Numeracy

Here is where I will show you all the things I do in numeracy.

Algebra

In class we were learning algebra. I know how to do algebra because my brother taught me how to do it. I think algebra is quiet easy because you just have to figure out what goes in the spot to make the answer correct.
This is an example to show you.
70+c=80
c=80-10
c=10

10 would be in the missing spot.
Here is one for you:
16+c=22

Family Maths Challenge

This is the question for the family maths challenge this week: Use the 4 shapes to complete the grid so that the same shape does not appear twice:

(a). In a row

(b). In any column

(c). In either of the diagonals.

I did it by starting with the diagonals and making each column have a different shape.

Perimetre

In class we have been learning about perimeter. This is a summary I wrote about measuring perimeter.



From what we found out about measuring the perimeter of the desks there is length, and width. Then we had to add up all of the answers of the measurements together to get an overall answer. I think it was hard to transfer metres into center metres because you had to move the decimal point to the end of the number of how many numbers are at the end. I think measuring perimeter is easy because it gives you the distance around the shapes without have to measure the rest of the shape. I have learned to measure perimeter by measuring the length and the width 2 times then add them both together to get an answer. To measure the Perimeter of the Admin Block I had to use a trundle wheel. I thought it was hard to because you could get 2 different answers if you measure a different part.

THE LETTER "M"

FOR THIS WEEKS FAMILY MATHS CHALLENGE WE HAD TO THINK OF AS MANY MATHEMATICAL WORDS THAT BEGIN WITH THE LETTER "M".

THESE ARE MY WORDS ON A WORDLE.

Line Graph

IN CLASS WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT SINKING AND FLOATING. SO WE READ THE BOOK MR ARCHIMEDES' BATH. ALL OF THE ANIMALS TOOK UP SPACE SO THE WATER RAISED UP. WE HAD TO PUT SOME OBJECTS INTO A TUB OF WATER AND MEASURE THE DEPTH AND WRITE IT DOWN IN OUR MATHS BOOK. TO SHOW IT AND FINISH IT OFF WE DID A LINE GRAPH. I LIKE LINE GRAPHS BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY TO DO.

I THINK MR ARCHIMEDES IS A GOOD BOOK TO TEACH YOU ABOUT SINKING AND FLOATING.

2 Minute Challenge

In class we do a 2 minute challenge.
A 2 minute challenge is when you get a sheet of times tables and Mrs R will time us for 2 minutes and we will try to fill out as many times tables as we can.

I think it is very fun and a great way to practice your times tables.

Family Maths Challenge

For this weeks family maths challenge, my class had to follow directions to help Disney get the letters in the right pigeonholes.

This is the question. Walt Disney needs some help labeling his cast and crews pigeonholes. His secretary has given him directions.

I figured it out by following the directions it gave me. For Example: Goofy-2nd column 4th row.

I think it made it easy by saying the column and the row they were each in.

FAMILY MATHS CHALLENGE

THIS IS THE QUESTION TO THIS WEEKS FAMILY MATHS CHALLENGE.

THIS STAIRWAY IS MADE OF CUBES. HOW MANY CUBES WOULD BE NEEDED TO MAKE THE STEPS 9 STEPS HIGH?

I FIGURED IT OUT BY DRAWING THE PICTURE OF THE STEPS THEN ADDED ONE STEP MORE TILL I GOT TO NINE STEPS THEN I ADDED UP 6 +29=45 AND THAT IS HOW I GOT THE ANSWER.

Family Maths Challenge

For homework we have a family maths challenge.

This is what I had to figure out.


A boy had 24 cookies and he had to eat 3 on Sunday and the following days he had to eat 1 extra and I had to figure out what day he will run out of cookies.

The day he ran out of cookies was Thursday.

PATTERNS

IN CLASS WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT PATTERNS.


TODAY THE CLASS DID SOME GROWING PATTERNS AND REPEATING PATTERNS.

A GROWING PATTERN GROWS IN NUMBERS OR SHRINKS IN NUMBERS.
THEY ARE ALSO KNOWN AS INCREASING PATTERNS AND DECREASING PATTERNS.

A REPEATING PATTERN REPEATS IT SELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

BUZZ

In class we play a game called Buzz. It's great fun and good practice for your counting. This is how you play. Mrs R will say some magic numbers for example:4237 then the first person will say 1 the next will say Buzz because that is a magic number and so on. I think anybody could enjoy Buzz.

SHAPES

In class we are learning about shapes.My group is learning about Trapeziums.Abouve you can see a bubble us if you want to make a bubble us about shapes this is the is what you type in the address bar.www.bubbleus.com. This is a great way to learn about shapes and it is great fun.

FAMILY MATHS CHALLENGE

For homework this week we did a family maths challenge I will ask you the question and then I will show you how I worked it out. Danielle found 23 eggs. She smiled broadly because she had found eight more eggs than Chris and Danielle combine. Steven found half as many eggs as Jenny. How many eggs did each child find? How many all together? now i will tell you how I figurd it out.

Danielle She had 8 more eggs than Chris so I do a subtraction 23-8=15
23 eggs Which leaves Chris to have 15 eggs

Chris Jenny had found Danielle's and Chris's amount of egg combined
15 eggs so i do a multipication 23+15=38

Jenny
38eggs

Steven I just halved the amount of eggs that Jenny found so I do division
19 eggs 38 divided by 2 = 19
