Problem Solving!!!

WALT: Find a fraction of a number

To solve these problem's I had to find a fraction of a number. I learnt how to read a maths problem and then convert it into a math equation, I did this with my friend Revival, Yvonne and Venetia. Two of us in a group did a card each. We had to Participate and work together to find out what the answer is. At the end of the day our results were good and we all agreed to the answer. Hope you enjoyed My friends and I problem solving.

WALT: Find a fraction of a number

I learnt that if you have more than one question that can be solved the same way, you can look back at the other ones to solve it again. That is what I did in the problem solving to solve my answer and to improve on my maths to get better and better. I hope that I can learn more interesting things about maths, and hope to share to you.
