Prove it!

A prove it is when you have learnt something and are ready to show you have learnt it. You make a poster or a mini movie showing what you have been learning and how to do it, this is a 'Prove it'. Once you have gone to a teacher, showed it to them and they have approved, they will sign you off on your learning passport. A learning passport is a sheet with all the learning intentions on it if you go to a workshop with a teacher the sign a square next to your learning intention to show you have been to a workshop. This is a photo of one. 


 My learning  intention was to divide using proportional adjustment. Here is a photo of my prove it.

Maths Sample.

WALT: Use our five times tables to solve mainly six, seven and eight times tables.
In maths we are learning to solve tricky times table questions like 17x6, using our simple 5 times tables. For example, if the question was 6x16 you would go, 5x16+1x16=96. So the answer is ninety -six.
We had to do a difficult maths sample to show we know how to use this strategy. Here is a photo of mine.

The success criteria is to be able to understand and use this strategy without any trouble.
I think I have achieved this because I understand the strategy and can use it easily if I need to. Peer feed back: I think you have worked hard and understand what you are doing and how to work it out. Grace's comment:)

Decimals!

In class we are learning about decimals. Decimals are numbers within whole numbers. If you divide a whole number by ten you get tenths (0.1), if you divide a whole number by a hundred you get hundredths (0.01), if you divide a whole number by a thousand you get thousandths (0.001) and so on and so on. Workshop nine was set a task in their maths book. Here is a picture of my task answers. I could answer them all so I think I can understand decimals.
