Todays learning

Wednesday 27 July 2016 

Today is my second day back at school and I am enjoying all the time I am having learning new things. Today we had a special guest come in to teach us more about factions and what we call them when using fractions. We also learnt a lot about Olympics and about Melissa Ingram. And to end the day with self management and blogging. Tomorrow my goal is to get 5 blog post up so then I can have 15 blog post for the mouth :)

WALT: divide and share things equally.

Today we had a special person come into room 9 and talk to us about fractions. Her name was Ms. Pine. Ms. Pine divided us into groups of four and had given an equation for each group to solve. We got given equations of a number of chocolate bars and children and we had to divide those chocolate bars equally so each child got the same amount as the others.

Our equation: Seven bars to the four children going kayaking.

Solution: We gave each child one whole and we had 3 bars left as the other 4 were given to the four children. We divided the 3 bars into quarters and equally gave each child a piece. At the end we got the answer of ⅓ ( one whole and 3 quarters)

In another form of saying it: 7÷4= 1¾    

Today I contributed by helping my group understand the difference between numbers and how they are named when they are used in fractions.
