I attended two workshops. Converting between fractions/decimals and percentages and Using fractional thinking to solve ratio problems. We had to complete 3 rich tasks, some mathletics tasks, 2 workshops, 2 follow ups and a blog post.
In the converting fractions, decimals and percentages workshop. I learnt how to convert the 3. eg if you had 0.13 as a decimal to convert it into percentage you times it by 100 0.13x100 = 13%
13% converted to a fraction = 13/100 because you are doing it out of 100. In using fractional thinking to solve ratio problems. One of the problem is: How many blue cars would there be if there were 24 silver? I had a guess and it was 21. The correct answer is 16. I found this one was really challenging. I did 3 rich tasks. I did 1, 2 and 3. For rich task one I had to give 5 reasons why someone had measured a basketbalI court and got 19.5 instead of 20. I found rich task two easy because I have learnt about what I needed to do before.
Rich task three was quite easy because it was based on rugby points and I play rugby.
I was really impressed with how well you worked this week on your maths, Matthew! You showed great perseverance while completing your tasks to do with ratios. I think if you were given a ratio problem now you would have a much better idea of how to solve it. Keep up the great work!
