LI: To subtract fractions

Maths this week, we have been learning to subtract fractions.  First we needed to explore and discuss how to subtract fractions in order to understand,  then needed to discuss as a group and work out on white boards the examples given.  Before needing to complete our individual work in our math books.  This DLO explains and teaches how to subtract fractions.

Our challenge was to create a DLO and make word problems that needed to relate to Tongan language week, for example my question was; If Tupao travels from vava’u to Nuku’alofa how long would it take?, and how long would he have traveled? which included a Tongan name and place.

Somthing I found interesting was that the fastest way to travel from vava’u to Nuku’alofa would take 1 hour and 7 minutes, thats a fast flight isn’t it?

LI: Learn how to manage money

In our camp activity groups we were given a budget of $2,000 to feed and hydrate everyone. We chose a menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for morning tea and deserts.

We used our smart searching skills to find the best price for the food we wanted. The maths strategies we used were multiplication. working in groups helps me understand because it gives a better understanding from each other and it helps us get a small idea created into a bigger idea.   Something I enjoyed was working together in my group because we collaborated and got to know each other more better while we were at camp.

Past the 2 weeks we have been working on a maths project.  This project contains Maths,thinking and creativity the “Music Festival”  6 group each design there own music festival were they will needed to provide a location for the currents of the Festival, Foods/Drinks, Merchandise & Theme (etg).  This is my group’s slides (5).

For week six and seven LS1 planned a class party plan. There were six different groups and I was in group 1. We had to calculate food, drinks, snacks, and dessert for the class party and buy them based on the budget. Group 1’s budget was $600 and we ended up at $536.46 dollars and cents. We added how the party would look like and how everything is in place (e.g tables, chairs, eating place etc). After we finished our maths party work plan we presented our Maths to our class.
I enjoyed this task because it was fun to add different things and plan different things. I did well on calculating the food prices.

This week in maths, we revised ordering whole numbers in the range of 0 to 1,000,000! After completing our worksheets, we created posters that could teach someone how to order in ascending or descending order, as well as showing our own understanding of ordering and rounding numbers. Here is my work.

Today, I had the opportunity to create a poster about [maths concept] as part of our maths lesson. This poster is designed to break down the concept into easy-to-understand parts, using my own words and examples. I included 2-3 example problems to show how [maths concept] works in practice and provided clear solutions to help anyone who might be struggling with it. I also added a diagram to visually explain the concept, making it more engaging. I hope this poster helps others understand [maths concept] better and makes learning maths fun! Check it out below!
