Learning Area 20



Maths - Basic Operations and Multiples

Today in Maths, Mr.Wegner talked to us about the Basic Operations used in number facts. Here is what we discussed:
Firstly, we came up with the 4 types of operations, then brainstormed other terms that mean the same thing.

Addition - add, sum of, plus.

Subtraction - minus, take away, difference.

Multiplication - times (tables), multiply.

Division - divide, into groups.

We then started to look at what multiples are - Mr.Wegner showed us this website as an introduction to how they work.

    What a great post - I really like the way you have formatted your text to make it clearer and the way you have added a picture, link and told us where the image is from. It looks great! :)
    So can you tell me which operation would you put these words under:
    PRODUCT and TOTAL ?

    I look forward to reading more.

    Hi Learning Area 20 people,

    How exciting that you have started your blog for the year. And to think that you haven’t had much access to the computers!

    This is a great post. What about the words ’share’ and ‘groups of’? Where do they fit into the basic operations? Sorry - I’m always the teacher.

    That is a really cool picture. I also love the hyperlink to ‘Maths 6 Spy Guys’. It’s a great site and I might even use it with my class.
    Here is something else you might like to try for your maths.
    Google (http://www.google.com.au/) the letters ‘nlvm’ (not the apostrophes) and click ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ - have a look in there and tell me what you think. I’ve checked (ticked) ‘Notify me of followup comments via e-mail’ so just leave another comment here and I will get it.

    BTW (By The Way) I’m the teacher of the miniLegends at Glenelg School. We have also just started our blog. http://alupton.edublogs.org/
    Last year’s blog was at http://alupton.wordpress.com/

    Cheers, Al

    one last thing - did you know that you have one of the most exciting, enthusiastic, well informed, highly skilled and well connected teachers in our state? He is what we call a ‘Leading Light’. You are very lucky and I bet Mr Wegner thinks you are all pretty cool as well.
