Fractions, decimals and percentages

WALT: revise fraction, decimals and percentages.

Today in maths half of the class revised fractions, decimals and percentages. We used matching cards to revise them. The cards that I had at first was 2 over 100. I found this activity easy and fun to play because I knew my decimals and percentages. Next I like to learn ratios and proportion.

Corn Art

Last week our class had to draw a picture of corn. Everyone was not allowed to have the same picture. I found that drawing a corn is hard because it is difficult to draw the little kernels.  

Corn Survey

For the last few weeks room 8 and two students from room 11 studied "corn maths". Last week we did a survey on how you like your corn cooked. 

I used "create a graph" online to draw a pie graph and a line graph. I found that using the tools online was easy because you get to make a lot of graphs. What I want to learn next is to convert decimals to percentages to fractions.     

Estimation Activities

During this whole week, we estimated many parts a cob of a sweetcorn. The people that I worked with were Shanelle and Nataliyar. When we got a cob of corn we had to estimate then count it. I found that estimating corn was easy. I think that working in a group is a lot easier because when we are stuck on something, then the person next to you can help you. What I want to learn next is to revise decimals.
