My New and Improved Math DLO about Equivalent Fractions

This week in my maths group we have been making maths DLOs, I did my maths DLO with Grace. We had done separate screencastifys but we said the same thing. We were learning to do equivalent fractions, equivalent fractions are when there’s a fraction and you can change the numbers but it would equal the same fraction. You would change the numbers by multiplying and dividing the numerator and the dinomentater by the same number. We solve equivalent fractions by figuring out what number we have to divide or multiply the numerator and denominator by. We were doing the maths DLOs to show our learning on equivalent fractions. The easy part was multiplying and dividing the numbers and the hard bit was to know what to multiply or divide it by. 

Do you know how to do equivalent fractions?

Our Amazing Math Eyes With M&M’s

Last week our class used our math eyes with a picture of M&M’s. We had to look at the picture of M&M’s and use our math eyes and spot all of the things that we wouldn’t of noticed without our math eyes on. One of the things that my group and I spotted was that they were all different sizes and they didn’t all look the same. Another thing was that they were all different colors and even more as well.  Math eyes are when you see when you really want to know how many or what shape they really are and more. I think it was really fun and easy because I did it with friends that helped me. Have you used your math eyes before?

Incredible Percentages, Decimals & Fractions

This week my class has been learning how to convert fractions to percentages and decimals. We did two activities and we learnt how to do it really well. Another one of the challenges was to try to convert decimals to percentages and the other way around. We had to use hundreds and thousands as the base number. The example is ¾ and turn it into a percentage. The first step is to find ¼ of 100 we do that by going 4x_ = 100. I know 4 x 25 is 100 because half of 100 is 50, half of 50 is 25. Next you go 25x3=75  and that’s because we multiply the top number (numerator) by our first answer, so that means the percentage will be 75% and the decimal would be 0.75. I thought this type of fraction was a little bit hard and a little bit easy. I find  turning percentages into decimals the easy part but when you convert fractions to decimals or percentages it’s harder. Have you ever tried to convert fractions to decimals or percentages?

Our Incredible Math Eyes

Yesterday my class did some maths so I had to do it today. WALT identify maths in the world around us. I noticed that there was different types of gingerbread men and they all looked different. We were trying to use our math eyes for our gingerbread men picture. We had to tell them how we make them, what we need to make them, what do we see different about them and all that sort of stuff. We learnt about that and then we wrote all of it down. We used heaps of different types of things like write eaps of those things, answer questions but we also worked in groups well some of us. I didn’t because I came the day after they did it.  Have you got math eyes?

My Incredible Work on Area & Perimeter

This week and last week we did our maths on perimeter and area. We learnt how to use it and what you can use it for and we got to teach it to other people using  screencastify. Screencastify is this thing that we use to take a video of how we learn things and how we did our maths. I think maths is really fun and interesting. I like using perimeter and I already knew what that sort of was but I didn’t know what area was so I had to learn it before I even did anything. So I learnt it and now I know that cm xcm = square cm and same with other measurements. I did area this week and perimeter last week. Have you learnt perimeter and/or  area before?

My Amazing Maths

  Last week ago we I did some maths for school. My math task was using jumping number line. It was really fun and a bit hard which I enjoy because I like hard things. AlI you do is do a straight line with numbers, just kidding but... you will be able to find out when you click the link on my slide and it gives an example and instructions of how to do it. I hope you enjoy learning it. Have you ever used jumping the number line?

Geometry Post

We have been doing geometry and we did a DLO about it. I really enjoyed doing the geometry and writing what I learnt even though I wasn’t here to do that many. We learnt about 3D shapes and 2D shapes.

I am learning to write 3D and 2D.
