Learning about: Place Value

(LO: I can demonstrate my knowledge of Place Value)

So, last week in Math we focused on Place Value. But we weren't focusing mainly on, Ones, Tens, Hundreds and Thousands, not even Millions! We were focusing on the numbers that come after a decimal. When most of us were pretty confident we started working on a DLO. 

The words can be weird to pronounce at first but then you get the hang of it. At first, learning this was kind of confusing because the Place Value order kind of goes in reverse and there is no Units or One's column!

As you can see in the first column after the decimal there is a 6, the 6 represents 6/10 
In the second column after the decimal, there is a 4, the 4 represents 4/100
In the third column after the decimal, there is a 1, the 1 represents 1/1000 

Measurements

For our strand Maths we have been looking at measurement.

We have learnt that 1 metre equals 100 cm and that there are 1000 metres in a kilometer.

We have also learned how to measure objects around our school.

The most challenging thing about measuring is to get the position right, specially when they are different heights.

The activity I enjoyed most was getting to go outside and measuring whatever we like because we could measure anything we wanted.

My group measured 2 little fan things and it was pretty long/wide. This measurement can also be written as 243cm.
