Converting Ratios
Fika -
WALT: convert the ratios into the simplest form.
Write each ratio in its simplest form
Eg 1: 12 to 36 = 12 x1 : 12 x 3 (divides by 12 both sides)
1 : 3
Eg 2 : 35 : 15 = 5 x 7 : 5 x 3 (divided by 5 both sides)
7 : 3
25 to 125 = 25 x 1 : 25 x 5 = 1 : 5 | 24 : 72 = 24 x 1 : 24 x 3 = 1 : 3 |
45 to 180 = 45 x 1 : 45 x 4 = 1 : 4 | 14 : 56 = 14 x 1 : 14 x 4 = 1 : 4 |
36 : 12 = 12 x 3 : 12 x 1 = 3 : 1 | 28 to 56 = 28 x 1 : 28 x 2 = 1 : 2 |
14 : 56 = 14 x 1 : 14 x 4 = 1 : 4 | 42 : 21 = 21 x 2 : 21 x 1 = 2 : 1 |
15 : 30 = 15 x 1 : 15 x 2 = 15 : 2 | 33 : 55 = 11 x 3 : 11 x 5 = 3 : 5 |
58 to 174 = 58 x 1 : 58 x 3 = 1 : 3 | 90 to 150 = 30 x 3 : 30 x 5 = 3 : 5 |
21 to 84 = 21 x 1 : 21 x 4 = 1 : 4 | 70 to 140 = 70 x 1 : 70 x 2 = 1 : 2 |
13 : 65 = 13 x 1 : 13 x 5 = 1 : 5 | 15 : 75 = 5 x 3 : 5 x 15 = 5 : 15 |
30 to 90 = 30 x 1 : 30 x 3 = 1 : 3 | 51 to 153 = 51 x 1 : 51 x 3 = 1 : 3 |
75 to 150 = 75 x 1 : 75 x 2 = 1 : 2 | 40 to 160 = 40 x 1 : 40 x 4 = 1 : 4 |
10 : 90 = 10 x 1 : 10 x 9 = 1 : 9 | 12 : 60 = 12 x 1 : 12 x 5 = 1 : 5 |
44 : 55 = 11 x 4 : 11 x 5 = 4 : 5 | 29 : 37 = 1 x 29 : 1 x 37 = 29 : 37 |
12: 8 = 4 x 3 : 4 x 2 = 3 : 2 | 2: 20 = 2 x 1 : 2 x 10 = 1 : 10 |
3: 36 = 3 x 1 : 3 x 12 = 1 : 12 | 8: 16 = 8 x 1 : 8 x 2 = 1 : 2 |
10: 50 = 10 x 1 : 10 x 5 = 1 : 5 | 100: 10 = 10 x 10 : 10 x 1 = 10 : 1 |
10: 60 = 10 x 1 : 10 x 6 = 1 : 6 | 35: 45 = 5 x 7 : 5 x 9 = 7 : 9 |
21: 49 = 7 x 3 : 7 x 7 = 3 : 7 | 20: 40 = 20 x 1 : 20 x 2 = 1 : 2 |
my reflection - term 2
Success:
Math
This term I have enjoyed doing maths because I have learnt
many things from doing maths like different types of
strategies and topics. I know how to simplify improper
and proper fractions, how to find the circumference of
a circle, how to simplify improper fractions into a mixed
fraction, and how to solve math equations.
I also like to do bedmas because it is more challenging
and harder with 4 operations.
I like to use algorithms because it is easier for me to
solve mathematical equations if I don’t know what it equals to.
Improvement:
Reading:
I need to improve my reading by asking critical
questions and getting better at predicting and
inferring what I'm reading.
Writing
In writing I need to improve my writing by using
figurative language and using more details when
I am writing an exposition.
Using more compound, complex and connectives.
I also need to work on using more interesting words
and timely connectives in my recount.
Using varieties of punctuation such as capital letters,
comas in the right place and other punctuation.
Maths
In maths I need to improve my problem solving
and apply my knowledge to it.
I need to show and explain my work in a way that
other people can understand.
Obstacles:
The thing that is stopping me from doing my work is I am
easily getting distracted by those around me and talking to
them so I need to be able to manage myself better rather
than easily getting distracted.
My Favourite Topic:
My favourite topic in school is maths because maths is a
common subject that I can do and that I enjoy the most.

dawn raids
In the few past weeks I have been learning about Dawn raid and how the government treated them. This is my example of Dawn Raid shown on Pixton.
maths
I have been learning how to simplify proper and improper fractions. It was a bit challenging for me because to simplify the improper fractions you have to convert it into mixed fractions but once I kept on simplifying improper fractions I got used to the strategy being used.
