Maths this week

This week for Maths I have been practicing my Basic facts stage 7. I did my square roots, fractions, percentages, factors, division and multiplication. I found it easy at the beginning but it got a bit harder while getting to the square roots and factors. Here is the link to the website I used.  http://www.prototec.co.nz/maths.html

Exponents

This game is called exponents. Its based evaluating exponents, equations with exponents and exponents with fraction bases. I found exponents with fraction bases an little hard because I didn't know how to do it. Its a cool game and i would like to use it in the near future.

Maths e-asttle

Yesterday I wrote my e-asttle test for my mathematics. It was based on algebra. At the beginning of this term we've been learning and studying algebra for the past 3 weeks. When it was time to write my test I was excited because its been a while since i've done my e-asttle. I found it a tiny bit hard because on 1 question I didn't understand it. At the end of the day my results were a 5B which made me really happy.

Billy Bug

This games is called Billy Bug. It is based on co-ordinates. You have to press the arrows to get onto the correct space. I got a bit confused but then I got familiar with the concept of the game. I set a high score of 1 minute and 24 seconds. I found it easy because I had the basic knowledge of co-ordinates. I found this game fun and I hope to work with it again in the near future.

Number Sequences

This game is called Number sequences. The subject of the game is to add or subtract decimals and numbers. I found it hard in the beginning because I really didn't understand the concept of the game until my friend Melissa helped me out. I now find it easy and also helpful in adding and subtracting decimals because its one of the subjects I don't know really well. I hope I can continue with this program and improve a bit more.

Positioning fractions on the number line

   

This game shows how to position fractions on the number the line. The requirements you need to know to play this game is Improper fractions, Mixed fractions and also the number of fractions on the line. I found this game a bit challenging because It didn't show the lines very well. I would also like a bit more of a challenge to push myself to work harder and achieve all my goals. Next I would like to learn how to position all kinds of fractions but especially improper fractions.

Fractions Game - Addition

Walt: Play a fractions game.

This is called Fraction game addition. It shows how to compare fractions and add them up. A part was a bit difficult because some of the fruits were covering the one I had shoot. Also it was also easy because you just add the numerators only. My total score was 10. I had a load of fun playing this game and I would also like to learn equivalent fractions next.

Spending Splurge

Yesterday for maths we played a fun game called Spending Splurge. This game is about Financial Literacy. To play this game you need to have at least 2-4 players. I played the game with my friend Camille. The problem is about going on a flight to Australia but I don’t have a passport, and many other things needed to take on the trip. In the game we have $1750 to spend. The things I needed to buy were suitcase or bag, return plane ticket and a passport. When I bought all my essential needs I also bought earplugs, new towel and togs, travel backpack and also an Australian guide book. When I was done spending my money I had a total of $864 left to buy food. In the game I learnt to be always prepared before a situation.

Decimal Fractions

This week for maths class we have been learning about solving decimal fractions. We have learned how to look at the patterns of our problem and splitting numbers to make them smaller so they can be easier to work with. I found it a little hard doing decimal fractions but I still worked through it over the week. What It’ll like to do next is practice at home with my mother so I can improve more.

Rounding Decimals

Walt: Solve problems in multiplication and division that have decimals.

This game is called rounding decimals. I had to round the numbers to the nearest 1 to complete the equation. I am not good at rounding decimals but I gave it my all. I still don't understand how to do decimals so I practice at home.

Comparing Decimals

Walt: Solve problems in multiplication and division that have decimals.

This maths game is called comparing decimals. It challenges you into using <=> symbols in the right order from big to small. And the crocodile always eats the big number first. I found quite a bit of a challenge but I still did it. I got a total of 90% in my first go. What I'll like to learn next is Geometery

Reflections - Basic Facts Assessment

Today I got my test results for my mathematics. I did well in  place value, addition, multiplication, subtraction, division,  and also arranging the numbers from big to small. I got a total of 590 in stage 6 which is pretty good. I would like to improve in using symbols correctly and also writing numbers from words. I am going to improve in my mathematics by practicing with my mother in using symbols. Or even download an app to help me learn.

The next time I do my maths test I hope to get at least 100% and if I do I will be very proud.

Maths class

Here at Glen Innes school they love eating their fruits, when there fruit box comes. For a couple of days I have been asking the students at Glen Innes school what their favourite fruit is. I asked 50 students (mix of boys and girls) and I got the results. I surveyed the senior and middle school students

The students had to choose between the following fruits here.

The reason why i chose the subject fruits is because there are loads of fruit like starfruit, pomegranate, apricots and dates, but I was really curious about out of all the other fruits, what fruit do they enjoy best.I found it really challenging because I had to ask 50 people out of the school in 2 days. I finally got it finished sparing my morning tea time.

What i would like to do next time is try and survey 100 people out of the school including the teachers.

Hilda-Rose learns Basic facts

In class we are learning basic facts every day. Every day I am getting better and also improving in my maths. It makes maths easier for me every day.On my last basic facts I got 90% over.

This is a screenshot of my extension exercise. I have been learning about using splitting by factors to solve multiplication and division problems.
