This is a movie that was directed and produced by our very own Gloria. She did an incredible job of coordinating her classmates and filming this production in it's entirety.

Rocky and Jacob Connect Fractions and Decimals

For the last few weeks we have been working with decimals and fractions first. Jacob is now going to explain how decimals and fractions work. Fractions and Decimals are quite similar. Here is an example, say what is 0.7 equivalent to a fraction? It is 7/10ths we have one more example, 1/4 of 1 is 0.25 stay tuned for more strategies.

Adding and Subtracting fractions with common denominators

Here is yet another DLO for my Maths work. This presentation explains Adding and Subtracting fractions with like denominators.

We're Learning About Fractions

Here's what I learnt about Mixed Fraction

Statistics - Mean, Median, Mode and Range

In class 1, we have been learning about Statistics. I have made a Digital Learning Object (D.LO) to show you how much I have learnt and that I understand this. I hope you learn something.

Empathy

We are off and running with another great year underway. Our school-wide theme for the year is Tiaki Taonga which encompasses all aspects of caring. We are working to develop our understanding of EMPATHY and have made a video to help explain what we think it might look like.

McDonald's Maths

This is the original menu from McDonald's.  What percent would best describe the average increase in price for your favourite treat if you were to purchase it today?  **Explain your thinking!

Percentage Shot In Basketball!

The New Zealand Herald recently ran this story and video:

"In the wacky world of trick shots, this magnificent effort reigns supreme.

Trick shot collective How Ridiculous travelled to Rotterdam this week to throw a basketball off a 96m viewing deck at the top of the Euromast and into a hoop below on the ground.

And on their 62nd attempt they made it."

What percentage would best describe their success?  Remember to share your thinking, not just an answer.

What is volume?

Team up with a buddy and watch this video and see if you are able to learn something new about volume.  Be sure to post a comment that shares your learning, or questions that you still might have.

Can you calculate the area of this irregular shape?

Team up with a partner and share the strategy that you used to solve this problem.

Pick A Partner And A Problem!

Partner up with a friend and see how many of these decimal problems you can make sense of. Remember that your thinking is much more important than an answer.

1. A water pitcher weighs 0.64 kg when empty and 1.728 kg when filled with water. How much does the water weigh?

2. A cyclist has travelled 145.8 km in the first stage of a race, 136.65 km in the second stage and 162.62 km in the third. How many km must the cyclist still complete if the entire race is 1000 km in length?

3. In a well filled with water, 184.5 litres are remove followed by 128.75 litres and finally 84.5 litres. After these withdrawals, there are 160 litres in the well. How much water did the well originally have? 

4. There are 240 boxes with 25 bags of coffee each. If each bag wighs 0.62 kg, what is the total weight of all the coffee? 

5. Knowing that 2.077m3 air weighs 2.7 kg, calculate how much 1m3 of air weighs.

6. Eva is on a diet which states that she cannot consume more than 600 calories in one meal. Yesterday she had lunch: 125 g of bread, 140 g of asparagus, 45 g of cheese and an apple of 130 g. If 1 g of bread has 3.3 calories, 1 g of asparagus, 0.32 calories, 1 g of cheese, 1.2 calories and 1 g of an apple has 0.52 calories. Did Eva follow her diet?

Decimal Game

Check out this decimal game. We played it a couple of different ways. In the first game we played so that the first person to add their scores to 1 were the winner. In the second, we played so that the last person to get to 1 was the winner. If you use three dice, you will be able to use thousandths too. Have some fun learning about decimals.

Running Math

Students in Room 22 run daily as part of an exercise training program. On Monday they ran 3.6 km, on Tuesday 1.2 km, on Wednesday 2.4 km, on Thursday 3.6 km and on Friday 1.17km. How many kilometers did they run this week?  If they kept up this training schedule, how many months before they  would have ran a total distance of 500 km?

Remember to share your thinking, not just an answer.

Walking Maths

Frank either walks to school and catches the bus home or catches the bus to school and walks home.  Both ways, it takes him 1 hour to travel to and from school.  If he were to walk to and from school, it would take him 1 1/2 hours.  If Frank were to catch the bus to and from school, how long would it take him?

**Remember that the thinking that you share is more important than the answer.

Barnyard Math

Remember...your strategy and thinking is more important than the answer!

This Presentation shows you how Mary, Jay'Lee and I are going to make our juice. We have got the recipe and the cost of the fruit at Countdown so that if you think it will taste yum, you can make it your self. Hope you enjoy.

Decimals and Fractions

Check out our take on decimals and fractions.

Fractions and Decimals?

Team up with a buddy and share your thinking.  How is this picture an example of fractions, and how could we describe these fractions as decimals?
