Word Problems


Task description: This week during Maths, we are learning to finding the appropriate strategy to solve each word problem and solve problems that involve multiplication and division. We are also learning to use equations to express a problem. We have learnt so much about word problems that for this week our task was to create our own set of slides with word problems. I made questions including division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. My hightlight was working with my friend (Swaimah) to create problems of our maths slides and having fun with it. Everything about doing this task was pretty easy and self explanatory so personally I don’t think my lowight is that bad. My lowlight had to be writing word problems because we wants to make it a bit hard but not to hard so we ended up doing really easy questions. After that I completed the task, and posted it on my blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed.

Fractions and Decimals word problems

Task description: This week during Maths, we are learning to finding the appropriate strategy to solve each word problem and solve problems that involve multiplication and division. We are also learning to use equations to express a problem. They were quick and easy questions/problems to solve the last problem was really easy to me but my friend got so confused by it. She tried for a while but still couldn’t understand it so I helped her out with the last one and showed her how I did it.

It took some time to really think about the prices for her but she worked really hard and ended up finishing her maths. My highlight is helping out my friend with her maths and seeing the smile on her face when she finally finished and blogged it. The maths was really fun for me so I don’t have a lowlight or anything to work on for this week. After that I completed the task, and posted it on my blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.
