Maths Problem Solving- Week 4

This week our problem solving has been around decimals. We had to get into partners or in three. We then answered the problems. I have found this week a little harder to get my hear around. I find that I am still working in whole numbers and get the answers wrong. What has been a help is thinking of decimals as money - dollars and cents.

Maths Problem Solving Week 2

Task: This task asked us to add decimals. We had to add the rounded numbers first then the units to get my answer I had to split numbers also in these problems. When getting my answer I had to also add the rounded numbers.

Problem Solving-Week 1

WALT: Add and subtract decimals



This task asked us to add decimals to get to the answer. We had to add the small decimal number first to get to the closest tidy ten. Then we would add the big number to get to the final answer. Here is an example:

1. 1.2+8.7=
2. 1.2+7=1.9
3. 1.9+8=9.9 
Here is your answer: 9.9

Maths Problem Solving Week 10

WALT: Add and subtract fractions.


Task: This week me and my partner learnt how to add fractions. I learnt that we have to add the big numbers first then the remainders to get the correct answer. I also learnt how to simplify fractions into easiest form like this: 4/8 the simplest form for this is 1/2 I know this because:

4/8 
1. 4 divided by 4=1
2. 8 divided by 4=2
Add together
3. 1+2=1/2 
That's how I got my answer.

We had to see between two fractions what was the greatest's number- Like for example: 2/10 and 7/12 we had to see which fraction was greater than the other. 7/12 is obviously the greater number but how I got my answer is what matters the most so please read through to see how I solved it by reading this presentation. Hope you enjoy.
