Exponents Challenge

L.I To understand how to use exponents.

This week for maths we have been learning about exponents. The exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number. Our challenge this week was to find out how many heads the lerna Hydra character would grow in a certain amount of days. In 3 days the lerna Hydra grew 8 heads...In 10 days the Learna Hydra grew 1,024. I enjoyed this activity as we all collaborated together to get the answer.

Maths Challenge

L.I To use the most efficient strategy to solve the maths questions.

This week for maths, we were given another fun maths challenge. For this challenge I worked collaboratively with Lukah to get this DLO completed. This challenge was to find out how many fish Hemi had caught in a certain amount of hours. Also we write down the rule to how we figured the question out. E.g (Skip counting in 20's) When you write that, it shows people that you skip counted in 20's to get your answer. I enjoyed doing this activity as I got to collaborate with Lukah to solve these questions.

Maths Challenges

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to solve the problem.

Today Haylee, Sakina and I worked collaboratively to complete this maths challenge. The task was to find the most efficient strategy to solve the maths challenge.  For this task we had 3 separate questions, for all of the questions we used division to help us figure out the answers.  We all did this collaboratively as we all did a question each. I enjoyed this activity as we all helped each other out.
