Maths Portfolio Sample

Description: In maths we are learning about strategies. We are learning to use the best strategy for each problem and how to use that strategy. There are three stages. Stage 6, stage 5 and stage 4. I am in stage 6. The strategys we a learning to use are:

Rounding and compensating

Equal addition

Place value partioning 

Reversibility.

We were given a peice of paper with 4 questions on it. We had to answer the questions by picking and object and using the prices. We also had to use one of t he strategys above. I used Trial and error most often. 

Big idea: You can see from my pictures that I used different strategys for different questions. I learnt that equal addition was the best and trial and error took the most time. 

Feedback/Feedforward: 

Nice strategys Ana. but you could label each image with the strategy you used. Lachlan

Evaluation: I think I did well at getting what I had to do done in the short time I had because I had ICAS practice so I was a day behind. Next time I could label what stratigies I have used because it is hard to tell what I am using.
