I am able to solve multiplication problem at level 3
1.    When Jasmine makes lemonade she uses 6 lemons for every litre of water. How many lemons does she need for

i)     2 litres of water?    6 x 2= 12 Double the six makes 12



ii)    3 litres of water?    6 x 3= 18 Triple the six makes 18



iii)   10 litres of water?  6 x 10= 60(10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10)




2.   Devinda is doing some baking. When he uses his mum's recipe he can make 8 muffins. When he doubles the recipe he gets 16 muffins. How many lots of the recipe does he need to make

i)     24 muffins?     24 divided into 8 equal groups.
3- Because 3 x 8= 24


ii)    32 muffins?     32 divided into 8 groups
4- because 8 x 4 = 32



iii)   56 muffins?     52 Divided into 8 groups

On Frog Pond
This task is about adding words to a  text so it makes sense -  This will also show comprehension and understanding of text.


Read the text and put in the correct word.
It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up. A (2) busy day is beginning.
    At the edge of the (3) pond, a little green frog sits on a rock (4) in the water. He
is hidden here among the (5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very calm (6).
His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching the (7) dragonflies. He's watching for
slugs and worms. He's waiting (8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for flies(9).
    Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums far (10) above the water. She is a fierce
hunter, searching (11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of Leaves (12). She can fly in
any direction, even backwards and (13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very
big wings (14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a rocks (15). She swoops down
like an arrow and grabs the (16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it
hard (17), she munches away at it with her sharp teeth (18) parts.
    The little frog has seen all this happen (19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce,
so (20) he keeps very still. He hopes that the Dragonfly (21) will take off towards him
when she's finished eating (22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting
still on (23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies away (24).

Maths Portfolio Fraction

I am able to solve level 3 fraction problems.

A farmer is selling some of his animals.
1.  The farmer sells ¼ of his 72 cows.  Show how to work out how many cows he see.
4 x 10 = 40
4 x 8 = 32
40 + 32 = 72
10 + 8 = 18 <----- ¼ of his 72 cows

2. He sells ⅓ of his 45 pigs.  Show how to work out how many pigs he sells.
3 x __ =45
3 x 5 = 15
3 x 10 = 30
15 + 30 = 45
10 + 5 = 15 <----- ⅓ of his 45 pigs
Answers: 45

3.   He sells ⅙ of his 84 sheep.  Show how to work out how many sheep he sells.
6 x___= 84
84 divided by 6 = 14
14 x 6 = 84
10 + 4 = 14 <----- ⅙ of his 84 sheep

Answer: 14

Maths portfolio Addition & Subtration

I am learning to solve addition and subtraction using level 3


1.  Maraea is saving to buy a cat.  In 3 weeks she has saved $9, $56 and $72.
Show how to work out how much she has saved altogether.
I am able to work out this problem using Level 3 Strategy:Place Value
$9,$56 and $72
$50 + $70 = $120
$6 + $2 = $8 + $9 = $17
$120 + $17 = $137


2.  Tom saves his money each month to buy a dog.  In 4 months he has saved $36, $78, $203, and $123.  Show how to work out how much he has saved altogether.
I am able to work out this problem using Level 3 Strategy: Place Value
$36 ,$78 ,$203 and $123
$200 + $100 = $300
$30 + $70 = $100 + $20 = $120
$3 + $3 = $6 + $6 = $12 + $8 = $20
$123 + $120 = $243
$243 + $300 = $543 + $20 = $563
Answer: 563

3.   Te Ao is saving to buy a horse.  So far she has saved $17, $160, $72, and $148.  Show how to work out how much she has saved altogether.

I am able to work out this problem using Level 3 Strategy: Place Value
$17,$160 ,$72 and $148
$100 + $100 = $200
$40 + $60 = $100
$10 + $70 = $80
$8 + $2 = $10 + $7 = $17
$200 + 100 = 300 + 80 = 380 + 17 = 397
Answer: 397


4.  Petelo has $ 147 as a present.  He spent $78 at the shop.  How much has he got left?
$147 - 78
$70 - $100 = $30
I only have $34 left
I minus 8 from $30 = $22 + $4 = $26

Portfolio 2013

Swimming Recount
Splash Splash went the water, as I entered the water I could feel the goosebumps starting to appear on my legs and arms.  As I was rushing through the water, water drops would just slap my eye, while I was rubbing my eye my number got called out, 9!!! so I zoom across the pool like a fish.  

While I was shivering in the water I started to pop in and out of the water.  When we got back from the first five challenges I started to warm up.  As the season was going on we began to do freestyle.  Everyone was splashing, the water went everywhere even the teacher. By the time we were playing the time was up. We all had fun and everyone was laughing.
