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:

Rugby Tournament

We won our first 3 games, Until we lost to Tamaki primary in our fourth normal game and grand finals.

My highlights of the tournament was meeting new people and scoring tries.

Fraction number line

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

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

Cross Country Report

In cross country the course was very long. All Saint Pius X Catholic Students were sent into to their age groups and waited for the sport event to start.

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.
