Decimal Recap

Kia ora! This week me and my maths group have been learning how to use addition and subtraction strategies to solve decimal word problems.

As you can see, some of the slides have a fraction of tenths or hundredths. Even the decimal of it too.

On the last slide are some decimals where I had to add and subtract, I did my working on paper and I know how to do this easily!

Subtracting Decimals 2

Subtracting Decimals 

Subtract the decimals and whole numbers to answer the questions below. Remember to show your working you can do this by writing it in the document or inserting a photo. 

 

Question

Working and answer 

0.97 – 0.54= 0.43
0.47 – 0.13= 0.34
0.86 – 0.21= 0.65
0.64 – 0.23= 0.41
0.98 – 0.16= 0.82
0.86 – 0.41 = 0.45
2.63 – 1.31= 1.32
9.89 – 1.57= 8.32
9.49 – 3.16= 6.33
6.84 – 3.13= 3.71
10.62 – 4.31= 6.31
8.68 – 2.31= 6.37
16.73 – 7.72= 9.01
4.29 – 2.22= 2.07

 

In these questions you have to subtract from the whole.

Question

Working and answer

5.51 – 0.48 = 5.03
4.72 – 0.53 = 4.19
1.83 + 0.66 = 2.49
2.61 + 0.47 = 3.08
1.74 – 0.26 = 1.48

Kia ora! Here is my maths task about subtracting decimals (number two), as you can see. I had to answer all these decimals with my working in it, I hope you can see how I worked it out because my quality looks a bit bad towards me.

Also I do hope I got all the answers right, if not… I can edit it and work it out again.

2. Measuring Liquid Volume: Millilitres and Litres


Kia ora! Here’s a second measurement task for maths, as you can see it’s about two metric units: “Millilitres and litres”. This is just like the first maths task but it’s about millilitres and litres.

As I go through to slide 4 – 5, I had to drag which item would be measured using millilitres. Super easy as millilitres are about 20 drops of water!

Next would be sorting some objects into the correct unit, then shading the best unit of these measurements. After that, it would be estimating capacity and match the container with the best estimate too.

Last but not least, is a volume scavenger hunt which basically means look for some random objects that are measured for millilitres and litres. But Mr. Moran (my teacher) said that we can also look around the classroom as well. If there’s any errors in the Google Slides. Just comment.

1. Measuring Length: Centimetres & Metres

Kia ora! Today I did my very first maths work. This is all about measuring length, like millimetres, centimetres, metres, and kilometres.

Firstly, we had to drag some pictures to which item that would be measured by. I think each slide with different pictures were easy, but this is only 1 out of 2 more works left.

Secondly, it’s just like the first one but we had to drag a lot of pictures to centimetres or metres. The pictures are quite easy as well. So I think my maths group would get this correct.

Next, I had to determine the best unit of measurement by dragging the rectangle box to highlight the correct unit! Again, easy as usual.

Lastly, I to determine the best estimate. Just by guessing how long the thing is! And as I moved to the next slide, I now need to find the length to the nearest centimetre of the object!

Which One Doesn’t Belong – Kick Start


This week I am doing the Which One Doesn’t Belong – Kick Start activity. This is basically all about which shape doesn’t belong but this time… I had to give a reason why to EACH SHAPE. Also! At the last slide, there is a surprise for you =)

Catapult Building

Today we learnt what STEM was. STEM stands for Science, technology, engineering & maths. We made our catapult out of 7 popsicle sticks and 5 rubber bands. We fired our projectile 3 times, and measured the distance of how far it went. Round 1, the distance is 2.56 meters, round 2 was 2.72 meters and round 3 was 2.36 meters.
