I am learning to share what I learnt in Maths today!
Today in Maths, our Teach (Miss Aireen) was observed today.. in Maths! Miss Pines and also Mrs Sharma, came in and we were all given the same problem. The only thing was 4 parts of the problem needed to solved! So Miss Aireen split the students who were in the Math's lesson while she was being observed into 4 groups. In the problem we had to share...
- Seven bars between four children
- (7 divided by 4)
- Nine bars between 5 children
- (9 divided by 5)
- Five Bars between 3 children
- (5 divided by 3)
- Eight Bars between 5 children
- (8 divided by 5
The group I was working in, had the problem to share... 9 bars between 5 children! We used the strategy of.. firstly giving 1 bar to each child.. and because we gave 5 bars.. (9 - 5 = 4) we had 4 bars left over! So to evenly share out the bars between the 5 children.. we spilled the 4 leftover bars in 1/5 each. Then as we were adding the 1/5 of the bars together at the end we were able to come up with a total of 1 whole, and 4/5! I learnt how to divide a problem, where the number of things dived is bigger than the number of people, or things to be divided to!
Please leave a comment below, and if you another strategy of solving any of these problems.. please leave it also below!
Thank you for viewing, and I hoped you've enjoyed..
*Many Thanks*
