This week we Identifyed fractions.
Some Improper fractions are when there at least one whole already, but there are left overs.
One whole that has been sliced into quarters plus another three quarter sized slices There are sevenquarters in total.
When seven quarters is written in a fraction, the numerator (number of things we have) will be bigger than
the denominator (number of parts in one whole).
This task was confusing because of the numbers and shading.
This week we Identifyed fractions.
Fractions are a whole divided into numorus equal pieces.
Fractions include something call a numerator and a denominator.
The denominator is the number under the numerator. It shows you how much pieces there are.
The numerator is the number above the denominator. It shows you how much pieces you have.
This task was easy because some of the gaps were filled in.
This week week we shaded and labeled fractions. Fractions are a whole spited into equal pieces.
First I matched the fractions with thier labels.
Next I shaded and labeled the fractions.
Then I put some shapes down and spit it into equal fractions, shaded and labeled them.
I liked this task because I like making my own stuff.
I used place value to solve a math question.
The question is: A candy store put 8 jars of lollies for a guessing competition. Each jar contained 76 lollies. How many lollies are there altogether?
First I highlighed the key numbers of the equation. They were: 8 and 76.
Next I made it into an math sentence it is: 8 x 76. Then I took the ones 8 and 36, and multipled them. This equals 46.
Then I multipled 8 and 70 to which equals 560. 46 + 560 equals 608.
So in concusion there were 608 lollies.
This was sort of hard because I didn't really understand the question that much.
I used Rounding and compensating to solve a math equation.
The equation is: A farm received a total of 119 millimetres of rain over a 2 month period. If 48 millimetres of rain fell on the farm in June, how many millimetres of rain fell on the farm in month 2?
Next I made it into an math sentence it is: 119 - 48. Then I rounded it to the nearst ten: 50 and plused two.
Then I plused 2 to 119 which equals 121. 121 - 50 equals 71.
So in concusion 71 millimetres fell on the farm on the second month.
This was hard because I didn't really understand the question that much.
I completed the speed demon challenge on additions up to 20 My time was 6 minutes and 41 seconds. My score was 100 out of 100. Next time I will do divisions.
I completed the speed demon challenge on additions up to 10 My time was 6 minutes and 29 seconds. My score was 97 out of 100. Next time I will increase my speed by writing faster.
We had to figure out analog time questions.
First we discussed what the answer to the question was.
Next we talked about the results or prosses about our answers.
Lastly we talked with Mr Ogilvie about our answers in a group
I liked this activity because sometimes it had addition and subtration.
Analog clocks are a piece of technology that help tell time.
A clock has three mechanisms. The second hand moves around the clock the fastest. The minute hand is the longest and moves when the second hand comlpletes rotation. A full rotation of the minute hand is 1 hour.
The one hour hand moves the slowest and moves between the big numbers.
Multiplication is a fast way of adding up the same numbers. The three, four and six times tables are an example of multiplication.
The three times tables are multiplying three by a number of groups.
The four times tables are multiplying four by a number of groups.
The six times tables are multiplying six by a number of groups.
Time tables are a basic way to remember basic multiplication equations like 1x3 and 3x2. The next times table to learn are seven, eights and nines.
Hello.
My name is Paul. I am Tongan. I am in LS1 at Panmure Bridge School. I enjoy drawing and reading.
This week we tried to find the average group score on Athletics day. This inculeded statistics.
When adding data use multipliation and addtion because these made it easier to solve the equations.
If a data set was like this: 2+3+3+2+1+3+4+2, we could make it easier to solve this equation by doing this:(4x1)+(3x3)+(2x2)+(1x1) instead. We add up all of the totals and it equaled 18. This strategy is quicker than repeated addition because instead of adding up the numbers individually, you can add them up all at once.
There are different ways to collect data. The first thing you need to before collecting data is to first ask a question like what is the likelihood of rolling a 6.
Next roll the dice as many times you want, and see how many times the dice rolled on a number. A tally chart can be used to keep count.
Then find the 2 numbers that the dice landed on the most and those numbers are the most likely numbers to land on next time.
Lastly make a graph that shows the amount of times the dice rolled on each number.
Collecting data helps people understand how the frequency and how to interpret data.
