Friday 8  November 2013
This Week Me and Room 7 have had there testing week. It was a bit challenging then I thought it was very hard. On Monday we had our Star Test which I think I did a little good, On Tuesday we had Maths Which was I think was a good test, On Thursday we had Reading which was also good, Today(Friday)Writing Which I think I did good but not good enough and we also had spelling test which I did good in.

It was a excellent testing week we all were pushed to the limits.

Maths Learning

I have learnt how to work out fraction of a set problems/Equations.

For example -

C. Rebecca ate two pieces of the apple pie, what fraction of the pie did she eat?

 - 2/5

Rebecca has $25 and she gave ⅖ of her money to her sister.

How much does she got left?

5 x 5=$25

1/5 of $25 = $5

2/5 of $25 = 10

5 x 2=$10

25-10=15

Answer - 15

Maths Equation/Problems

Maths Problems.
A) He sells 1/4 of his 72 cows. Show how to work out how many cows he sells?
4÷72=18
1/2 of 72=36
1/2 of 36=18
B) He sells 1/2 of his 45 pigs. Show how to work out how many pigs he sells?
1/3 of 45=15
I counted in 15s upto 45.
C) He sells 1/6 of his 84 sheep. Show how to work out how many sheep he sells.
1/6 of 84 =14
6x 84 =14

Maths Portfolio Multiplication & Division

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

7- Because 8 x 7 = 52

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
