Investigating triangular numbers

Malo e lelei and greetings to you all, welcome back to my blog and today I will be blogging

about the triangular numbers hope you guys : )

INVESTIGATING TRIANGULAR NUMBERS

Triangular numbers are made by forming triangular patterns with counters.

Fine has made the first four triangular numbers with blue counters. She didn’t think that the first triangular number really looked like a triangle but it seemed a good place for the pattern to start.

• The first triangular number is made with just one counter and so is one.
• The second triangular number is 3.
• The 3rd triangular number is 6 and the 4th triangular number is 10. 

What is the 10th triangular number? The 10th triangular number is 55 because of 5 x 11 = 55

What is the 20th triangular number? The 20th triangular number is 210 because of 21 x 10 = 210

Writing about technology

Last week Thursday was a very great day because the Kiamanawanui syndicate went out for technology at Tamaki college on a bus. First we were divided into 3 groups and I was chosen to be in Mr Grundy’s class which was hard materials.

When we went to class we had to sit at a table where we would not talk to anyone while he was calling out the roll. The people that were in my class were Isaia, Wesley, Kordell and more. 

The second thing we were doing was listening to Mr Grundy while he tells us the rules in class about what we have to do. Rule number 1 was sit on your chair with 4 legs not 2 because if you sit on it with 2 legs on the chair then you will fall off your seat and hit your head.

The next thing we had to do was get a pencil from the table to write 4 things about a friend of your own on a piece of paper and I was writing about my best friend Wesley. What I wrote about was that he likes pizza, dancing, reading and playing rugby with his best mates.  

Later on we had to put the pencils back where we got it from because we were finished. After that we had to hold a piece of paper that will have our name on it and our last name so that a lady will come in and take a quick photo of us. Next class was finished, then we had to walk back to the bus to get back to school, The end.

Hope you all enjoyed my writing.
