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. 

Thinkboard - Week 4

WALT: Use B.E.D.M.A.S more often.

 In Week 4, we learnt about B.E.D.M.A.S in maths. For my think-board, I used B.E.D.M.A.S to solve the question. I learnt what B.E.D.M.A.S is and what the letters stand for.

B- Brackets, solve whats in the brackets first.

E- Exponents, solve any exponents.

D- Division, if there is any division in the question, answer it.

M- Multiplication, solve any multiplication problems.

A- Addition, add any numbers that need to be added. 

S- Subtraction, Subtract any numbers that need to be subtracted. 

That is what I learnt in week 4.

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.
