Double Take on Transum

Double Take

This game was a little challenging for me because all I had to do was to get numbers 2040 as my goal. My highest score was 1692. Room 12 have been playing maths games on http://www.transum.org/ and we have been having fun. Some of the games are challenging for me but i'm sure you'll have fun. The instructions for the game is on screen when playing.

I had fun playing this game ,good luck to those who have the confidence to get to 2040 high score. http://www.transum.org/Software/Game/

Geometry

Geometry

Room 12 has been learning geometry for the past week. We have been revising on what geometry was about.

What is geometry?

Geometry has a relation between points, lines, surfaces, solids, and 3d dimensional shapes.

Room 12 revised 2d basic shapes are;

A square = 4 equal sides + 4 equal corners.

A circle = 0 sides + 0 corners

A rectangle = 4 sides + 4 corners

A triangle = 3 sides + 3 corners , each corner is 60°, which means a triangle is always = 180°.

After revising the shapes, we were learning about the types of parts to a 3d dimensional shape. There is the ;

Face - On flat side

Base - The side the shape sits on

Edges - The part where two faces meet

Corners - Where two edges meet.

Here I will be talking about the Cube, Rectangular solid (prism), Sphere, Cylinder, Cone and finally, the Square Pyramid.

The Cube is made up of;

6 Faces

0 Bases

12 Edges

8 Corners

The Rectangular solid (prism) is made up of;

6 Faces

0 Bases

12 corners

8 Corners

The Sphere is made up of;

0 Faces

0 bases

0 edges

0 corners

The Cylinder is made up of;

1 Face

2 Bases

2 Edges

0 Corners

The Cone is made up of ;

0 Face

1 Base

0 Edges

0 Corners

The Square Pyramid is made up of;

4 Faces

1 Base

8 Edges

4 Corners.

Thanks for reading what geometry shapes I learnt, don't forget to put a comment down below and ask any questions if there any concerns and thanks for reading.

Place Value

Group 3 and i have been working on a worksheet . This worksheet has taught me how to estimate, use place value and fractions.

The math strategy that i’m having struggle w/ is the fractions. I notice that when the teacher tells me and I forget, teaches me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.

Estimating and Place value is a quick and easy thing to learn. Estimating means to guess the answer and Place value is about knowing which digit has to be placed in.

Put a comment down below and tell me what place value that you know. I know my Ones,Tenths and Hundredths.

Thanks for reading.

Place Value Word Search

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 .

Exponents

Walt:Revisit Problems

Exponents is a very challenging subject for me to learn.

I would like to have a lot more practice in learning my exponents.

I guessed my way out to get my answer correct.

E-asttle Maths

My result on the assessment was a 4b. It was not challenging for me to answer the questions. I struggled on knowing my story problems.

Order of Operation

This game is called Order of Operation.This game is about clicking on the correct operations and knowing your BEDMAS. BEDMAS means, Brackets-Exponents-Division-Multiplication-Addition-Subtraction. I solved all 5 problems knowing my BEDMAS.

To make this triangle based net, l had to make all the triangle drawings at 8 cm using a compass. All triangles had to be drawn equilateral. It was a bit challenging because on Thursday 14, l did not attend to school to practice the triangular nets. There was a few mistakes that happened to my triangular based net. I had placed the compass at the 7 cm mark and I also had not placed flaps on.

I would like to learn how to measure the nets properly in class and to use arcs by myself.

Find Grampy

25/7/14

To play this game, I had to find out what fraction Grampy hiding in. It was a bit challenging for me to find him because l usually had to guess. I found him once and I had 1 attempt.

Name that shape

Walt: Name that shape

All I had to do in this game is name different types of shapes. I got all of them correct in 31 seconds. For me, this game was easy because I knew all the names of the shapes. Next, I would like to learn nets of any shape.

Pizza Fraction Game

Walt: play a fraction Pizza Game

In this game , I had to learn how to place the cut pizza into the correct place.

Level 1 is an easy level to learn your factions. Level 2 is a bit more difficult because there were harder fractions to do. I am having problems knowing my improper fractions and I would like to know how to do my improper fractions.

Spending splurge

I played Spending Splurge with Maia. I started off with $1,750 for a 9 day holiday in Australia. l got the passport and the departure tax. The passport was $80.00 and the departure tax was $25.00. In the beginning, l didn’t understand the game until Mrs Ramkolowan explained how to play to the class. Mrs Ramkolowan gave us another 10 minutes for another game of Spending Splurge and I enjoyed it.

Fractions in room9

I have been learning about fractions. Today we learn't how to draw fraction's of shapes in the drawing program. Sometimes it was hard getting all size the same.

Asiana does maths online.

This is a screenshot of my extension exercise. I had been learning how to solve multiplication and division problems by splitting the factors. I used this strategy in this maths game I played on Sumdog.
