Maths learning with Sue

Some Room 10 students enjoyed a Maths lesson today with Sue who is our school Maths facilitator. Today they learnt about fractions and the problem they solved as a group was:

Six students were in a 100m race. The student who came third got a time of 13.56 seconds. What might be the times for the other students in the race?

They also used deci mats to show representations of different numbers.

Feedback from students:

Bono - I learnt that decimals are special fractions

Keti - I learnt how to show decimals using materials

Siosifa - I learnt that decimals and fractions are similar to each other

Kyana - I learnt that decimals are special fractions with a denominator of 10, 100, 1000...

Lennyx - I learnt that decimals are more complicated fractions

Joseph - I learnt that decimals are special fractions

Tauola - I learnt that the bigger the decimal the smaller the pieces of materials we had to use. For example tenths are bigger than hundredths and hundredths are bigger than thousandths

Congratulations to Taki, Siosifa and Bono who have been chosen for the Bill McLaren rugby team. A fantastic effort boys and we wish you luck for the tournament during the school holidays. 

I was able to watch the game at Sacred Heart College and it was great to see the boys on the field putting in the effort and playing as a team. 

Once again boys all the best and see you at the games.
