Something that pushed my learning was figuring out how many grains of rice Rani got in total. That was weird that I was off by one. I still don't get why I was off by one. :/

While reading one grain of rice,wha pushed my learning was thinking of other ways and if there was a certin strategy that could be used to add all he grains of rice.I didnt end up finding any strategys so I endded up just adding everything.I still dont know if I got the answer right or not.

The part that pushed my learning the most was multiplying the millions and billions. Im good at multiplication but this was out of my boundaries! It was challenging but i did it! Yay! I finished my density tower also! YAY!

One grain of rice was a good book the part that pushed my learning was adding all the numbers together. I broke down all the numbers and got different answers and I added them all together. This was hard to do but eventually I got the answer. Then at the end Mrs. Van showed us how to get the answer and that helped.

While we were reading One Grain Of Rice, what pushed my thinking was the same as epicfacemaniac multiplying the millions and billions. It was hard, but I eventually got the answer. I finished my density tower. See you guys!

What pushed my thinking, while reading One Grain of rice was finding out a strategy to add up all the numbers together to find the total of everything.

I think it pushed my thinking because I tried as hard as I could to get it done as fast as I could. To me it was very challenging I got so close to finishing. But I did not achieve this goal. the Valentine's day party was fun. See you all on Monday.

The book helped push my learning because bigger math problems usually have a strategy to solve it more efficiently. I doubled each number in my head with the extra tens written on the paper to solve for how much rice she got on the final day. For the amount of rice in total I added groups of numbers then added the groups together until I got a final answer. I never finished the final answer but it was fun trying to find it.

It pushed my learning by adding the very big numbers. I was surprised it went up to the billions. I'm just happy that I finished.

The story pushed my learning of adding for the disestablished half of the adding calendar I did in my head on the second half I did it on paper but it helps you add really big numbers it was kinda easy because your were adding two of the same number but yea I need to work on writing my number neater!

Trying to figure out how many grains of rice she got after 30 days pushed my thinking because i was trying to find a way to multiply and add them all together. Me and ninjalover both figured it out and looked to see if we got the same answer. We always got it wrong or messed up

This pushed my learning because some of the numbers that we added were very complex! I had Peter guide the way for the last one. Writing the math down helped me because It showed all the numbers.

The one grain of rice was a good book I liked doing math. It pushed my learning trying to get the answers.

when I did the multiplication it pushed my learning because I was trying to find the answers. the most annoying part was when I noticed that I was going 1X2=1, I had to restart down to 20. But in the end I finished it. See you all today/Monday.
