Maths | Parts and Leftovers and What do they know

I completed a 2 maths topics about Parts and Leftovers and What do they know.

First, I did parts and leftovers. The question was about two boys thinking of a problem. There are three slices of a pizza left. Each slice is not equal. Altogether they add up to 1  1/2 pizzas. What fraction may each piece be? Robbie says there could be between 5 and 10 and James disagrees and says there are mutliple solutions.

Next, I did what do they know. The question was about Marie's large family spent $392 on groceries for the past two weeks. The supermarket docket shows that $176 was spent this week. What was last week's grocery bill? Each family showed how they can figure out the grocery bill. Two weeks later the cost of the groceries were simallar. $213 was spent in the first week and 389 in both weeks.

I enjoyed this activty because this helps me improve with my maths skills and what I can and what I can't do.

Homework Book Year 6 | Unit 3 Our Cultural Festival

I completed unit 3 of Homework Book Year 6.

First, I answerd some questions. Why do you think that there are now more cultures included in a New Zealand school's cultural festival? Do you think this diversity adds value to New Zealand society? What do you think the cultures represented in the programme might have in common with each other? 

Next, I did word power. I had to underline the right onomatopoeia. For example: Bang! The car door slammed shut.

Then, I did a couple of other tasks and moved on to something more activity. I had to figure out the scrambled word and match it with the definition. For example: elami - Sends messages electronicly/ EMail

I enjoyed doing this acitivty because this helps me understand everything about our cultural festival.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for multiplication.

I got 100/100 and my time was 4 minutes and 6 seconds.

Next time, I should try subtraction up to 100.

Mobile Puzzle

I created a mobile puzzle. A mobile puzzle has shapes and you need to figure out what the shapes are worth to create the number at the top.

First, I thought of a number that would be at the top of the mobile. The number I chose was 800.

Next, I colour coded the shapes which was 2x squares and 1x triangle and put numbers in the equal 800. Triange = 400 and Square = 200.

This activity was easy because all I had to do was to equal the 800 in those three shapes.

Homework Book Year 6 | Unit 1 Fascinating Felines

I completed unit 1 of Homework Book Year 6.

First, I answerd some questions. The questions were: Which cat would you prefer to own? Why? What is a feline?

Next, I did word power. I read the defenition of the word and matched it with the words starting with the letter C. For example: A larva which turns into a butterfly - Caterpillar.

Then, I did a couple of other tasks and moved on to something more activity. I had to draw something a kitten would play with and I drew one of those knitting balls.

I enjoyed doing this acitivty because this helps me understand everything about Fascinating Felines.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed demon challenge for multiplication.

I got 100/100 and my time was around 4 minutes. 

Next time, I need to beat this time and my last week’s time.

Fractions

I did a maths activity where I identified improper fractions.

First, I wrote down the fraction in words. For example: four thirds.

Next, I wrote down the fraction in numbers. For example: 4/3

Then, I took a screenshot of the fraction and four thirds in pizza slices.

Lastly, I wrote an explanaition. For example: All pizzas were cut into 3 pieces each (thirds). Two pieces have gone. There are 4 thirds left.

This activity was kind of hard because I didn't understand the pizza slices.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for multiplication.

I got 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes and 35 seconds.

Next time, I should try division.

Fractions | Improper Fractions

I learnt about improper fractions and what inproper fractions are. Imrpoper fractions is when the numerator is higher than the denominator.

First, I wrote down the fraction (numeral word). For example: 1 ¼.

Next, I represented the improper fractions by using a number line but fractions, using pizza slices, and writing a short explanaition.

I enjoyed doing this activity because I learnt about improper fractions and what they are.

Basic Facts Boxes | Up to 100

I completed the speed up demon challenge for addition up to 100.

I got 22/100 and my time was 4 minutes and 34 seconds. The reason of this because I lost my maths skills over the holidays or I just had to stop agonising and just but a random answer in.

Next time, I should practice so that I don’t lose my maths skills.

Fractions

I did fractions and unit fractions by representing it in pizza slices, squares, and explained it with a short description.

First, I did unit fractions. A unit fraction are multiple fractions, but the numerator is always a one (top number).

Next, I explained the unit fractions by using pizza slices, squares, and writing a short description.

Then, I did a normal fraction. A fraction is a whole number divided into equal pieces.

Lastly, I explained the fractions by using pizza slices, squares, and writing a short description.

This task was easy because these were fractions I already knew. Next time, it should be more harder fractions.

Fractions

I learned how to do fractions using shapes.

First, I completed the fractions about matching the fractions, shade and label them.

Lastly, I created my own fractions.

I enjoyed doing this activity because I learnt how to use different ways for a fraction using shapes.

Division | Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for division.

I got 14/90 and my time was 4 minutes. My time was 4 minutes because I was done agonising over the answers. So I put random numbers.

Next time, I need to practice my division.

Halloween Story Problems

I created a Halloween Story Problem Slide deck for maths. 

First, I copied and pasted my Distance Problem Solving layout and put it on the google slide deck.

Next, I thought of some story problems linked with Halloween because Halloween is my second most favourite holiday of the year.

Lastly, I put the slides in place and it was ready. 

I enjoyed making this activity because people can practise their maths skills by using problem solving equations. 

The link is here for the google slide.

Basic Facts Boxes | UP TO 100

I completed the speed up demon challenge 100 for subtraction.

I got 72/100 and my time was 10 minutes and 32 seconds.

Next time, I need to go a lot faster and beat my teachers 8 minute mark.

Problem Solving

Today I used place value to figure out a maths equation.

First, I highlighted the main keywords in the story problem. 7 and 16

Next, I wrote down the number sentence. 7 x 16.

Then, I multplied the ones. 7 x 6 = 42.

Then, I multiplied the tens 7 x 10 = 70.

After, I combined the answers. 70 + 42 = 112.

Lastly, I wrote down the number sentence but with the answer.

This was easy because it was just multipying the 7 and 16 by using the place value technique.

Prototec

I completed stage 2 - 3. I got all the answers right and my time was 1 minute and 8 seconds.

Next time, I should do 5 or 6.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for subtraction up to 20

I got 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes. 

This time I bet my 3 minute and 40 mark. 

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for addition up to 10.

I got 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes.

Next time, I should do addition up to 20.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for subtraction up to 20.

I got 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes and 35 seconds.

Next time, I should try and get a lower time like 3 minutes and 25 seconds or other.
