Week 11 Thinboard

This is my thinkboard for Week 11. The question this week was to find the volume of a cube that is 9cm high, 7cm in length and 4cm in width. My answer was 252cm. If you read my thinkboard, you will see the strategy I used to solve it, a diagram of my working out, a word story problem that I have written and 10 other similar questions written by me. This will be my last thinkboard for Term 2 but I think that there will be plenty more next term!

Week 10 Thinkboard

This is my thinkboard for maths in Wk 10. This week, there was a question about adding big decimal numbers, the question was 23.345 + 3.953 = ?? I found this question easy and quick to complete but the challenge for me was making up a word problem. The thinkboard shows my working out, a diagram of my working out, a word problem that I made up and 10 other similar questions to the main question. 

Week 9 Presentation 2

This is my second think board for Week 9, I completed this with my friend Rave. It has the same sort of question as the first think board, we had to find the area and a perimeter of a triangle.

Week 9 - Maths Presentation

This is my maths presentation for this week, it is all about volume, surface area and pi. I completed this task with my friend Rave who is at the same level in Maths as me. I found this task hard because I still don't really understand surface area properly. I hope I can learn the surface area properly so this is easier.

Future - Thinkers

This presentation is my activity that I completed for Literacy. For this task, we had to read the text Future-Thinkers by Pat Quinn and answer the questions that were given by our Literacy teacher. We were given two weeks to complete this so I also wrote about the Mobile Phone and how it started and how much it has changed since then. I enjoyed this task because we were writing what we thought the text was saying and giving our perspective on the text. I would like to do another presentation like this again.

Week 9 Thinkboard

This is the thinkboard for Week 9. It is a similar question to last weeks one. We had to find the area and the perimeter of a triangle whos base is 25 cm and sides are 15cm. We are given the dimensions and the shape and from there, we do the rest! I completed this with my classmate Rave. We solved the question and there is our working out and a diagram of our working out in the thinkboard. There is also 10 other similar questions and a word problem. 

Week 8 - Maths Thinkboard

This is the thinkboard for this week. I completed this task with my friend Rave who is at the same level as me in Maths. The questions required us to find the area and the perimeter of a square that is 13cm by 27cm. Our answer was Area: 351 and Perimeter: 80. We worked this out by adding 13 + 13 + 27 + 27 which equals 80. (the perimeter) and 13 x 27 = 351. (area) I like using area and perimeter but I still don't understand it fully, yes I know how to find the area and perimeter of someone but if someone was to give me a question that was more complicated, I would have no idea how to solve it. I would like to learn more in that area sometime in the near future.
