Mathematical Questions

What were the main mathematical concepts or ideas that you learned or that we discussed in class?

We learned as a class about, growing shapes, and finding out the 55th figure of each question 

These mathematical shapes I guess, grow bigger and bigger, and what we have to do is to not only say the answer of how many squares there are, but to also say how we found it.

Describe a mistake or misconception that you or a classmate had in class. What did you learn from this mistake or misconception?

I hardly had any mistakes this term in maths, but a mistake I have done was answer things too fast and find out that I wasn't supposed to do it that way.

What new vocabulary words or terms were introduced?

Find the figure to the answer???, Justifying your answer?.

There were many ways of what these shapes look like, just like the way they are put and the colour were used to make the pattern obvious.

Maths past problems

What we have been learning in maths

In maths we have been working on finding the area, of shapes, lengths and height. One thing that we learnt, was Compound area - busy in the back yard. This problem we have to solve is by looking at the metres and answering the questions. The questions talk about someone wanting to buy slate chippings to cover there entire path, 1 bag costs $140 and would be only able to cover 10m2, and we need to try and find out how much more we need to buy, to cover the rest.

What were the main mathematical concepts or ideas that you learned or that we discussed in class?

Compound Area, was one thing that I felt comfortable with in maths. I knew how to use metres and to solve them for different interesting questions, just like "A bag of seed costs $12 and covers 5m2 of lawn. How many bags of seeds will I need to buy and how much will it costs.?

Describe a mistake or misconception that you or a classmate had in class. What did you learn from this mistake or misconception. 

I had done a lot of mistakes while solving problems, I would always use a calculator for things that wouldn't solve a problem, when we could use different things like rulers or things that could solve metres, centimetres and other things. I wouldn't really say its a mistake but it's one thing I could get out of my brain one day.
