GI Zoo Prices         Adult:              $14                                             Child under 12 : #

1. It cost the Naidoo family of 2 adults and 3 children $61 to go to the zoo. What is the missing price on the board?

14 + 14 = 28     61 - 28 = 33    33 ÷ 3 = $11

2. For 4 days of the week the zoo has a concession for schools. $10 each for the first 100 children and then $12 each for the others. What would a school pay if there are 127 children?

10 x 100 = 1000 so 12 x 27 = 324 so 1000+324 = $1324

3. On a Friday evening  the zoo has a special rate for  school children:for every paid 7 children 2 get to go in free.  What would it cost a school with  147 children?

147 ÷ 9 = 16 r 3  16 x 7 = 112  112 x 11 = 1232   1232 + 33 = $1265

In this game we had to do the Order Of Operations,

and that includes BODMAS. BODMAS stands for..

B - Brackets
O - Order
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

BODMAS is an Math strategy that can help you figure out some Math questions here is an example.

For me it was very confusing at first because I was new at it, I didn’t really know how I was supposed to use BODMAS but I tried anyway. At first my high score was 1.

I didn’t really mind at first but after I looked at everyone else’s screen they all had more than 1. That's when I really really wanted to try my best to get a better score. After my second try I finally got 3.

For me I think I did better than before because I’m not that good at BODMAS. Next time I’m going to learn more about it and hopefully get a way better score next time.

Speed Skills                                                      12 February 2016

Today during math time we went on a math site called “Speed Skills”.

Speed Skills is a website where we can learn our Addition, Subtraction, Mixed Multiplication and Division, Division and Remainder, and Order of Operations. There were also levels that you can click on. I clicked Level 4. When I first tried it was really hard, for me it still kinda is. But I hope I can get better at it soon.
