MATHEMATICS

I've learnt how to solve a ratio problem.  I am able to write my own ratio problem.

Can you solve my problem?

Dorothy was packing chocolate to sell at the beach. Each bag had 2 Kit-Kat and 6 Moro’s.

1. She needs to fill 12 bags. How many Kit-Kat and Moro’s does she need?

2. If she has 36 Moro bars, How may Kit-Kat does she need?

3. She has 24 chocolate to pack. How many Kit-Kat and how many Moro bars?

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN SOLVE MY PROBLEMS?

Reflection for Maths, Week 5

During this week I have been learning to use multiplication to solve addition and subtraction problems where common factors can be found. It was quite hard for me to understand it but I managed a little with the willing help of Mrs Tui and Miss Anderson.

Here is an example.

e.g. 24 + 27 + 22 + 28 = 4 × 25  

My Maths Reflection for this week

During Maths time this week I have been learning about problem solving.

I learnt a easier and simpler strategy.

e.g.

Jane has 48 carrots in 4 bags.
How many carrots in each bag?

10 X 4 = 40
2 X 4 = 8
40 + 8 = 48

SO THE ANSWER IS 12 ! !

A Strategie I learnt in Maths

This week during Maths I have been learning to use tidy numbers to solve mathematical problems.

Tidy numbers are numbers that end with 0.

Here is a example.

84 + ? = 104

I then add 6 to 84 = 90

90 + 10 = 100

add 4 = 104

6 + 10 + 4 = ?

6 + 4 = 10 + 10 = 20

What I've learnt in Maths

In Maths I've learnt easier and faster strategies to solve equations and problems.
e.g. Step 1. 9 X 7 =
Step 2. 10 X 7 = 70
Step 3. 70 - 7 = 63

I enjoy doing Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

Now that I've learnt many strategies I am hoping that my levels will change and that I make progress.
