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.

Problem Solving-Week 2
WALT: Find a fraction of a number.
I learnt that if you have more than one question that can be solved the same way, you can look back at the other one/s to solve it again. That is what I did in the problem solving. I hope I can learn more things like this in the future.

Problem Solving-Week 7
WALT: Multiply and Divide decimals numbers.
In Problem Solving this week I have learnt about dividing decimal numbers. I have already learnt different ways to solve this sort of questions, and tried to find the right one that I can use every time. My buddy who helped me (Presayus) also did a question and I think that she has some very good solutions.

Problem Solving-Week 6
WALT: Multiply and divide decimal numbers.
In maths Problem Solving this week, I learnt that it is very very important to look at the last number before answering. I had to do a whole lot of decimals question and the way that I worked it out was by looking at the number on 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. So all I'm saying is to always look at the number on the right.

Problem Solving-Week 5
WALT: Multiply and divide whole numbers.
This week in Problem Solving I have learnt to divid and multiple in whole numbers. If you were to do this, you would have to know you multiplication and division. For example: 67 x 34 = 1828. I know the answer because I know my multiplication and I could solve it fast. So all I have to do know is to find other ways to solve question like these.

Problem Solving-Week 1
WALT: Add and Subtract Decimals.
In Problem Solving this week, I have learnt about decimals and how to add and subtract them. One thing that I have learnt is that when you subtract decimals, is it better if you just subtract the numbers one by one.
For example;7.5-2.4=5.1. I know the answer, because if we split the numbers like this, 7, 0.5, 2 and 0.4, we can subtract from there. So what we would do first is subtract 2 from 7 and we would end up with 5. The next thing that we would do is, subtract 0.4 from 0.5 which would equal to 0.1. So if we add 0.1 and 5 together, we would end up with 5.1. So that means that 5.1 is the answer.

Problem Solving-Week 11
WALT:Use fractions to solve the problem.
In Problem Solving this week, I learnt how to add a decimal number and then turn a decimal number into a fraction. For example; 6.8+2.6=9.4. Another way we can say this answer, is by going like this; 9.4=9 4/10. The reason why it would be 9 and 4/10, is because you have to have 10 tenths to make 1. There are 4 tenths so in a fraction it would look like this; 9 4/10. If you want to go and see Waimaria's blog, click her name.

Problem Solving-Week 10
WALT:Add and Subtract fractions.
In Problem Solving this week, I have learnt that there are lots of ways to find the answer to fraction problem. Like subtraction, division,multiplication and addition. For example:there are 4/13 of apples eaten in the morning. In the afternoon there was 12/13 apples left. How many apples were eaten between the morning and the afternoon? One way we could find the answer is this:4+8=12. Another way we could find the answer is by doing this:12-4=8. SO the answer is 8!

Problem Solving-Week 9
WALT:Add and subtract fractions.
In Problem Solving this week, I learnt that you do not need to have to have writing to solve a question you can use drawing. Me and my partner Rima used squares and writing, so double! I hope I will learn even more next week! I think I will.

Problem Solving-Week 8
WALT: Use fraction to find the answer.
Task: Make a copy of the presentation. Complete the presentation with a friend. Remember to add in all of
your working so that others my understand your solution.
In Problem Solving this week, we learnt about how to spilt the the fraction to get the biggest fraction. For example; 2/8 and 3/6. I can tell that 2/6 is the biggest fraction because if you dived the denominator and the numerator by 2 it would make 1/3 and if you have 2/8, you dived the denominator and the numerator by 2 it would make 1/4. So 1/3 is bigger than 1/4 so the answer is 2/6.

Maths Teacher Lesson-Week 7
WALT: Use fractions in different ways.
In Maths Teacher Lesson, it really helped me with my maths. I have learnt how to make a fraction into it's simplest form. One way to do this is to divide the denominator and the numerator by a common factor. For example, 4/8 divided by four=1/2. Four was the common factor. You could also use 2 as the common factor which would make the fraction 2/4.
Task: Work together in our groups with our teacher to make a maths teacher lesson for the week.

Task: Make a copy of the presentation. Complete the presentation with a friend. Remember to add in all of your working so that others my understand your solution.
In this problem solving, I have learnt that the number does not have to be big to be the largest fraction. For example 4/7 and 2/9. One way we can see which one is bigger, is by seeing that 2/9 would be cut into small pieces and 4/7 would be a bigger fraction. So 4/7 is the biggest fraction out of 4/7 and 2/9.

Problem Solving-Week 6
WALT: Solve multiplication problems using a range of strategies.
Task: Make a copy of the presentation (look to the right) Complete the presentation with a friend or friends. Remember to add in all of your working so that others my understand your solution. Once you have finished, post this on your blog. One bit of the task that was not mentioned was the part when we had to work together. This was a task that we set for our group. What happened was one of us had one idea and another of us had a another idea, we talked about them and came up with a answer that everyone agreed too. We worked it out in the end!
This week in Maths, we have been learning about working together to get to the answer. My group (Rosalina and Revival) worked together to finish the presentation. I hope you enjoyed our presentation and our little story of working together.

Problem Solving-Week 5
WALT: Solve multiplication problems using a range of strategies.
Task: We were given the task to get into groups of two or three and work together to fill in the answer in any way you can solve it. Our teacher gave us this task to put our answers or different answers, to get to the answer. In my group we had three people and their names are Revival and Rosalina.
This week in maths we have been learning about working together and I think that my friends and I did really good on that. If you think we did anything wrong comment to tell us how we went. Hope you enjoyed! Keep visiting my blog to see more of our or some body else problem solving!
