Lesson+7+by+Michelle+and+Shivon

Aram's Notes. The first task of today's lesson was getting everyone in pairs. All the pairs were given 4 of the 8 problems to solve.

this is the first set that half of the pairs got (set one)



this is the second set of problems Next, we we're given the challenge of making our own problems in that style of the ones we had done already. Then, a few people we're invited up to the board, to show there answers.

set one and two answers.

once everyone had made up their own problems all the pairs swapped with another pair.

Aram's Group's Problem: (picture here)

The problem - this was my group got (picture of the equation/ formula thing here)

we were then all asked if anyone had any problems that were really hard to do. Before that, our teacher showed us this problem- (picture of the problem here)

Then he asked us whether it was impossible and to give a reason. Rowiri said " it's impossible, because you have no way of knowing" Michelle said: " You have to many different answers e.g 6 = triangle and 2= circle " Danielle said: " infinitive answers"

Mr.Radonich then showed us how, if you know what the circle or the triangle equals. Then you know what the other shape equals. E.g. if the circle was four, then the 7-4= 3 triangle would have to be three! He wrote on the board: " if we know the value of the circle, then what can we say about the triangle?" we were the left to discuss this. Kyle said: " if we know the value of the circle, then we just have to subtract it from the total to get the value of the triangle" Lin said: " triangle = 7 - the circle. Mr.Radonich then went onto a maths site " Algebraic Reasoning" and showed us a problem.

find the value of the drums.

Jess J said: " the boxes = 6 and the drums are worth 4"

The second problem he showed us was this:

Find the value of three pears.

Jackson said: " 2 french ice blocks = 14, 59 - 15 = 45, 45 divided by 5 = 9, so three pears = 27.

Jess said "well the difference between thirty and forty eight, the differences between them is 18, and that's 2 pens, so 18 divided by 2 = 9. So 9 is one pen. In 86 there is 6 pens, 6 X 9 = 54, 86 - 54 = 32, there are four umbrellas so 32 divided by 4 = 8. one umbrella = 8!

jarrick enjoyed this maths lesson so much he couldn't take his smile off his face :D :D :D :D :D :D
