Maths - Subtraction Algorithims explained very well indeed.

I love this video it really clarifies the 'borrowing' a ten aspect.  Go from 2:05 for exemplar question 135-27.

Algorithms are cool but when you have a Gloss test if this is your only strategy then your mental maths is very limited. So branch out and learn other mental strategies as well. Come and ask me if you don't know any othermethodss to solve this question and I'll show you at least two others in only 1 minute.

Let me know how your teacher is doing in relation to this video. If you don't 'get' (comprehend) the video don't worry because others including myself will put it in simpler terms.

I really want you to reflect on your teacher's practise this year...be honest.  I can't improve without your thoughts. Maybe try and be honest in a kind way though, think about how you phrase your sentences.

Happy face making.

Multiplying & dividing by 10, 100 & 1000

Multiplying by 10, 100, & 1000 - strategy explained.

This is a great slide show and really explains the multiplication concept very well. Please don't just tell me to add zero's... I'll need more explanation than this. 

Maybe if you feel like an expert you might want to produce your own 'Explain Everything' and blog it. Remember you'll need top quality learning to show at parent-teacher interviews. This could be something to show.
