaela here
    Well done on a amazing post! It really is cool. With the big numbers could you maybe try make it a bit more unifome? Just so it is easier to read. Other than that great work.
    Keep going
    Michaela

  3. Hi Ruby,
    This is a long blog post, it shows a lot of learning but it seems like you've left some stuff out. Do you think in future blog posts you could add all of your work?

  4. hi ruby its liam you have alot of stuff added can you shorten it in r=the easyist way possible and the writing doesn't tell me if i was a passenger looking at boreding the plane where it is are we going to float in space or are we going to go into other planets.
