Time Word Problems

WALT: Use our known strategies to work out time lapse problems.

This week we learnt about showing our solving for word problems. There were only five problems but with the help of my friend Seini we were able to figure out how to solve the word problems.

Multiplication Pyramid

WALT: Complete the pyramid using no calculator.

This week for an exercise for our brain, we completed a multiplication pyramid. Usually our teacher allows us to use the calculator for the top three numbers. Instead of that, she made us work it out on our own. That's exactly what I did. I did use the calculator to check the answers but not multiply. My working out is on the side of the pyramid in the google drawing.

Word Problems Week 6 & 7

WALT: Understand which 2 operations (+, -, x, /) can be used to solve each problem.

This week in maths we were learning about word problems and how to solve them with two different operations. I tried to use two operations but I wrote it down in a book. 

Maths Problem

WALT: Solve maths problems.

This week we focused our learning on B.E.D.M.A.S. B.E.D.M.A.S is the order of solving a algebra question. First you should solve brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and lastly subtraction.

B=Brackets

E=exponents

D=division

M=multiplication

A=addition

S=subtraction

On the tenth and eleventh slides, I solved those questions using B.E.D.M.A.S. I really hopenext week we learn about more about algebra.

Word Problems

WALT: Find an appropriate strategy to solve each word problem.

This week we solved some word problems.

Time Table Practise

WALT: Practise our time tables.

Most days we have a warm up activity. Today that activity is practising our time tables. We practise on a site called 'tablesmaster'. It's a cool site. I practised my 12 time tables. I not very fast but I think this is much that before. 

Multiplication Pyramid

WALT: Practice our multiplication.

Most weeks we use the Multiplication Pyramid to get our brains started for the week. How it works is...

when you first get there are only the bottom layer of number, multiply the numbers and put the answer in the top box. For example, in the bottom left corner of the pyramid the multiplication equation would be... 5 x 1. My answer is in the box above.

Transformations

WALT: Rotate, reflect and translate shapes.




This weeks learning in maths included a very fun activity. Our task was to partner up and figure out who was B and who was A. Our teacher would call things like, "partner A pose at 180 degrees clockwise. Now partner B copy what your partner is doing but do it reflection".

Rotating Shapes Questions

WALT: Learn about rotate, reflect and translate shapes.

This week we learnt about shapes and angles. Our class went onto a site called 'maths is fun'. We answered questions based around rotation, reflection and translation shapes. The first picture is a question I found easy. It is 'The square is rotated one complete turn about the point O. Which of the following shows the new position of the square?'. The other question is the question that I found hard. It is 'When this rectangle is rotated about the point (2.0) by 30% anticlockwise (counterclockwise), which one of these would it look like?'. I just didn't get it. This week my goal is to make the difficult questions easier for me to understand. 

Geometry 3D Model

WALT: Draw a 2D representation of a 3D model. Draw a plan for the side, front and top view of a 3D model.


You may have seen my post about a learning about geometry. This is the final results. My partner did really well and nearly had the perfect model.

Geometry Cube Rockets

Today we started our maths lesson for the week. We are learning about Geometry. We've got a task that comes along with it. In our maths book we designed our cube rockets. Our task was to try to figure out in our minds, what it would look like from the top, side and front. We partnered up with a person. Tomorrow our partners are going to try and build the rocket. Their gonna try to build it with only the drawing (in our math books) of the top, side and front.  Can't wait for tomorrow.

All this data is going to be recorded onto a presentation. It will be posted by the end of the week.

Number Knowledge

WALT: Add and subtract negative numbers.

Last week in maths we learnt about adding and subtracting. We learnt that negative numbers can be very useful in life. For example when you buy something and give money over the price, you should know the change you need back.

Measurement Part 2

WALT: Make estimates of lengths and convert between metres and centimetres.

Measurements are awesome! Don't you think? That's why I'm so happy to be learning about them in class. I learnt that measurements are important in life. You can use it to help with shopping. Which is something I do most days. If I can use measurements so can you!

Measurements

WALT: Make estimates of lengths. Convert between metres and centimetres

This is last week's maths. We are learning about measuring and all the different types of measurement. Those types are...

millimetres, centimetres, metres, tonne, milligram, centigram, grams, kilogram, millilitres, centilitres, litres just to name a few.

Multiplication Pyramid

WALT: Practise our multiplication.

This week in maths we had a pyramid to multiply. So how it works is the you multiply the first row. For example, 9 x 2 on the right hand bottom corner. That would equal to 18. 

Home Learning Week 8

Home Learning Focus: Maths

This presentation for home learning is from last week. I was very busy this week and there hasn't been a home learning since week 6. So I didn't get to start it until the weekend. Here it is! I think I have improved in maths whizz a lot. In two weeks I've got lots of minutes of maths whizz. It's pretty cool.

Decimal Word Problems

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. 

Home Learning Week 6

Home Learning: Maths Focus.

Last week I forgot to complete the home learning. So here it is now. I think I still need to keep up my math whizz usage. This week's is much better than last. 

Hundredths

WALT: Recognise and understand hundredths.

This week in maths we learnt about hundredths. Hundredths are two numbers after the decimal point. I did this presentation for a refresh. I know about hundredths but I wanted to do this because I needed to have a little reminder. There is also another presentation which is about the same thing but more slides. I tried to finish that. It's nearly finish and I think it reminded me more of hundredths than this.

Early Finish Data Usage

WALT: Collect and organise data.



This week in maths we learnt about data usage. This is NOT a repost. It's another presentation. The questions are based around the same things. As you can see this is for early finishers. Even though it's Thursday I think it's counts as a early finish.
