week 6 reading, writing, handwriting , art and maths

This week we carried on with our ‘insect’ topic for reading, writing, handwriting and art. For maths we practised basic facts and worked on writing a variety of equations which would have a certain number for the answer. We also practised solving problems using place value or known facts knowledge. Here is a selection of my work:

Posing maths problems

 Kia ora

We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number 

(a  number which ends in zero).  We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'.

Jack had $95 and Joe had $125 and kale had $262. How many do they have altogether.?

$95 + $125 =$220

$220 + $265 =$482

Maths

This week we made a measuring slide show and on the slide show we recorded the measurements of the heads of the people in our group. First we estimated their head size by looking at their head. Next we put a piece of wool around their head and cut the wool. Then we estimated the wool size. Finally we measured the wool. I found if fun finding out about the size of my head. I found it hard cutting the wool in the right place.

Time schedule

Today for maths we had to use google draw to write up our daily schedule. I learnt about how to create a table in google draw. I liked choosing and inserting the photos that matched the description. I found remembering what time I do things in the day difficult.

Maths 1 Maths: Geometry Safari

\This term for maths we have been learning about 2D and 3D geometry. Fred, Barney and I were in a team. We went on a Geometry Safari around the school grounds to see how many 2D and 3D shapes we could find. Then we had to write what we had found into a table. You can see ours below.

Maths,

We have been learning to solve problems with multiplication and division. Here is some problems I solved this week. used screencastify to show my  thinking

Maths Book

For maths this week we read a book called one is a snail ten is a crab. We then worked in groups to create our own version. My book is called 1 is a fish 10 is a Caterpillar.
Here is my book. I hope you like it.

Basic Facts trim 1

These are my Basic Facts results for the end of Term One.
I am working on Stage 4 I got 14/60
I need to be on Stage 5 by the end of the year.

Maths,

For maths we have been working in mixed ability groups to solve problems. The focus has been solving word problems using place value. We have to select the correct the correct strategy to solve the problem. I have chosen two problems to show you how I work them out.
I find addition problems easy to work out.

Vaseline saucers

This term we made a Vaseline saucers. We made Vaseline saucers for maths and to learn about Symmetry . It was fun .

 

Addition

Here is my video i made on addition or subtraction.

Basic Facts Test Term 3

Here is my basic facts test for term 3. I got 19 out 60 on stage 4 and 30 out of  30 on stage 2-3. I am good at Groupings with 10.  I need to work on adding to 100.
