Christmas Word Problems

Task Description:

For Wednesday and today, we had to do our own Christmas word problems and swap with a friend, I decided to swap with Lynette and I tried to think of five questions that were related to Christmas and that involved some type of maths. In the end I managed to finish making my five questions and did Lynette’s questions for me, they were quite tricky but I managed to complete them in the end. I had fun swapping and making these questions especially since it was about Christmas. One of these tasks were by me and the other one was by Lynette.

Maths – Christmas Fractions, decimals and word problems!

Task Description:

For this week, this was the first proper maths session we’ve had in a while. For this task this was basically just a revision or in other words just a recap of what we learnt in the past few terms, for me I worked together with a few others since I didn’t really remember all of it. But after working out these problems, what we learnt all came back and it got easier to solve the rest. My highlight was getting to remember or revision what we learnt from the past weeks my low light was trying hard to remember what we learnt from past terms. I took back a lot of information I forgot and now I have it once again.

Fruit Orchard

Task Description:

For this weeks maths task, I had to do this task, and for this task our WALT for this maths slides, were to “solve multiplication problems by using skip counting or additive strategies interpret and solve multiplication story problems.” For these slides I found getting the answer quite easy as I was to just multiply the numbers in the story about the strawberry patch. Some of them were sort of like trick questions where some of them had the same amount of it. My highlight for this task was getting to get my brain started for the day and I had no low light for this task, what I did take on from this task was working independently on my own on this task can make more efficient affects to my learning.

What am I?

Task Description:

For this weeks maths task, I had to find out what the number was as the task was called “What am I?” Our WALT (We Are Learning To) was “Appreciate that tens are nested in hundred and thousands and use that knowledge to rename whole numbers, rename whole number to make the addition and subtraction of collections of tens or hundreds easier.” I found this task both fun and sort of complex to figure out, My highlight for this task was to figure out the number with the hints, a low light I had for this task was having to really think or estimate a guess to have an answer and something I learn about this was placing numbers in their value/house correctly.

Word problems L3

Task Description:

For this weeks maths, we had to learn about problems that include both multiplication and division, we had to try and work out these word problems. I found most of this easy to do, but sometimes I think doing word problems are a bit tricky though all I really have to do is do BEDMAS with the numbers to get the answer. I successfully in the end managed to get this finished and I tried my best, with the help with my maths book and my group on my table we all talked about how we solved these and worked out the total result. My highlight for this task was having a group discussion with my table and figuring it out together, My low light for this task would be having to read it because this would get me all mixed up about which of the operations I would have to use for the questions given.

Maths Goals – Term 4 – 2023

Vika Maths Goals tm4 23

Task Description:

For this task, I had to write maths goals for this term that I could improve or work on and I think I have some pretty decent goals on what to work or improve on. Things I think could get me to the next level would be having a better understanding of the maths task then to guess because that wouldn’t really take me anywhere and I would just have obtained nothing. Another thing that could take me the the next level is thinking or visualising how I could solve the equation/problem, along with practising my BEDMAS every now and then when I have the free time during maths or at home. And one of the ways I think I can help myself is by asking people for help if I need it because it’s better then staying stuck on the same page for hours. This was the first maths type of task I have done today because it is the first day of term 4 and the end of my two week holiday. I hope you enjoy going through the link about my Maths Goals.

Algebra Operations

Task Description:

For today’s Maths task, we had to do this new task which was all about what operations we use for the equations given to us. For the first slide I think I had overthought it but I managed to kind of work my way through this by adding the cubed colored bags together and then I got my answer in this way, for the second slide it was the same but there two different questions and they were “Do any of the collections have the same total?” And my answer for that was yes, because if you go back to the first slide you will see that most of the collections held most of the same answers. And the second question asked “Why does this happen?” I didn’t really know what to say but I just said that I think the difference was in the numbers depending on how high or small it was to get to the same answer from different equations but still adding with different numbers. And for both the fourth and fifth slide it was to understand the orders of the operation, what I found hard about these two was that it did take a while to try and solve but I know that I have to start with the multiplication in these equations so I think from there it sort of helped me out. Overall I did do my best and I think that I could improve in this a lot if I do more.

Word Problems


Task Description:

For this task, I had to do these words problems, and in them contained both words and numbers for me I don’t really do good in word problems because sometimes I misread or don’t understand what or where the equation is in it, and since today was the day to get this, I can say I did need a little bit of help. Me and my friend did this together and we solved each question on our own, and if one of us needed help, we would both work on the slide together. My highlight for this task was giving the word problems a go and trying to solve it out, the low light for this was that some of these word problems were confusing to understand but I managed to understand in the end.

 

Coordinate Battleship

Task Description:

For this Math’s task, I didn’t understand it at first. But then a few students in my class taught me how the game was suppose to work, it took me a while to really get the hang of it and do it with a partner but during each round and game it started becoming really fun to play it was pretty obvious I lost but what was important was that I had fun. I didn’t want to take a lose as an option so I asked to do a couple more rounds of the game again and because we had it for F.I.O.P my highlight for this was getting to learn a new math type game to do with friends and family my low light was not understanding and trying to really think where each ship is located though that is the point of the game. What I think I could work on is thinking of other ways to find the ships.

 

Expressions 3

Task Description:

For this task, I had to go through these questions and answer each one, I found this kind of confusing for the way it looked, but I had some help from friends in my group. I managed to finish this task, my highlight for this task was getting better each time I do these types of equations and my low light was I guess trying to take a photo of my maths book to show my working out. What I think I could work on is trying to solve these equations in my head instead of on the book this way it is quicker and more efficient for me to do my work.
