L3 Math

Kia ora, this week my math group and I have been learning a new goal. Our goal is called, Solve a fraction of a whole number question, like 5/8th of 24. At first I found it extraordinary hard, but wanted to figure it out. Our teacher likes to hear how WE figured it out, and if we disagree or agree. She also likes to hear why and how we solved a question. One of my classmates used division, and I used timetables. Any way I thought I might make a video on how I would solve a question.

So my question is 4/8 of 50.

When I looked at the number, I immediately new that 1/2 of 8 is 4 . 

So that means that 1/2 of 50 is 25.

Which means that 4/8ths of 50 is 50 

Please tell me how you would have done it and if I got it correct or wrong.

The Toy Cat

 Hello, so last week we had to write a retell  a story about a firefighter that saved a Kitten, but the weird this is, it was real!!! 

To edit we used ARMS, ARMS is, add, remove, move and substructure. I found this strategy really easy to use.  

 “We have a fire!!!”As my weighted boots traveled closer to the door, my heart skipped a beat. Hazy smoke covered the whole room, which made my breathing harder than an asthma attack!Ceiling boards came down. Installation surrounded the floor ,and the walls blackened ! Then as I turn my light on ,I search for signs of life in the room, but in the corner of the bem I spot a very small figure that looks like a toy cat…

As soon as I get closer, it hits me. The small figure is a little kitten! I pick it up and rush outside to try to revive the small cat. Straight after I get out the door, I grab a gas tank, plus a small breathing mask…

Once I have gathered all of the equipment I lay the cat on the ground, to attach the breathing mask to the kitten's mouth. While the oxygen was trailing from the tank to the kitten, I poured some cold water onto its fur to cool it down and to try get some of the blackened ash that covered i,t off.This was so close to a miracle, because out of know where this little furry paw comes to greet me. A wave of relief also comes to greet me, and this time I put the once toy cat now living creacher in my arms.
