Adding Fractions!

For the past two weeks I've been learning how to add fractions with different denominators together. It was quite challenging but I got it in the end, and turns out it's actually really easy! So today I made a DLO explaining how to add fractions yourselves.
Next time with my DLO, I might use something different to explain my learning because I always make a slide and/or a screencastify.

So, has this helped you understand adding fractions? I hope it did. Bye!

How to work out division

Today for maths, I learnt an easy way to figure out division. I am new to working this out, so it might not be perfect. But here is a Screencastify, explaining an easy way to do division. It is called short division.

Also, sorry for the bad sound quality :)

Prototec Graph

On the first week of Term 4

Rimu Class have been using Prototec to help us with our maths and we have been recording our results on google drawing. I have been working on Stage Six, I think Stage Six is good for me because it’s not too hard and it’s not too easy. This is important because you will need to use it all the time. You will use maths everywhere like for example if you are sewing you will need to use maths.

Here is a picture of my Prototec graph that I made.

Maths

This week our maths focus is prime numbers and factors. On one of our math lessons we had to pick a number and try and make a rectangle with cubes and see how many rectangles we could make with our number. I picked five and I could only make one rectangle because I picked an odd number, but Hannah picked ten so she could make more than one. Now I know what factors are!
