Maths Reflection - Mahara

Ialt:Talk about a fraction question and the different stages that I used.

Today we have been working on our Screencastify To record our work for our Maths assessment. What I have done in this in one of my videos was explain how I got my answer. We also had to do our videos in decimals division and fractions. In my video I am talking about fractions and how I got my answer. What I learnt during this lesson is how to solve question using different strategies.  

What I enjoyed about this Was finding out new ways to solve a problem. What I can work on next time is finding out new strategies to solve my questions. Click HERE for video

Reading with Miss Aireen - Mahara

Walt: Use our analysing skills on a still photo

Today in reading we had to look at these 3 photos and try understand what the photographer is trying to tell you witch means that you have to use your analysing skills to help identify what the picture is trying to tell you. What I thought in this photo was that someone was fixing a under ground pipe so they had to go underwater to do that. One of the things that I learnt was how to use my analysing skills more often. 

what I found challenging was actually finding out  the what the picture is trying to say a what you have to find out about the photo. What I am going to work on next time is trying to find out the whole context of the photo. what can help me with my analysing skills is reading more stories and try to understand what the author is trying to tell to you through the story.

Walt:Add and subtract decimals

Today in maths we had to add and subtract decimals we were given a sheet task filled with equations and word problems. what I like about this maths session with miss komor is that we got to learn new things and 

find better strategies to figure out a question. 

what I enjoyed about this maths session was 

that I got to work with my friends so I can found a out more ways to solve the problem. what I need to work on next time is to find out faster way to find the answer.

One of my question where 32.6 + 25.7=?

so the first thing that I did was grabbed my tenths so I don't get my number mixed up. And that was .6 + .7 witch equaled .13 tenths and then I added  32 + 25 witch equaled 57. and then I added the .13 and then that adds up to 58.3

Thank you for reading. 

Mahara's Inquiry Reflection

This term our topic is our technological world this means the different technological that we use and how it is changing. what I am focusing on is how cars have changed over time. Like the speeds of the cars, Cars use to go as fast as 16 km at top speeds, And 0.75 horsepower now cars can go faster speeds and more horse power.

What I have found challenging was researching other sites to find out more information for my slides. What I enjoyed about this was funding out new information about cars. Did you know that cars did not have brakes or indicators.

Walt: Add subtract and understand place value with decimals

Today we had a maths lesson with Miss Komor. We had been learning how to add subtract and understand place value with decimals. What I found challenging about maths session. Adding up the numbers. what I have learn today was if you add up the tenths on the right side of the decimals it will be easier to add up the other numbers later.

One of the questions that I was learning on was 6.4 + 8.7 Which equaled 15.1. How I did that was I stated with the tenths which was .4 and .7 and added those. Which equaled .11 and the I added the whole numbers 6. 8. And that equaled 14. and then I added the tenths to the number 14.11 but the can't be a 11 tenths so I rounded the number up to the nearest tenth and that makes one whole number and the was one tent leaf over so now the number looks like this 15.1
