Week 2 | Day 1 | Activity 2

Working Out Since Jessa was born in 1985 and received her award in 2010, we first work out how many we have to add to 1985 to get to 2010, so 1985 + 5 = 1990. After we add 1990 + 10 = 2000. Finally 2000+ 10 = 2010, which means Jessa was 25 years when she got her award. 

Now we have to solve the months. Since she was born on April and got her award on July we work how many we get from April to July. So May, June and July, which is 3. This means Jessa was 3 months when she got her award. 

Finally we figure out the days. So Jessa was born on the 7th and received her award on the 9th. So we add up until we get from 7 to 9. 7 + 2 = 9, which means Jessa got her award when she was 2 days. Then the answer i got was 25 years, 3 months and 2 days since Jessa got her award.

Today I did for day 1 activity 2 of week 2 for the SLJ. For this we had to use our maths to solve a question. For this activity we were to calculate how old in years, months and days Dr Jessa Rogers was when she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award. Dr. When l working this out my answer for this question was 25 years, 3 months and 2 days since Jessa got her award. This was fun to do because i could work on my maths to slove this question.

I enjoyed doing this because i could imagine that l was Mr Mandela himself and writing in a journey about him and being him.
