Maths DLO

In maths today we have been learning about dividing using multiplication strategy's. Our teacher put us with another person that was in my maths group. My teacher chose Gerald and I so I had to make him a DLO with some questions for him to answer so here is my DLO I hope you like it and if you want to solve it then you can.

Splitting Strategy - Maths

In maths we have been learning how to do all of the times tables. My group has been learning how to do the splitting strategy to complete a question to get the answer. Here is my DLO so you know how to do the strategy. I hope you Enjoy :)

Dodgeball

Today we had 3 topics to write about that we have done in PE this year. The options were Dodgeball or maths and I chose maths. Once we have picked 1 of the topics we had to write the rules, How to play, Clever tips and equipment. After that we have to answer the questions about the maths or dodgeball. Here is what we have been doing.

Equipment:

• 10 Round flat cones
• 10 soft or dodgeball balls
• 2 teams of as much players as you want (More players the better)

Rules:

• If you get hit with the ball shoulders down you are out
• You can go past half way of the court or field to get someone out
• If you get out go out be "honest"
• You can't kick the ball to get someone out

The object of the game is to get as much players out as possible

How to play:

• Split your players into 2 teams
• In the middle of the court or field place your cones in a line and place a ball on top of it
• 1 team on one side of the court or field and the 2nd team on the other side 
• Run to the middle of court or field and get a ball and start getting people out.

Maths interchange

For the last 2 days in maths interchange we have been problem solving some questions about worms and seagulls in a paddock. We have been working is groups of 4 to complete these questions. Our teacher wroted questions on the board about problem solving.

What was the activity?

The activity was seeing how much worms would the seagulls eat to be full. This is one of the questions.

It has been raining in a paddock 273 worms have come to the surface. The seagulls are gathering. Gulls are satisfied if they eat 11 worms in one sitting, How many gulls can be satisfied by the worms in the paddock.

What strategy did your group try?

My group tried 273 divide by 11 and we counted in 11's to get the answer. The answer was 25 and there was 7 worms extra left.

What did you find challenging?

I found challenging was doing all the work by myself because they wernt helping.

How well did your group work together? Were you successful?

We were successful by getting the work done on time and getting the answers. We were successful and not successful because we weren't doing team work and they did help with some of the questions. We were successful because we got the work done.

Can you please give me some feedback.

Multipcation Strategies

This week we had to find a strategy that we had used in the past and make a DLO or make an explain everything. I chose to make an explain everything. The equation that I had chosen was 6 x 4 . We were not allowed to just right the answer we had to show how we worked it out.

Lines Of Symmetry

Today in Maths we are learning lines of smmetry and how many lines of symmetry we have in our picture that you have made. We need to make a picture out of shapes that make a line of symmetry. My picture has 1 line of symmetry down the sides. I made this by my self.
