Maths Solving Equations - Kauri

Today in class we completed a maths equations and it was algebra. it was a very fun equation to do.

I liked figuring it out with my buddy and also talking about it. The way me and my buddy figured it out was by knowing how much mls they take every 3 hours and how much medicine does the daughter take every 6 hours. For the dad he takes 10ml every 3 hours and the daughter has 5ml every 6 hours. Then we just carried on just like 10 to get to 300 and added it all up and see how much days it would take him to finish a whole bottle of 300ml of medicine. And for the daughter we did the exact same thing and they both came out as 6 days. They both finished there medicine in saturday.

I hope to do more of this maths it is fun and also challenging because it works our brain and helps us out because we are gathering and learning more skills each time we work together.

This also was a stage for maths question which was very fun to solve.

Tom and Tia Maths Question - Kauri

Today We are learning to, Solve an algebra problem to calculate how much money would be spent earnt by 2 twins. Tom started with $20 and spent $2 per day. Tia started with $0 and earned $2.50 per day.

I used a table to help me calculate the day Tia will overlap Tom with the money. We made links to statistics and chose a line graph to show our thinking. You can see clearly, that by Friday, Tia had more money than Tom. This was a very fun activity to complete it also was a level 4. I hope to do more and to understand it more so I can get better and also my pairs.

Fraction with lego learning. - Kauri

Today we got put into our maths group and had to figure out the question. The question was to build a table that shows one half of yellow bricks. It was a really cool task and this is what we came up with. What went wrong was we made the half too big and the other side too small. That's wrong because the halves were not even and in fractions the groups need to be even. So we moved the legos around and then it worked but then we also needed one more lego so we went and grabbed it then we have completed it.

I hope to do more lego maths because it is very cool and also fun to learn about other things.

-Thanks, Kauri
