Maths Tidy Number Strategies for Decimals

Today, which is Thursday 3rd of August 2017, I did maths with Miss B, who is my maths group LC, taught me how to use tidy number strategies with decimals.

First, she taught me tidy number strategies. You need to find the number that is the closest to a tidy number (the tens), when you have found the tidy number you minus or plus how much you need to make it a tidy number. If you are doing addition, you do the opposite of what you did to the first number. It would be so much easier to add them together then.

But if you're doing subtraction, you do the same thing to the other one. Then you minus them.

Here is a example:

I learnt a lot and maths today was very fun!

My First Week Of Term 3 in Emojis!

In this Blog Post, I am going to do something a little different. Instead of writing a simple reflection, I'm going to select 3 emojis for what I have been feeling over this week.

Enjoy!

My first emoji is this one. I have chosen this sleepy, tired emoji to explain to you guys that I was super sleepy because I didn't sleep well the night before. I kinda waked up later than I expected myself to wake up, so I was probably late.



My second emoji is this one. I chose this grinning emoji because I was really excited and enthusiastic these few days at school. I played with my friends a lot and it was really fun! I was really excited because... there's Swimming Lessons coming up!

My third emoji is this one. I have chosen this sad emoji because nearly everytime I go to school, I get a tummy ache. Other times, it gets worse. Sometimes when I eat, I can't eat properly because I got a wobbly tooth and it hurts when I bite something hard with it.

Tidy Numbers Subtraction Strategies

What I Did

Today, Thursday 8th of June, I did Tidy Number Subtraction Strategies and decimals, and also word problems I had to solve. We had to finish a worksheet, and it had four parts on it. We had to choose a equation to do, and on the piece of paper, we have to solve the equation in three ways and write a story of the equation. One of them is 'Solve it Numerically', the other one is, 'Solve it Visually',  and the last one is, 'Solve it Another Way'.

What I Learnt

I learnt how to do Tidy Number Strategies and learnt how to do decimals as well. It wasn't that hard and it was very easy to do! 

For Example...

My Favourite Moment

My favourite was when I got to do the equations because I like doing math word problems and I liked the worksheet as well.

My Reflection

I learnt how to do Tidy Number 

Subtraction Strategies and decimals.

I remembered how to do it.
