Maths........Maths................More Maths!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

In today's post I will be sharing my learning about Maths. I will be sharing what I have learnt by teaching you.

The maths I will be teaching you is Standard Form & Ordering/Comparing Fractions (Changing Decimals, Percentages & Fraction into one another). If you didn't already know, each term we have multiple math workbooks we must complete. This is where I have got my information from.

I found both of these things pretty easy to get to grips with once I got it. I think that they are quite easy once you understand. I would say I struggled a bit, but I still understand it so, without further ado here is my presentation:

I really enjoyed making this and I put a huge amount of effort. I really like maths when I understand it, how about you?

I hope you have learnt something. If you did please tell me :)

If there is anything that I missed out or that I could've changed to be better, please tell me and I will make an effort to improve it!

I hope you enjoyed this and that you learnt something!

Thank you for reading and I'll see you next time!

Maths - Fractions, Decimals & Percentages...

Kia Ora Bloggers!

In today's post, I will be talking about what I have been doing for maths recently.

So, for every topic of maths, we get an online workbook where we have to work through all of our questions. We usually get 1 - 2 weeks to complete this work, and when we don't finish it... you have some real explaining to do.

So, I thought I would show you some of that work and show some of my struggles as well.

So, our workbook was converting, Decimals, Percentages and Fractions into each other.

For example:

You have - 43/50, 0.91, 7/8 & 84%.

If I wanted to change them all to percentages I would have to.....

Here is a slide where I explain that.

Here it is:




I hope you learnt something from this and I know that the workbook I did really made me learn a lot and was actually kind of difficult. I think once you get the grasps of this, it can be really fun & easy. You just have to remember how to do it.

Thank you for reading this and again, I hope you learned something.
 I'll see you next time.

Did we invent MATH????

Kia Ora Bloggers,

in today's post, it will be about my home learning.


If you didn't already know,  each week, for our home learning we have to do a certain amount of minutes/progressions on this website called Math-Whizz. We also have to do different blog activities and be careful, we have to do each activity to follow everything it says. Here is the link to our site, if you click 'Other Learning Areas' and click 'Home Learning' and there, you will have the blog activities we have.

This week, I am doing the activity 'Invention or Discovery'.

Here it is:

Invention or Discovery // Home Learning

After I checked this out, I went and spoke to my family and we brainstormed. Unfortunately, we didn't do it on paper so we only have the Biteable that I made.

So, I decided to do a Biteable and went from there, but before I show you the biteable. 

Do you think that Maths is an Invention or Discovery?

It was actually fun doing this and it was really enjoyable.

 I hope you enjoy my Biteable.

Here it is:

Is Math and Invention or Discovery. on Biteable.

Thank you for watching & I hope you enjoyed this just as much as I did.

 I will see you next time.

Let me lay down the rules...

Kia Ora Bloggers,

in today's post, I will be sharing you the rules of divisibility.

Before I get in with it, I would like to say that there were some challenges, and some things that were easy. In one activity, I had to find a number that's divisible by a number with a remainder of another using my knowledge I had collected earlier on. 

On the other hand, somethings were easy peasy lemon squeezy, because we had already done work like that. On some slides our teacher even made a mistake (It's okay, we're only human).

Here is my educational slide:

Did you learn anything? I sure did!

Overall, if you remember these divisibility rules, you will excel in this subject.

I'd say my next steps are to continue getting better and work on things that are harder, but to always go back to the basics to remind myself.

Thank you for reading, I hope you learned something (did you?) & again, thanks for reading.

Negative Numbers

Kia Ora Bloggers, this post is going to be about Negative numbers.

In my maths group over the last couple of weeks, we have been focusing on Negative Numbers.
Before we started, I knew how to add and subtract etc, but I did not know how to do BEDMAS equations with it or anything like that.

It was difficult at the start when I was doing it because I didn't understand, but after I watched a video and found the rule when using negative numbers and it became easy.

We had slides that we worked through, not all questions ended in a negative number, it varied between negative and positive.

I really enjoyed this because I learnt somethings new and it was exciting.
Here is a small DLO explaining how to use negative numbers in math equations:

Thank you for reading, did you learn anything? If you could give me any tips on how to share my learning in new ways, it would be muchly appreciated.

Again, thank you for reading,
Bye

Rimu Class - Hooked on Books!

This weeks in Yalhurst we have been having a Hooked on Books Week. We had this so that we could expand our reading genres and different authors and the books we read get us hooked but we don't read all oth ebook so we have to put our name down  on a list if we want to read the rest of the book. So everyday we get a new book and we don't know what it is until we find out, each day in a different way and creative activity.

On day one it was simple - the teachers pulled a name out of our stick box, The book was called The Honest Truth and it is about a boy who has cancer and runs away. We had to create a recount of what it would be like if we were Mark (mark is the one who has cancer). We also had to make a slide about routes and I found it quite easy because it was a simple task.

 On day two (Tuesday) we played pass the parcel and on the first round it stopped where Gracie and I sat and Gracie opened it, and it went until the last layer (it went forever) and the book was called Space adventure and it is where you get to choose your outcomes and decisions, and it is really fun, we then had to create a persuasive piece of writing about which planet we thought that the person should live on. We also made a pick - a path about it.

 On day three (Wednesday) we had to put together a digital puzzle to learn what the book was called and it was called 'The first hippo on the moon' and before we say the books pictures we got a piece of writing and buddy up with someone and create batik artwork, at the end of the day we got to see the real pictures in the book. We also had to do some optical Maths work where we try creating optical art where it is an illusion.

On day four (Thursday) We had a treasure hunt to find the book and it was wrapped. The person who found it got to open it and it was called ' A Fish In A Tree' it is about a girl who has trouble reading but won't admit to it. We had to read what it was like for someone with dyslexia and how hard it is to read. It is very hard to read and understand words. Here is a link to that. Did you find that Dyslexia sit hard to read? - I know I did.

Today (Friday) we had a vote what book it was but we didn't know which one won and then names got called out and we had choose what box (A, B or C) and we had to choose until it was the correct one. It was called 'The Person Controller' and I have already read this at home and it is fantastic. We haven't done activities on this one yet.

Overall book week has taught me a lot to do with genres and authors and other literacy and maths activities. Some activities were hard and some were slightly easier. But overall this week has been fun. sometimes you think a book won't be good and it ends up being great. This book week in our School has been amazing, you should try it.

Here are some photos:

Maths - Fractions of Amounts

LO: Learning Fractions of Amounts, how to solve the problems.

This week my maths group has been learning Fractions of amounts, this skill is still new to me so if I do something wrong, I am sorry. Today for maths we were told to create a DLO (digital learning object) about what we learnt. Now I am going to be showing you how to work a problem.

Here it is:




I hope that you enjoyed watching/reading what I was learning about. Please say if I did anything wrong or what I could change in the way that I present this.

Short Division

In my maths Group we have been learning to do short division and I had to Make A DLO about it.
