  1. I just watched the Mathmatician Grahan video. Im thinking in my head how ridiculously huge this number is and I’m VERY confused.

  2. The Vidieo about Graham’s number was a bit confusing but i did understand it a little bit it was also complicated but i do know his number was rediculously high.

  3. Please take more care with your spelling Will. (www.dictionary.com)
    Plus i’ by itself gets lonely if it isn’t all grown up – ‘I’

  4. I just made my cencus on ConCenus. I did a general test with questions about how people live. It was fun.

  5. GridMap was too easy. I had to find locations on a grid. It was fun when I saw all the locations.

  6. The websights are not working I have tried meny times on differnt ones and none except 2 work, do I come back or keep working on the ones that do work?!

    P.S I have also tried more than one computer!

  7. Hi Ms Johnson
    I completed my Census and it is posted on my blog. It was fun 🙂 , also Mikee’s wouldn’t load and we tried everything 🙁

  8. Hi Ms Johnson. On Concensus, I found it really interesting that in Australia, 377 984 people speak Greek, and 110 061 people speak French. I always thought that French was more common then Greek.

  9. I have made my own ConCensus and I think it’s pretty cool. It’s sorta like Survey Monkey except you don’t have to create an account on ConCensus and on Survey Monkey you can create your own question as well as choose from some pre-made ones. If you want to do my ConCensus, click on the link above, click MyCensus, click the middle option and enter in this code: f4a38
    It’ll take you to mine, and you can answer my questions. It’d also be cool if you could tell people outside our class about it as my ConCensus is not just directed for our class, but to our entire school. I’m looking forward to the results to come!

  10. Hey Miss Johnson, when I was looking at what langauges where most spoken In Australia on ConCensus and I found it interesting that 377,984 people spoke greek.

  11. Madajah – they were working! Please listen carefully to the instructions.
    Also your spelling needs attention whilst blogging. (www.dictionary.com)

  12. Hi Ms Johnson, I found ConCencus very interesting, there are 21452932 different languages spoken in Australia! The video about Grahams number was great too. It got a little confusing though.

  13. That Grahams number is so huge but confusing but I still believe that infinity is better.

  14. Hi Ms Johnson I thought ConCensus was a really good source for information, I also made my own one. Graham’s theory was really confusing but I did get some of it and that number was crazy.

  15. I just watched Graham’s number and at the start the video was easy to understand but as it got more into the video it was getting harder to understand, but it was very interesting. One trillion to the power of one trillion. XD

  16. I just did Compass Point. It was like Grid Map and fun to find out all the locations of the places.

  17. I just watched the video about the Siberian Tiger. It is sad how parts of China is chopping down their habitat. The Chinese said it would take ove half a century to fix all the damage they have caused.

  18. Hi Ms Johnson
    Mikee and I have finally got her census to work and it is uploaded on her blog 🙂 Also I watched and had a look at Graham’s Number. It was cool and fun!!! 🙂

  19. Hi Ms Johnson

  20. Hi Ms. Johnson,

    Firstly, sorry that I am not using my Edublogs login… The internet up in B Block must be really bad as it could not load to the login screen. D:

    Secondly; Answers.

    1. It will ascend temporary population numbers, which will be using more water, power and there will be more rubbish to be taken to the tip.

    2. To consider the costs and benefits of me coming to say, Byron Bay, from the perspective of local residents, first we must consider the costs and benefits (if there are any benefits) of absolutely NO tourists coming to Byron. If no-one found Byron as an attractive tourist place, then profits from grocery stores would stay the same, and if there once were tourists, souvenir shops’ profits would plummet. People running souvenir shops would lose their jobs, and then they would be scrambling for a job. Some clicked their fingers and now Byron is an attractive touristy place! Souvenir shops go back into business and grocery stores and restaurants would be booming! And so, from the perspective of local residents of Byron, me coming is mostly a good thing. (Remember the growing tips, water and power usage, etc.)

    Sorry but I have run out of time to complete the challenge, I will do it in my spare time at home.

  21. Just like Chelsea – the way I remember compass points are ‘ Never Eat Soggy Wheatbix ‘ .
    Graham’s number is super, super, super big! Infinity is bigger then I ever thought a number could be!! It is amasing that his number is small for that shape!

    Maybe in Winter they will have less visiters because it will be to cold to go for a swim so then less money from tourists.Then in summer there will most likely be alot of tourists because of the heat they will want to go for a swim which means more money from tourists who will probably want souvenirs.

    It affects the costal communities because people can polute the ocean/area and kill life thats in the ocean or on the land.

  33. 1. I wouldn’t make much of an impact, but there would be more litter needed to be collected.
    2. I would by stuff from stores and give them money. They can then use that money for important things.
    Challange. One day they will have more money, next, they will have the amount before.
