Addition / Place Value

Today for Mathematics we were learning about using Place Value to solve word problems. My word problem was 7656+1133. First I added the units which are 6+3 which equaled up to 9. After that I added the tens together which are 50+ 30 which added up to 90. Then I added up the hundreds which are 600+100 which equals 700. Then I added the thousands which are 7000+1000 which equaled 8000. Then I added 8000+700+80+9 which equal up to 8,789.

136 to 138 Words

Today I tried explain what the Winter Olympics are about. I need to remember to put the full stops in the right places.  

Today we used the ‘2 words 1 minute’ challenge to write a description about the Winter Olympics. After talking in pairs about the things we knew about the winter olympics we created a list of words (vocabulary) that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘equipment’ and ‘respect’ to help us think about what we were going to write.

We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 1 minute to put those ideas into sentences. We had to try our best to use all the words on our vocab list. After the minute was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

I did good in explaining what this story is about.

I need to remember to use full stops at the end of my sentence and put them in the right place.
