Rounding and Compensating

My volcano landscape

1. My reflection

 We have been learning how to apply  the pant.  We learnt to techniques with dabbing a sponge and cardboard .

I found this easy to design my volcano.

I found this piece of work difficult to cut out the ash cloud and to paint the  landscape.

My next step is to put more pressure on the cardboard.

Te Tuhi Art - My Dream House

This is my Dream House that I made at Te Tuhi.  I found this hard to cut out all the shapes and glue the shapes in the right place.  I  found this easy to deisighein all the drawings. I found this piece of work intresting to create.  

Natural Disaster Brainstorm

My Reflection

I have been learning to summarise and record my research into my own words.

I found summarising the information into my own words hard because some of the websites have the same info about tsunamis.  I found this interesting to because I learnt alot about natural disasters.

Unit of a fraction

What is a unit fraction?

A fraction where the numerator (the top number) is one.

How do fractions relate to division?

The bar (vinculum) means “divided by”.

If you look at the division symbol and a fraction, the dots represent numbers in a fraction.

Part of a family of facts:

5x2=10 10 divided by 2 = 5 ½ of 10 = 5

If you know your basic facts, then finding fractions is easy.

How did knowing Unit Fractions help us with the problem?

The red, blue and black counters - we had to find the unit fraction to know how many of each.

We are learning about unit fractions of a set.

One thing that worked for me was:

- knowing the bar means divided by

- knowing my basic facts

- turning a fraction into a division

One thing that was tricky for me was:

- when the numbers are big and I don’t know the basic facts that go with them

- division facts are hard

We are learning about unit fractions of a set.

One thing that worked for me was:dividing the

unit fraction .

- knowing my basic facts helped me.

One thing that was tricky for me was:Dividing the numerator

- when the numbers are big and I don’t know how to divid them.

- division facts are hard because you need to divied three times.
