Maths – Subtracting and Adding Decimals

WALT: Add/sub Fractions.

In my maths group today we were taking an understanding on adding and subtracting fractions. As our task we were expected to answer all the questions in the photo displayed above, this is something new that I wouldn’t have understood earlier. For Add/Sub fractions there are 3 steps, step 1: Check to see if the Denominators are the same as one another, if they are the same then go on with the adding/subtracting the numerator if not that is where step 2 comes in. Step 2: Turn the equation into an equivalent fraction (Find the lowest number where both denominators are to fit inside of) Step 3: This step only applies if the numerator is bigger than the denominator, if this is a case where the N is smaller than the D all you have to do is make it into an improper fraction.

Maths

For our maths today we were doing ixl on combinations. Combination is a new maths branch that we have been learning for the past 4 days, it takes a while to complete but after you start to understand the work you will continue to gain knowledge and expertise under the combination stem. It involves multiplication as well as addition.

Math – Prototec

For my maths today, my group and i were focused on doing Prototec, I was going to do Stage 8 but it was full of some equations and questions I didn’t quite understand so I went down to stage 6 and finished it with 100% Stage 6 was mainly just addition and subtraction so it was quite easy (easier than you’d expect for stage 6).

I also tried doing stage 7, the multiplication was at its standard so pretty much the easiest part of the sheet, however there were also a few questions on the sheet I was unable to complete which will be focused on this term onwards.
