COPE what I have done this week

           COPE what I have done this week

      This week I have persisted in maths when things got hard like:
  • When I tried to print a worksheet and it wouldn’t work: I asked people to help me and when they said that they couldn’t I tried myself.
  • and when I got frustrated when I couldn’t answer a question: I kept on thinking about it and going back to try solve it.
  • and when I did the IKAN test: the questions went fast and I was put under pressure and I didn’t like it.
      I think I did well in persisting.

Inferencing

Inferencing is figuring something out that wasn't quite explained in the story. Inferencing is also thinking about what might happen next like this, Say a girl is just standing in the rain. "I think that the girl will find somewhere sheltered and wait." What do you think?

Whats a fraction?

A fraction is part of a whole number. Like this for instance:   1 ½ = 1 and a half. But cannot be used with a whole number. A whole number is a number that has no fraction at the end like 30 or 5.
A fraction is dividing things equally like this:  10 / 2 = ½ of 10
A fraction is the same thing as a decimal but instead of having a slash through the middle it has a dot like this:  1.5  Instead of 1 ½ .So if you're doing half as a decimal you do a .5 and if you’re doing half as a fraction you do a ½ .


Whats a proper and Improper fraction?    ( proper fraction)
                                                                     
A Proper fraction has a smaller number at the top of the slash like this:    ½
                                     (Improper fraction)
                                           
A improper fraction has a bigger number at the top of the slash like this:  5/4


What's a numerator and a denominator?
                                                                

A numerator is the number on top of the slash like this: 1/ 

A denominator is the number under the slash like this:    /2

A numerator shows how many parts you have. The bottom number is the denominator and shows how many equal parts the item has been cut into.
