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
