Wonderful Wednesday Work!

Happy Wednesday Foxes!

Maths

Have a go at the challenge below

There are three dice, each of them with faces labelled from 1 to 6.

When the dice are rolled they can be combined in six different ways to make a number less than 10 with two decimal places.

For example, if I roll a 2, a 3 and a 6, I can combine them to make 2.36, 2.63, 3.26, 3.62, 6.23 or 6.32.

Now round each of these numbers to the nearest whole number:
2.36 rounds to 2,

2.63 rounds to 3,

3.26 rounds to 3,

3.62 rounds to 4,

6.23 rounds to 6 and

6.32 rounds to 6.

Repeat for other rolls of the dice.

Can each of the six numbers round to the same whole number?
Can each of the six numbers round to a different whole number?

Can you spot any patterns?

If you need some dice there are some online ones here https://www.random.org/dice/?num=3

Spellings

Try to use each of the spelling words in a sentence.

Editing

I have had a go at writing a description but I have made a lot of mistakes. Can you have a look and see if you can edit it for me?

You might need to write it out again.

Bonus point: Can you spot where I have used a fronted adverbial, a simile and some personification?

Have a good day!
