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.

WW1 Trench

Week 4 is the week where all room 12 students are learning to write 3 sentences for one picture. Here are the three sentences that I have wrote on what the picture looks like.

Trenches swiveled through a mountain in a maze figure - with people crowded upon each other, waiting for the enemy.

“ My heart is getting louder, it almost feels like waiting to get shot. My heart is struggling to work. My heart beats are increasing while time flies by.”

“Protecting my country is something stuck in my head - as I know my family depends on me.”

Hope you enjoyed reading my writing.

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 .

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.

Room 12 is learning about advertising for writing. We are advertising to convince other people to use our product. I reckon that my advertising would be very persuasive for other people.

Dear Barbara and Mary-Ann

Thank you both for all the good things you’ve done to get us to Tiritiri Matangi island. Also thanks to the amazing volunteers. The volunteers taught us how birds and  trees are conserved. In my group, Irene, taught us how the pests can get to the island. She also taught us which animals were endangered. On the island, I enjoyed looking around at the trees and listening to the beautiful sounds of the birds.

The 360 discoveries were awesome too.  Our class loved the ride on the ferry.

Thank you Irene, Barbara and Mary-Ann.
