WALT: Recognise and understand word problems.
This week in maths I finished my work early. This is an early finish presentation. I found it fun solving the questions with my friends. Can't wait till next week's maths.

Hmmmm... Yes I Remember!
WALT: Use our knowledge of place values, fractions and decimals to solve word problems
This week in maths we had a refresh of last term. We refreshed our mind with our knowledge of Fractions, Decimals and Place Value. When I first started the presentation I remembered many things. Such as... finding how many tens there are in a number from the thousands. Take off the last number on the right hand side and you've got it.

Solving Problems with Decimals, Fractions and Percentages
WALT: Solve addition problems with tenths by changing one number into a whole number.
This week in maths we learnt about solving problems with fractions, decimals and percentages. One main thing I learnt was that when the question seems like a addition, it can be turned into a subtraction equation. For example: Jeff has 9.7 metres of rope. Brad has 8.6 metres of rope. What is the difference the between?
Some people may solve it like this: 8.6 + 0.4=9.0 9.0 + 0.7=9.7 0.4 + 0.7=1.1
How I solve it: 9.7 - 8.6=1.1

Thinkboard - Week 7
WALT: Solve fraction, decimals and percentage word problems.
This is a little warm up activity for this week's presentation in maths. I found this really helpful because now I am ready to start this week off with maths.

Connecting Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
WALT: Understand the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages.
This week in math, we learnt how to convert a decimal, fraction and percentage into one other. I wanted to find out what 1/2 looks like as a decimal and fraction. 1/2 looks like 33 and 1/2% as a percentage. As a decimal, it looks like 0.333-recurring. My new word for maths is recurring. This means the it does not stop. In the case it is the number.

Thinkboard - Week 9
WALT: Add decimals.
This week our think-board was based around adding decimals. I used the strategy of partitioning. Underneath this text is one example of this strategy being use.
As you can see, I keep the first number the same and spilt the second number. I find this much more easy for subtracting and adding decimals.

Thinkboard - Week 7
WALT: Add decimals.
This week our think-board is about adding decimals. Every time I use partitioning for decimals, I am always reminded of my important rule. Never spilt up the first number when using partitioning. I find it much easier when I use that rule. It helps me a lot so I use a lot. I use that rule to solve the 10 other similar questions.

Thinkboard - Week 6
WALT: Add and subtract decimals.
This week we were given this think-board. The whole think-board is based around subtracting decimals. What I learnt is that when using partitioning for subtracting decimals, never spilt up the first number. I learnt never spilt up the first number but spilt up the second. For example: 2.534 - 1.112=?
2.534 - 1= 1.543
1.543 - 0.1=1.443
1.443 - 0.01=1.433
1.433 - 0.002=1.431
So the answer would be 1.431. Please comment to see what I did with the subtracting and partition.

Thinkboard - Week 5
WALT: Add and subtract decimals.
This week, our think-board was all about adding decimals. Only decimals that only go up to the thousandths. I had help with my ten similar questions with my friend Htet htet.

Thinkboard - Week 4
WALT: Add and Subtract decimals.
This week we focused our learning around subtracting decimals. Something I learnt this week is to never split up the first number of the equation, while partitioning. For example: 2.867 - 0.242 would equal to 2.625. This is how I solved it.

2.867-0.002=2.865
2.865-0.04=2.825
2.825-0.2=2.652
So the answer is 2.625. As you can see I split the second number and left the first number, the same.

Thinkboard- Week 2
WALT: Work with decimals.
Last week we focused on decimals. We learnt about place value in decimals. Our teacher gave us a few questions before we started our think-board. For example: 11.34 x 0.6. The answer to this will be 6.804. One thing that I learnt is when you have the answer with no decimal, count how many numbers after the decimal point were there in the original question. Count from the right hand side the numbers after the decimal point and that decimal point will go.

Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 4
WALT: Work with decimals.
In Maths Teacher Lesson this week I have learnt to add when subtracting. For example: 3.364 - 5.597=?. When adding, you will take the second number and round it to the nearest whole number. Look underneath to see the whole solution.

Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 3
WALT: Subtract decimals.
In Maths Teacher Lesson this week, I have learnt an easier way to subtract decimals. The way is to split the numbers into their place values and then subtract from there. For example: 16.63-8.51=8.12. This is the way I worked it out is by this. This is the some times the way I find the answer to subtraction questions.
Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 2
WALT: Add and Subtract.
This week in Maths teacher lesson always to look at the number on the right before answering. The reason why to do this is so that you know if the number is going to end up in the next column. For example: 273+183=?. The way that I solve this is by doing this, 3+3=6, 170+180=350 then add the other hundred. The answer that I ended up with in the end is, 456. So my advice for you is to use this way to solve addition and subtraction questions.

Problem Solving-Week 4
WALT: Add and Subtract.
In Problem Solving this week, I have learnt to look at the number in the right. For example:1893-546=?, before I answer I am going to look at the last two numbers. So 13-16=7, after that we solve the rest of the question. The end result would be 1347.(if you did not know, Moi means me in French)

Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 2
WALT: Add and subtract.
Last week in maths teacher lesson, we learnt how to add and subtract. We mostly looked at decimals and then we made them into fractions. For example; 2.4. The way I solve the question is by doing this; there is 2 and there 4/10, so if we add those together, it would equal to 2 and 4/10. So 2.4 in fractions would equal to 2 and 4/10's.

Maths Problem Solving-Week 3
WALT: Add and subtract decimals.
Start Writing Here: In Problem Solving I have been learning how to solve questions on my own. I have learnt that sometimes it is okay to solve questions with the simple solution. For example; 0.87-0.64=?. The simple way to work this out is by spiting them and then subtracting. It looks like this 0.8-0.6=0.2 and then we do 0.07-0.04=0.03. Once I have done this I will have the answer, 0.2+0.03=0.23. So the answer would be 0.23.

Maths Problem Solving-Week 2
WALT: Add and Subtract Decimals.
In Maths for this week, I have learnt about subtracting decimals. I have learnt that when subtracting decimals, always go to the small number first. For example; 4.7-2.9=?. The way that I use to work this out is, 0.7-1.9=0.8. I still have these numbers leftover to subtract, 4-1=3. So the aweser must be 1.8.

Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 1
WALT: Add and subtract decimals.
In Maths Teacher lesson this week, I learnt the place values of a decimal. For example; 26.5837, the number 8 is in the hundredths. I know this because it is two numbers away from the point and there is two zero's in hundreds. This is how I see which of the place value is the number in.
