Fractions

Fraction summary

Over the last 3 working school weeks we have been learning a lot about Fractions. The types of fractions we have been learning about are Simplifying, Equivalent, Fractions of Amounts, Mixed and Improper fractions, Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. The one I found the easiest was Simplifying and the one I found the hardest was the Fractions of amounts.

• I will give you an example; Simplifying- 20 Apples had to be divided evenly between 4 people. Your friend had 40 lollies and had to be evenly divided by 4 people. How many lollies and apples do they get each?

• Answer:

Because there are 4 people, you can easily divide 20 by 4; So, the 20 can be divided by 4 which equals 5. And if you want to try and be clever you can say 20 can be divided by 5 which equals 4. (Same with the 40)

Answer with the 40 (if you are really smart is 5!). Because if you know your times tables, you can instantly say that you got 5. (Same with the 20)

Maths Goals!

Last week in Te Ngahere we were identifying our next maths goals. Our WALT was to identify what we have achieved in Maths. We were given a brand new Ican sheet and we had to pick the goals we needed and wanted to learn. I chose these goals because I want to extend my learning so that I can get to the National Standards. I will try my best!

My Report Writing, Term 3

This term in Te Ngahere we have been learning about Informational reports. Our WALT was: Write an informational report. We first had to know the structure: Our plan, Title, Introduction, 3 sub topics, and our closing. When we started writing we used the words,  ‘I, Me and this’. These are all Pronouns.

There is a Link for my 2nd piece of Writing.

Comon nouns and Proper Nouns

COMMON NOUNS AND PROPER NOUNS! ^-^

Last week in Te Ngahere we were learning to use Common nouns and proper nouns in our writing, and we all had to attend a whole class workshop because some of us did not use these two things in our writing. We had to be in a group of 2 or 3 and figure out what proper nouns and common nouns are and we had to use pictures to try and explain.

My Maths Goals.

 

Last week In Te Ngahere we started to make a  Google Drawing about our Maths goals. Our WALT was to Identify our next learning steps in Maths, We had to select our goals from our Ikan sheet. These goals will help our teachers plan what we need to learn next In Maths, and make their job easier.

My Writing Goals.

Last week Te Ngahere started to make a Google Drawing about/ around  the stuff we needed to learn for Writing. When we were finished we had to show Whaea Chrissy or Mrs Pou our goals and when they were done we had to make a google drawing about it. The part I liked was that at first we had to do it on a Google slide because we had to proof read it.
