Expanded numerals & Solving word problems Maths Week 5 Term 3 2021

 This week one thing we have been  learning in maths is how to write expanded numbers. Another way of saying this is ‘expanded form’ or ‘expanded notation’. They all mean the same thing. It’s like you have to break the numbers up into their place value parts and then put + symbols in between them. Example: 7239 =7000+200+30+9.

Another thing we have been  learning in maths is how to solve word problems involving combinations of things. You had to be able to write addition equations showing as many different   combinations as we could. 

Some people found it was useful to do your figuring out using a table. But not the kind of table you eat off-a mathematical table.

Here is my work.

The Smartest Giant In town

  In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: the smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.

  It was about being kind.

 I chose to draw a map with Phoebe, Stella & Sienna M. I also choose to write about The kind giant.
