Decimal Addition Algorithm

Group 2 in LS2 has been revising on decimal addition algorithm. In this blog I will be explaining how to use decimals in algorithm addition.

If you’re wanting to learn how to do this, I recommend learning basic addition algorithm as this is about the same, and learning that would make this much easier to master.

The first step is to put it in the right postition which will be showed in the later on DLO.

Second, would be to start from the right (decimal side) and add the numbers in the same row, then add the number. Remember if the number is 2 digits carry the tens to the next top number of the row.

Repeat this step until the last row and don’t forget the decimal point.

Letter to Grandma – Chapter 5

LI: To vary our sentence lengths to create pace and impact

Our challenge was to write a letter from Bruno to Grandma to help us practice our sentence structures. We used our raeding text “The Boy in the Stripes Pyiamas” to make our reason for writing real.

Me and my partner created a DLO about the letter from Bruno to Grandma. Me and my partner wrote the letter with simple and compound sentences.

 

Tech

Last week at Tech on Friday, LS2 went back for another session of learning. We had a substitute teacher who organised different activities for us,  such as word searches and colouring in, Because our normal teacher was away. Even though we didn’t get to continue our Māori weaving projects, we still had the opportunity to stay focused and complete the tasks we were given. The activities were a bit different from our normal routine, which made the session feel new and interesting. It also gave us a chance to practise working independently and managing our time. Although it felt unusual not working on our weaving, I still made sure to stay on task and do my best. I’m looking forward to getting back to our weaving next time and continuing my design.

Rounding

Group 2 in LS2 have been revising on round numbers up to the billions.

Rounding is a useful skill to estimate. In this blog, we will be teaching you how to round. You need to know place values were you can find our example in our earlier blogs. To round you need a base number, I’ll pick a random one. (482.119) if rounding and you see a question asking to round to the nearest tenth you need to realise that the “th” means that it is in the decimal, not the whole number. in this number rounding to the nearest tenth would be the 1 after the 9 in the decimal place. due to the number being higher than 4, we round up. which is rounding to the nearest tenth. which would be 20 in this case. This would change the number to 482.120. I hope that this blog has taught you how to round.
