Today I am doing the Summer Learning Journey's Day 1 Activity 2. The Summer Learning Journey is a program that helps children keep track of their learning during the holidays. I am glad that my school is participating because, the school can get more recognition and the students can learn all different sorts of things. My school(Panmure Bridge School) has had a great job with doing the Summer Learning Journey, so we are hoping to have another great year.
For this activity we were asked to calculate the ages o Jessa; from when she was born to when she had got her NAIDOC award. The Equation that we had to solve was :
7 April 1985 + ? = 9 July 2010
My Strategy:
First I took away 9 by 7 : 9 - 7 = 2
Then I added 7 and 2 : 7 + 2 = 9
The Final answers was 2 days.
I went on to the Months and made a number line. I counted from April until July. May, June, July,
The Final answer answer is 3 months.
The final thing that I had to do was calculate the years. I had to find out 1985 + ? = 2010.
First thing I did was add 20 to 1985 : 1985 + 20 = 2005.
from there I added 5 to 2005 : 2005 + 5 = 2010.
Lastly I added 20 and 5 because those were the numbers that were needed : 20 + 5 = 25.
25 years 3 months 2 days.
Hi Sulia, this is Mrs Collins again from Manaiakalani and I'll be commenting on blogs over term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year. Here's my workings out on the problem...
ReplyDelete1985 > 2010 = 25yrs
7th April > end of April = 23 days
May = 31 days
June = 30 days
> 9th July = 9 days
= 23+31+30+9= 93 days
April = 30 days, May = 31 days, June = 30 days (92 days)
2 days left over
= 25 yrs, 3 months and 2 days.
Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
Hello again Sulia! Well done on this activity and being able to work out the equation. Your strategy was easy to follow and very understandable. Did you find the question hard? I think it definitely looked a bit difficult until I got my answer. Well done!
