In weeks 9 and 10 we made a timetable that would make us to the end of week 10. The timetable was 7 days long. I attended workshops where I learnt how to multiply fractions and dividing whole numbers and decimals by using proportional adjustment.
The things I had in my timetable were 1 rich task, 2 workshops, 2 follow ups, 1 knowledge video, basic facts and a blog post.
In the multiplying fractions workshop I learnt to multiply fractions so I can work it out. So first you need to get the 2 fractions e.g 2/4 and 3/5 you put the smaller fraction on the top and the bigger one of the bottom then times them e.g 2x4=8 3x5=15 so that means the fraction is 8/15. This is important to know because if you try it other ways there is a chance you will get it incorrect.
In the dividing whole numbers workshop I learnt to divide big numbers easily. An example of a problem I had to solve was 192 divided by 32. I divided both of the numbers by 2 so it was 96 divided by 16 I made it even smaller by dividing it again into 48 divided by 8=6.
I found multiplying fractions difficult at the start of the workshop because we had learnt it before but I forgot how to do it.
I found dividing whole numbers easy because I am good at division and it was basically a different version of my favorite strategy.
Next time I would like to be a bit more organise with my timetable because I put some things down that were on another day.

ReplyDeleteAwesome work Matthew! It's great to see how detailed you were in your blog post :) I would like you to go back and double check how you worked out your multiplying fractions example and comment back if you still think you have written it correctly! Overall a great maths week for you. You were on task and managed yourself to complete all of your tasks to a high standard. Tino pai!
