Place Value Word Search


Screenshot 2015-05-05 at 10.20.09.png

Place value word search is about knowing the value of a number. The number values can be placed in the ones, tenths, hundredths, etc. For example - what place value has been underlined? 123,456,789, write in the comments below  .

This word search has taught me that there are many place values for any amount of numbers.

This game was a bit of a struggle for me because I quickly realized that some of the words were to be spelt backwards. I was really happy when I completed the word search game. I really like playing this game and I had fun . Click on the link below and have fun playing this game - WordSearch Place Value

Maths Strategies Week 2


Multiplication Strategys.

From the past two weeks, i have learnt how to increase my ways to answer the question faster.I have learnt more than two strategies for just one equation. I've also been using them for the whole of term 2.

If your wanting to know what equations i've been doing, heres a bit of an example.
----------------------------------
18 x 15 =270
( 10 x 10 = 100
10 x 8 = 80
10 x 5 = 50
8 x 5 = 40)
And heres a different strategy i've also used.
18 x 15 = 270
(18 x 10 = 180
18 x 5 = 90
180 + 90 = 270
----------------------------------
This knowledge has taught me how to be faster at my multiplication and to know many other multiplication strategies I could use. I would like to master my decimals, percentages and coordinates by the end of term 2 .
