I can find fractions, decimals and percentages of amounts expressed as whole numbers, simple fractions and decimals.

Link to modelling book.

Link to Extended Abstract task.

I found the last two activities on google docs easy because on IXL you have to answer heaps of questions to complete it but on the doc you only have to answer a few questions and show your working out.

Use factors, multiples and powers

In Maths we have been learning:

• Divisibility rules up to 10.
• Simple powers to 10 ( including square roots)
• Common factors of numbers to 100, including highest common factor.
• Least common multiples and denominators.

Here is a link to our online modelling book.

Here are some IXL screenshots to show evidence of my learning.  

My next learning step in Maths is get a new maths goal and complete it.

Linear Proportions: Maths

WALT reason with linear proportions.

Matrix:

Activity














This is how I worked it out:

First I drew up the table in my book, I then tried ton work out which option would be the cheapest. I read that if Sally changed from Cellcom to a different provider she would have to buy a new phone. So I calculated the prices and found that Redfone was the cheapest. To get 7GB she would have to get two 512MB for $25.00 in total, then a further 4GB and 2GB (price N/A) to equal 7GB.

Even though the price in unavailable I assume that it is cheap seeing as though the 512MB that she got was the cheapest out of all of them.

My next step is to get a new maths goal.

Maths- find and validate data measures eg. mean, median, mode and range from appropriate displays.

WALT find and validate data measures eg. mean, median, mode and range from appropriate displays.

Below there are a few screenshots to show that I have completed this goal.

My next step is to get a new maths goal.

I can describe mean, median, mode and range.

I can describe mean, median, mode and range.

Mean: Add all your numbers and divide that by how many numbers you have.

Median: The number in the middle, put your numbers in order from smallest to largest.

Mode: The number you see the most out of the group of numbers that you have.

Range: Start with the highest number and subtract the lowest number from that.

Maths: Apply Standard Form

WALT: Apply standard form, significant features, rounding and decimal place value

My Solo level is Extended Abstract because I know how to apply standard form.

My next step is to have a teacher conference and get a new maths goal.

Here is the evidence that I have completed this goal.

My Student Led Conference

 This is the slideshow of my student led conference.

Maths- Generalise properties of multiplication and division with whole numbers

My next step is to get a maths test.

Maths- Solve Simple Linear Equations

My SOLO level is Extended Abstract because I have completed my goal and I can show someone else how to do it. My next step is to get a new maths goal.

Maths- Use graphs, tables, and rules to describe linear relationships found in number and spatial patterns.

WALT use graphs, tables, and rules to describe linear relationships found in number and spatial patterns.

Task:

Tina and Tom were twins. Tina saves and Tom spends. Tom found a $20 note on Sunday evening and spent $2 a day starting on Monday. Coincidentally, Tina started work that Monday and gets $2.50 a day. How long would it be before Tina has more money than Tom?

This is how I worked it out:

I think that the answer is five days, because as you can see on my table I have circled Friday, which is when Tina first had more money than Tom. To form my answer, I drew up a table with the days of the week and the twin's names. After that I counted up in $2.50 on Tina's row and then counted down by $2 on Tom's row. After that I had to find which was the first day Tina had more money than Tom, which was Friday. So that's how I got my answer, five days. 

This is the SOLO Matrix I had. I think that I am at Extended Abstract. My next step is to check my Algebra test and check what I have to learn next.

Maths- Make and describe patterns with translation, rotation and reflection.

My next step is to get an Algebra test and complete it.
The SOLO level I achieved was Extended Abstract because I can teach someone else. 

Maths- Specify location using bearing or grid reference.

WALT specify location using bearing or grid reference.

Maths- identify 2D and 3D shapes in geometric language

Maths- Comparing fractions with like and unlike denominators

Maths- Write and solve number/decimal problems using + - x

WALT Explain the meaning of digits in numbers up to 3 decimal places.
