maths

Today we did maths. We went in a group of the same learning we did for week one and week two so we can learn stuff that we have not learned.

I went in week 2 with the money group.

They taught me stuff that I did not know. 

Money works in the place value system. New Zealand currency work in the 100’s place value system.  In New Zealand we use cents and dollars. NZ currency is 10 cents, 20 cents, 50, cents, one dollar, two dollars, 5 dollars, 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 50 dollars, and 100 dollars.

Money helps you use place value like If you buy a packet of pods that is 12.50 and you pay it with 20 dollars, the amount of money you get is 7.50

20 - 12.50

20 - 0.50 = 19.50

19.50 - 2 = 17.50

17.50 - 10 = 7.50

So 20 - 12.50 = 7.50

I like how we shared learning to learn other stuff. Spelman was very good at teaching becuase he used the whitebourd to be a good example. I learned how much a teacher struggles.
