Number Knowledge Review

WALT: Use our new number knowledge to solve equations.

This week in maths, we had a warm up activity to test our skill in maths. I found this very helpful because now my mind is refresh and I can do the actual presentation. When I do it, I have to remember that... 

When changing a mixed fraction into a improper fraction, I multiply the denominator by the whole number. Next I add the answer with the left over fractions. Once I've done that, I'm are finish.

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

Match Up Activity

WALT: Match up the correct fraction, decimal and percentage.

This was a little activity that was connected to the presentation. How it works is that you match a decimal, percentage and fraction that are the same thing into a group of three. As you can see that is what I did.

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.
