LI: To subtract fractions

For today’s Maths learning activity, Group 2 learnt how to subtract fractions. We first explored and were guided by watching a video created by Maths with Mr. J. When we gathered our understanding and our experience of subtracting fractions, we started on attempting worksheets that include subtracting fractions. Group 2 did pretty great on subtracting fractions when we first attempted on the equations, and that we finished of by making a DLO about our Maths learning, which is all about subtracting fractions. Above here is a picture of the DLO that our Group has created.

I found this activity very challenging and brilliant because of learning about using other maths ways in order to calculate the answer.

Trip to Auckland War Memorial Museum

Today’s inquiry learning activity took place at a trip to the Auckland Museum. The reason was because we were learning about making wise choices when a volcanic eruption happens. The main point of the challenge was that, me and my group had 30 seconds to pack everything that we would need in order to survive a volcanic eruption. The items that were there to pack were, toys, can of food, hole punch, torch, can opener, pan, gloves, cat, muesli bar, cat food, goggles, bottle of water, tea towel, first aid kit, mask and colouring book. The goal was to evacute safely along with the items we need, and to survive the volcanic eruption in 30 seconds.

I found this activity pretty challenging and interesting because when me and my group attended this challenge, we practically packed every single item that was there.
