My Xtramaths results

My results are still the same as the last one I did so I have to work harder and work faster.

Glossary library activity

A helping hand from the Glossary

L.I. - Library/Research skills

Using a glossary

Sometimes a book also has a glossary at the beginning or the end.  This gives short explanations of specialised or difficult terms used in the book.  The following is an example is from a book about the moon.

My spelling activity: Synonyms

L.I- The learning intention was to find other words that mean the same but are spelt differently.

avid- passionate

plight- predicament

lounge- living room

ointment-  balm

tenant- inhabitant

warrior- battler

fret- bother

echo- answer

awe- admiration

pleat- crease

miracle- marvel

rodent- examinee

infinity- boundlessness

I found this easy because I just used a thesaurus to find other words that meant the same.
