Namaste fellow blogging friends,
We are learning how to solve wฬฒoฬฒrฬฒdฬฒ pฬฒrฬฒoฬฒbฬฒlฬฒeฬฒmฬฒsฬฒ using tables. When I say tables I mean the one you can make on google drawings/slides/docs, not the ones you put things on. We had to listen to Mrs Mundy because she was explaining to us what we are learning, she then read the first question out to us as she casted it to the TV. While the problem was on the TV she said that one person from each table will get the scrap papers for us to have one each, we had to copy the table from the question onto the paper and work it out. there were many columns for our thinking, the main question was “If there are 156 goldfish hatched in a year how many will be females?” and the information we already knew is that for every seven female goldfish born, only five male goldfish were born. So in my table I started by writing down the 2 numbers given (7 and 5) and added them together which made 12, so then I times it by 10, then I had 50 60 and 120. I then times it by 11 then 12, and I still didn’t have 156 in total so I decided to add 6, and 9 to my number I already had, and I got my answer, my answer was 65 male goldfish. For the rest of the Math Problems are on this slide:
I found this all challenging at first but then I started to understand it more as I went through the problems. I really enjoyed Question 14 because that was a real challenge for me so I am proud of myself for getting the answer correct.
