Revising our Learning about Maths

This week for maths we revised the learning we did two weeks ago. We needed to teach another person about our learning about the maths we were doing two weeks ago.

First, we partnered up with a different person to teach with, the first rotation was partnering with a person that did measurement. The person I partnered with was teaching me how to convert measurements. To convert its all about place value, to convert cetimeters (cm) into meters multiply the number by 10. Coverting is just using x10, x100, x1000, or divided by 10, divided by 100, divided by 1000. 

Then, we partnered up with a second person to teach with, the second rotation was partnering with a person that did money.The person I partnered with was teaching me how to use money in maths. To use money in maths, we use the written algorithm to solve the word problem. For example: Fotu has $75 and Farzana took $45, how much does Fotu has? To do this equation we take 75 and 40, so 75-40=35. Then, take the 5 and take it away like this: 35-5=30, so the answer for $75 - $45 = $30

The knowledge I taught for both my partners was Interpreting data and Frequency.  Interpreting Data is what people collect from a data set. A data set is the frequency of something. Frequency is the amount of something.

Some examples of a data set are tally chart and a graph. A graph explains the frequency of something. A tally chart also explains the same thing as the graph but tally charts has some questions. The questions are what is the likelihood of rolling a dice or something else? A tally chart also explains the largest frequency.  

To find data first ask/write questions down like what is the likelihood of rolling a dice. Example of this question is what is the likelihood of rolling a six. Then, roll a dice and note down each number the person roll on a tally chart. After, answer the following questions what is the likelihood of rolling a 6 and what number has the largest frequency? Then, create a graph about that data set.  


I enjoyed this weeks lesson and I wish I could have done better teaching. I will rate my teaching a 7 or 8 out of 10.
