**__ 4 Operations __**

This term we have been doing 4 Operations; we split up into our 3 groups, with Dom/ Mr. Graham, Miss Scanlon and Miss Bates. We work on improving ourselves in the 4 Operations, (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division.) we did a test a while ago and got into our groups; I thought that I was in the wrong groups for Addition, Subtraction and multiplication, later on in the term we did another test. I think I am good in all the operations groups, but I need to remember to use the magic zeros in multiplication, because I sometime forget.

**__ Times Tables __** We have been doing times tables this year in groups. I am in Mr. Graham’s group, the highest group, I enjoy it and it is helping me memorise the times tables better. We do a test at the start, all you have to do is write the answers down on the paper and see what your time is on the white board timer, I the tables are scrambled and you have to try and beat your P.B. I need to properly learn my 6’s.

**__ Test Cricket & Pizza Maths __** In the first term we did test cricket, which we started off rolling dies to see what score you got, to making a cricket pitch and doing lines for the hits. We got our results from the dies game and graphed it, and then we went on our net books and created an oval with a cricket pitch. We drew colour co-orientated lines to say what hits we got. In the second term we drew pizzas and divided them into the amount of people in the family, we named our pizzas. We drew the family members on their pizza slice we also put their name underneath. We put toppings on and counted how many there were, and then prised how much two or more were E.g. One piece of pineapple-6 cents per piece. We added up how much each would cost then added them up for the grand total. Once we finished that we worked out how much each slice would cost, the added them together E.g. two pieces of Azza’s Auzzie is $3.27. The next thing we did was compete against a business and see who was cheaper in Small, Medium, Large and Family. Mine was cheaper with all of them. Here is my Pizza Maths:
