Maths


WALT: solve multiplication problems using place value partitioning

There are 8 pencils in a box. AJ has 15 boxes of pencils.
How many pencils are there altogether?

15 x 8 = ?

10 x 8 = 80

5 x 8 = 40

80 + 40 = 120

To solve this problem, I used place value partitioning. I
multiplied 10 by 8 and I got 80 as the answer. Then,
I multiplied 5 by 8 and I got 40 as the answer. Then
I added 80 and 40 and I got 120. So AJ has 120 pencils
altogether.

Week 1 of Term 1 2020

Week 1 of Term 1 - 2020

Hi, my name is Jason. My first day of school was exciting because I was going to a new class with my teacher from 2019. 

This year I am in Room 10 and my teacher is Mr Nath. I am year 6 now. I am very happy to be in room 10.  I am in Mr Nath's class with some of my friends from last year.

My goals for this year are to learn more English and become smarter in reading and writing.

I would also like to read more books and make  more friends.
