Luka's Maths Learning Story

Luka’s Maths  Learning Story Term 4 2019

How do we solve a problem as a group? 

Imagine this world with ount maths.

Eluama’s family in Tokelau tell him to get some coconuts. He climbs three different coconut trees.

He climbed 3.06m up the first tree, 3.97m up the second tree and 2.57m up the third tree. 

His friend climbed 3 different trees. The first one he climbed was 2.97m, the second one he climbed was 3.08m and the third one he climbed was 4.32m. 

Which of them did the most climbing that day?

First I am going to do 3x3.08=?  3X4.32=? 3X2.97=?  

But at the same time I didn't know how to multiply decimals or fractions.

So I wanted to look for other ways to solve this problem. The reason why I multiplied all of those wher because I thought It would be easier for me because I am multiplying the meters they climbed to how many trees they climbed witch wher 3 trees.

I haven't solved the problem but I know what I need to work on witch is knowing how to multiplying decimals and fractions.

I was good at looking for ways to solve the problem even do I have not solved it.  

I want you to know that I am good at
asking questions that could challenge myself because 

I know that Icould go further with the learning. 

I am also good at
sparking my ideas because
that is also something that can make my learning go further.
The key competency I use well
was thinking because I think of choices that make me get my work done.

I want you to know that I

need to work on finding out how

to multiplying decimals and fractions because I could get another
problem that I need

to use multiplying by decimals or fractions.

 I want you to know that I find it hard to multiply decimals and fractions.
