Multiplication:
===For the past two weeks we have working and learning about multiplication and division.Multiplication: For the first week we learnt about column multiplucation. It wasnt that bad but when it got harder i learnt more new things. Knowing your times tables helps alot. If you get one little mistake it can cost you the right answer. You have to make sure you are confident in your times tables so you get the correct answer.===

Division:
===For the past 2 days we have been working on short division. We moved up a step and started to divide more numbers together. I have been working on remembering to carry number across. I have also learnt that three numbers are a group. ===

Fractions:
=== This week we have been working on fractions. The first thing and the only thing we have completed is a fraction game. one with proper fractions and another with equivelent fractions. We also had to compete a fraction wall. We had to colour it, laminate it and cut it. The epuipment we needed for the fraction game is 2 10 sided dice. a small paper fraction wall, coloured pencils and your brain. The proper fraction game i worked with Tiarna and the equivelent fractin game i played with Emma. The top number is called the numerator, the bottom denomintator and the line between them is called the vinculum. I found out that each type of faction is very had to explain. You also have to use the proper fraction language. The past week or two we have been adding fractions with the denominator different and the denomintor the same. ===

Perimeter:
=== For 2 whole weeks i have been learning about perimeter. We started just working out the perimeter of a regular shape. But as the days went on we started to do irregular shapes. At the start i though 'oh yeah this is really easy' but i didnt think that for the other days. At the end of perimeter we did a portfolio sheet on perimeter. We had to draw a house with a certain perimeter. It was really hard. === === media type="custom" key="6426537" align="center"

term 3!! tessalations: A tessalation is shapes that join together to make a patt ern. You can add colour and texture to it aswell. We learned about tessalations for about 2 weeks and they started to look really good. prime numbers: A prime number is a number that can only be divisable by 1 and itself. We worked on prime numbers for about 1 week and we learned heaps about them. We learned what numbers were prime numbers. And we figured that there is only 1 even prime number which is 2 ===
