Every Wednesdays all the grade sixes do four operation groups, every week we learn how to do different operations, I have improved with all my maths and I think that Dom has helped me heaps with the things that I’m not too good with.

This year I have been in Dom’s and Mr Graham timetables groups, we do them every Tuesday in room 12. We first have a race to see who can do 26 sums as quick as you can. Then we go outside for a maths game or we play maths games on our net books, I enjoy doing timetables groups at the end of the day.

I feel that I am very strong with my multiplication, addition, subtraction and division, I am not so sure about my fractions and decimals, I want to know how to do fractions and decimals better and learn how to do my timetables quicker.

In term 1 and 2 all grade six did a pizza activity, we had to draw a perfect circle as miss S showed the class and make what size you wanted it to be, then we started to put heaps of counters on to the sheet to represent the topping, we then counted how many and recorded it into our sketch books. We had to see how much of pizza would cost and how much would each piece would cost. In term 1 grade six did test cricket, we had to work in partners, and while one of the people rolled the dice the other recorded the data. We had to then go into paint dot net and draw a cricket pitch and draw lines to represent where the balls went.
