Maths Rich Task - Jola's Birthday Party

This week for maths Ms Kirkpatrick has set us another Maths Rich Task. In my perspective I think this was the easiest problem I've ever solved. First we were to solve three problems based on a birthday party. The skill we used to solve this problem was our division and multiplication skills. After solving the three problems we then had to pick one of the problems to make a DLO on. Ofa and I have decided to choose the last problem which talks about how many eggs each person that attended Jola's birthday should get. Each box holds 6 eggs and we had to figure out if 50 eggs would be enough for 8 of the guest. Our answer and our working out is on the DLO. 

Division Dilemmas

This week we have been learning three strategies. The strategies were division, Multiplication and Estimation.
We had to work in groups of three. My partners were Mia and Ofa. We had to work together to find the answer for the equations using three different strategies.

BEDMAS

Today for maths I created a DLO on BEDMAS. Bed is an order of operation and it has six different operations. BEDMAS stands for Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. I learnt that you always have to start with the Brackets when solving a equation and then after that you have to solve the Exponents. There is a extra equation for you to solve. When you get the answer comment how you solved it and I will tell you whether you got it right or wrong.
