Shapes Tangram

In maths we are using to manipulate other shapes to make a figure, letter and bigger shapes.
The following shapes we used was:  5 triangles ( 2 big, 2 little and 1 medium ), 1 little square and 1 parallelogram. These pieces are called a tangram.  

This is what I've made so far:

Fraction number line

Today I able to put fraction into order using the number line.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
                  |      |        |
                 3/4. 6/12 or 1/2.  7/12

Maths Portfolio 2

I am learning to solve Rate and Ratio using level 4 stragies

This resource is about showing how to solve problems involving rates and ratios

Show how you work these problem out.

1.  Mara has 4 books for every 3 books Chloe has.

Chloe has 12 books.

Mara has 16 books

12 divided by 3 = 4

16 divided by 4 = 4

What is the ratio?  Explain using the ratio

3:4

12 : 16

2.  Sam gets $15 every 5 weeks for doing work around the house.

Show how to work out how many weeks it will take Sam to save $60

20 weeks = $60

10 weeks = $30. because double of 15 is 30 and double of 5 is 10.

What is the ratio?  Explain using the ratio.

5:15

20:60

3.  There are 6 boys for every 4 girls in a hockey team.

There are 10 girls in the team

Show how to work out how many boys are in the team.

10:15

its 4:6 but I make it 2:3

2 x 5 = 10

3 x 5 = 15

Answer 10 : 15

Maths Portfolio 1

I am able to solve fraction using place value and reversibility

This task is about finding fractions of a given number.

Level 3 fraction 3

A farmer is selling some of his animals.

1.  The farmer sells ¼ of his 72 cows.  Show how to work out how many cows he sess.

4 x ___= 72

4 x 10 = 40

4 x 8 = 32

10 + 8 = 18 <---- ¼ of his 72 cows

32 + 40 = 72

2. He sells ⅓ of his 45 pigs.  Show how to work out how many pigs he sells.

45 divided by 3 = ___

30 divided by 3 = 10

15 divided by 3 = 3

10 + 3 = 13 <----- ⅓ of his 45 pigs

30 + 15 = 45

3.   He sells ⅙ of his 84 sheep.  Show how to work out how many sheep he sells.

6 x ___ = 84

6 x 10 = 60

6 x 4 = 24

10 + 3 = 13 <---- ⅙ of his 84 sheep

60 + 24 = 48.

Measurement Estimation Problem

This is a red bucket that will be filled with 2832 ml
and also there is a 236 ml cup. Our problem was to estimate how much 236 ml cups will fill this 2832 ml bucket.

Tevita Fohe in our group estimated twelve 236 ml cups will fill this red bucket, which was right. This how we worked it out :
in 12 there is a 10 and a 2.
10 x 236 = 2360
2 x 236 = 472
Answer 472 + 2360 = 2832. 2 litres and 832 millilitres.
