Decimal Fractions - Maths 2019

WALT: convert between fractions and decimals



Task Description
Room 4 Maths is finally focusing on Decimals! We first started off by doing a recap on Fractions to make sure we have enough knowledge to move onto Decimals. Adding and Subtracting fraction decimals which were easy. On the 4th slide we converted fractions into decimals. This was easy as I was familiar with converting, thanks to Maths Whizz! We then converted decimals to fractions. Subtracting decimals was hard at first but if you know that each position in a decimal number has a value that is a power of ten then it will be easy.  This was a fun process and I can't wait for more Decimal Fractions problems to solve! Enjoy!

Point me in the right direction!

Today at Year 7&8 Extension Class, we learnt how to use a compass. Mr Jacobsen helped us by providing a presentation on the anatomy of a Compass and how to use it.
Down Below!

 



We did an Orienteering Course around the School. I was partners with Bethan. We were the first pair to finish first with the correct answer. Bethan and I had a few difficulties with the Compass but we still finished the course with a big smile on our face. It was loads of fun. We were walking around to the yellow circles that had degrees at the bottom to lead us to our next disc. We went around in zig zag circles to finish the course.

Chocolate Fractions ( DMIC Problem )

This week we did a DMIC lesson on Fractions. Firstly we had to think deeply about what the Maths problem is asking us and what the story is about. Once that was finished we went into our Maths Book to figure out what the answer could be. We were quite confused on what the main question was but our friend Marika helped us by understanding the question and that was the main point in the problem. Everything about the question and strategy is in the poster above. I created the poster above with Zaeeda. Enjoy!
