Math DLO that will blow your mind!

 For the past few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning to do equivalent  fractions. We had to solve a sheet called fraction frenzy, I found these questions really fun to do but some of them were quite challenging. After we had solved the sheet we had to redo the first two questions on a piece of paper in a pair or group, I chose to be in a pair with my friend, Fern. We started by cutting out all of the fractions and glueing them in the correct places on an A3 paper. After that we could either make a math DLO together and screencastify it individually OR we could make it separately and screencastify it individually. I chose to do it by myself and screencastify by myself. We were doing this to share our learning and show that we actually know how to do the math.

Do you enjoy learning math?

Here is my screencastify

Maths DLO

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning to convert fractions decimals & percentages. We each had to write a script on how to do the math. Gail did converting fractions into percentages, Imogen did converting decimals into percentages & I did converting fractions into decimals. We then wrote our script on a google slide, after we had done that we had to screencastify it. What I could have done better next time is spend less time on making it look pretty, what I think I did well was I added it in 3 steps instead of putting it all together. Here is ours

Math DLO

In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to double & halve. We had to make a math DLO, first we had to write how many slides we were going to make & give specific information about what was going to be on each slide. Then we had get it checked by someone & show a teacher.

Next we had to create a new slide & start, on the first slide I made a title page, on the second slide I did what we were learning & why, on the 3rd slide I had shown how it works, on the 4th slide I did why would I use this strategy & why it works & on the 5th slide I had to show some examples.

The strategy

Doubling & halving is simplifying a big multiplication problem like 6 x 14 is the same as 12 x 7, you would usually halve the bigger number & double the smaller number but if you can’t halve the bigger number it can sometimes be easier to double it - E.G - 13 x 4 would be the same as 26 x 2.

I enjoyed making the DLO because I kept making mistakes & then I can learn from the mistakes. Next time I could try to read it out loud a bit more to check if it makes sense.
