Good evening Chickadees,

Well, what a week we have had with our Maths tasks this week. Many of you were quite excited about "sharing equally" using the correct language for the values of numbers.I believe using the base 10 materials really helped everyone understand the true value of numbers, depending on where they are postioned within a whole number.


 * YOUR TASK:

Is to complete the ten (10) equations at the bottom of this page in your WIKISPACE under your MATHEMATICS PAGE!!

Please DO NOT EMAIL the answers to me.

Remember if I set a task for you in my wikispace, you respond in your wikispace!!**

Explain this equation to either mum or dad or another family member (has to be someone old enough to understand-not your 2 year old cousin!!!)

SAY:

When we are sharing 564 apples "equally" among 6 people, we **DO NOT SAY** "six into five...."

WHY?

Because the 5 is **NOT** in the **ONES** column, it is in the **HUNDREDS** column so it is 5 hundred..

What we **DO SAY** is.... "6 people, can they share 5 hundred equally....?"

ANSWER: "**NO......** 6 people **CANNOT** equally share 5 hundred...because there are not enough, one person would miss out...."

So we have to **RENAME..."** 5 hundreds as 50 tens..."

There are already 6 tens in the tens column,

So we now ask: "...6 people, can they share 56 tens equally...?


 * YES** they can.

Six people receive 9 tens each and there are 2 tens left over....,

We now have to rename the 2 tens as 20 ones....,

There are 4 ones already in the ones column...,

Can 6 people equally share 24 ones...?


 * YES** they can...,

Each of the 6 people receive 4 ones.

There is nothing left over.

SO:

When we share 564 apples with 6 people, they receive 94 apples each.

WOW that amounts to alot of clean teeth!!!!

Now do the following equations **__USING THE CORRECT PLACE VALUE LANGUAGE__**, with your parents...

Start each sentence with

"Share....." 1. 66 apples with 6 people

2 286 chicken necks between 2 dogs

3. 265 playstation games with 3 children

4. 349 salad sandwiches with 8 adults

5. 141 nappies with 4 babies

6. 36 juice cups with 9 preps

7. $1892 with 3 people

8. $ 7456 with 11 people

9. $ 1900 with 10 people

10. 769 oranges with 7 netballers

Remember **PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT AND PERMANENT**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
