L.I to calculate Jessa's age; from when she was born to when she got her NAIDOC Award.
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.
