Lowest Common Multiples

Group 2 of LS2 have been learning and some revising on “Lowest Common Multiples” (LCM). 

LCM consists of multiplication where you find the number in common between 2 numbers multiplication order. For an example you could use 4 and 7 up to 5 to find the LCM. You times both up to 5 and if there is the same number diagonal from eachother. (4, 8, 12, 16, 20.) and (7, 14, 21, 28, 35) in this case, there is no common multiple up to five. But if you know your four times tables if you add 2 on you can make it to 28, which the 7 times table has making it the answer.

Rounding

Group 2 in LS2 have been revising on round numbers up to the billions. 

Rounding is a useful skill to estimate. In this blog, we will be teaching you how to round. You need to know place values were you can find our example in our earlier blogs. To round you need a base number, I’ll pick a random one. (482.119) if rounding and you see a question asking to round to the nearest tenth you need to realise that the “th” means that it is in the decimal, not the whole number. in this number rounding to the nearest tenth would be the 1 after the 9 in the decimal place. due to the number being higher than 4, we round up. which is rounding to the nearest tenth. which would be 20 in this case. This would change the number to 482.120. I hope that this blog has taught you how to round.

Place Value – Group 2

For maths group two’s task was to learn how to solve place value problems and how we use place value in different area’s. Place value is the place of a digit in a number that tells us how much it is worth. For example if there was an equation that said what is 100 more than 4,628,297 the
answer would be 4,628,397.

Multiplication

This week, LS2’s math Group 2 has revised on multiplication algorithim, even creating a DLO.

We first had to have a little recap js to get our minds in the right space for math and to get familiar with algorithim again.

We then started the book work that got slowly more difficult. It had questions that would ask like what the missing values would be, and regular question.

I lastly created my task and bloged my work. The DLO should help younger students get a good idea or fully master the algorithim.

 

Math

This week f0r math, I used number bonds equations.

First I completed a normal double sided workesheet on paper, it was pretty much number bonds repeating numbers with different equations.

Next I went to an digital worksheet but was still doing the work on paper, it was 40 or so questions to answer.

Lastly I bloged the task.

DLO – Time Tables

This week for Math I made a DLO to have a junior understand time tables (x) more easier for there understanding.

First, I started off by choosing between Google Drawings, or Canva, I chose google drawings as it is easier for a junior to understand.  It’s also slightly easir to use. I made an intresting but simple title just to hook juniors in.

Next, I thought as if I was the junior “How would I understand and think back then?” I asked myself. I explained that Time Tables is just reapeting and adding the number.

Lastly, I used 2 x 3 to be my eqaution to explain. I said 2 + 2 = 4 4 + 2 is equal to 2 x 3.

 

Reflecting Shapes

This week for Maths we were taught how to reflect shapes.

First I learnt translating shapes, and rotating shapes. Translate is to move a shape without turning it or flipping it. Rotating a shape is turning a shape in degrees. A 360 turn is a full spin. 180 is half of a full spin, so just turning the opposite way.

Next I started a task about reflecting, to reflect is to transform a shape or object the other way.

Lastly I bloged.

Place Value Additon

This week for Math we learnt and revised Place Value.

First I made a copy and I really liked the first two slides but they were time taking because of of each shape I had to place indiviudal.

Next I got onto the actual math equations.

Lastly I bloged.

I enjoyed this task because it was easy.

I was good at working out the equation.

I need to improve on making my blog longer and more detailed.

Understanding Place Value

This week we revised what we already know about place value, we have also started learning about how a number can be represented in many ways.

First I made a copy of the place value template and thought of a number, I thought of 7491.

Next I wrote it in place value base ten blocks, and word form.

Lastly I bloged.

I enjoyed this task beacuse it was short and easy.

I was good at blogging quickly.

I need to improve on making my blogs longer and including more information.

 

Subracting Decimals

This week for maths we have been subtracting decimals using money as a example.

First I got ONE sheet of paper, it had 12 questions. The questions were very easy.

Next I finished and made a DLO explaning how to subtract decimals.

Lastly I bloged.

I enjoyed I this task because it was easy and short.

I need to improve on checking.

I was good at doing this quickly.
