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.
