Equivalent Fractions

In this game I had to find the equivalent fraction. I found this game really easy, as it was just for revision. My score was 18600 and I was ranked 11th. I would like to play a more complexed game so that it really challenges me. 

Personification Poem

We have been learning figurative language. We learned about personification. Personification is giving life to non-living things or animals. We had to create a poem about school or the beach using personification.

The Beach

The leaves danced in the wind,

Swaying to the calm melody,

Until they laid still,

Waiting for it to begin again.

Maths E-Asttle

I had done a Maths E-Asttle test and I had received my results. I am very proud of my result but I am still trying to achieve my goal which is to get a 5A. I do need to make a lot of progress to achieve my goal. 

Magic Squares

We have been learning to do magic squares. I had to find the magic number which what I did was added all the numbers up and divided it by 3 as it is a 3 x 3 square. I then had to put the numbers in the correct order so that all directions ( diagonal, across, down ) added to the magic number. I completed level 5 and 6. I would like to try a 4 x 4 square. 

Reading E-asttle

I received my results for my Reading E-asttle test and I got a 5p. I am really proud that I got that result and I want to try harder to try even get higher result. I do need to work on a lot of things to get a higher score.  

Apple Danish Braid

Last week Friday, we each created an item using 1/2 an apple, a ball of pastry, raisins and brown sugar. I created an apple danish braid and I really enjoyed making it. Everyone made different designs with their pastry.

Algebraic Expressions

Terminology:

Expression - Mathematical term for the whole problem(no equal sign)

Variable - Mathematical term for a letter(s)

Coefficient - Mathematical term for number before letter

Constant - Mathematical term for number on its own

When variables are the same, we call them like terms.

When adding like terms, keep variables/letters the same.

2a + 5a = 7a

4c + 5c = 9c

7p - 4p = 3p

Ab + 2ab = 3ab

2z + z = 3z

2a + 4c + 5c + 5a = 7a + 9c

4b + 3g + 2b + 6g = 6b + 9g

3f + 2g + 4f + 7g = 7f + 9g

2a + 3a2 + 4a =  3a2 + 6a

15bg - wrong way

Keep the variables separate if they are not the same.

Maths eyes

If no number before letter than it always means 1

Today at Tamaki College, I learnt about Algebraic Expressions. Expression, Variable, Coefficient and Constant. We also had problems to solve and I got the last problem wrong. Though I got to learn it and I would like to try some more complex problems.
