We are learning to … create a set of equal fractions

1. Burt is 80 today.  His cake has 80 candles but he only blew out 60. 

 a) What fraction did he blow out?

b) Can you write another equal fraction to this?

2. Draw 3 sets of  pictures to show equivalent fractions. e.g 1 quarter = 2 eighths  

Record your answers in your homework jotter but post a comment on here to tell me how you found the homework this week.

Good luck

In Technologies this afternoon we had a design challenge to make a waterproof shelter for 2 Playmobile figures.  It had to be stable and strong so that Miss McLennan could not blow it over.  Here we are, hard at work…

P7 have been tired this week after lots of long lies in bed but there has been lots of learning!

Shannon – I learned how to explore fractions better this week

Shea – this week I have been learning to add and subtract decimals.

Sophie – In P.E we started to learn more about tennis especially the forehand technique.

I learned that the blue side of a magnet, if you put it against the other blue side it retraces itself.  The red side with the red side does the same as the blue. With the red and the blue they attract to each other. 

We learned in maths how to divide by using the chunking method or the bus stop method.  It was to divide bigger numbers from one digit to three or four sometimes.

We have a money Monday where we learned what money is worth in different countries and there are currencies so if we go to a different country when we are older.

We are learning about smoking.   We had a nice lady visit and she showed us how smoking affects your health and what it does to you.

In maths we have been learning how to read lots of different types of word problems. In an assessment we had to read the question carefully but you needed to use lots of skills like adding, time and loads of other ones.
