Numeracy Reflection T2W3 2017

Numeracy Reflection
WALT: Use a variety of strategies (compensation/ partitioning/ adjusting)

Maths Check ups: This week there has been a lot of MATHS. Not quite DLO (digital learning object) work but a bit like tests except not on paper these were called maths check ups. For the maths check ups there was, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction, Plus two more for division. These were all easy at the start but then got harder and harder Which made it more challenging. In my opinion the test wasn't the worst, it was a little bit hard but other wise than that it was ok. Here are some pictures of my work.

Welcome Back

Welcome back to my blog. It's term 2 now after a long two weeks of holiday. This first week has been great lots of things have happened like: Miss Panther has gone and there is a new teacher called Miss Reissman.
