Rocket Ship Blast Off

Today for maths, Mr Orgivelle groups had to play a game called Rocket Ship using the Place Value House Number Columns which are the Ones Column, Tens Column, and the hundreds Column. First you have to roll the dice and for example if you get a nine you have to put it in one of the Ones, Tens and hundreds column boxes. You don't put it in any boxes, you have to think where you put it because the number has to go smallest to biggest like, 201, 403, 506, 578, 993. Our learning was to apply our Place Value Knowledge.

L.I: To use the Place Value House to solve equations.

Place Value House

L.I To use the Place Value House to solve equations.

Today for Maths we had to make a DLO using the Place Value House to solve Addition and Subtraction equations. Solving these equations we had to write little description showing what's happening. We also had to have another way to solve our subtraction and addition equations. I learnt how to move numbers left or right and learnt how to solve subtract and add equations by using my own strategy.

Using A Place Value House

Today for maths my group Wakatipu are focusing on using a Place Value House to solve equations. For this task We had to answer three questions which included: What is a place value, How does it work, and How you use it to solve problems. We also had to explain how to solve equations by using the Place Value House. I learnt that when you add and multiply it goes bigger and it moves to the left of the Place Value House and if it is subtracted it moves to the Right of the Place Value House.
