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.

Problem Solving-Week 3

WALT: Find a fraction of a number.

I have learnt this week that is might just be easier if you change the question around. For example: multiply don't divide, divide don't multiply, add don't subtract and subtract don't add. Those all helped me but the one that helped me the most was multiply don't divide.
