Maths E-asttle Test 2015

This is my 2015 e-asttle maths test.  I am not proud of the results because I got a 3P.  I am also not very proud of my result because I am under the nz mean for my year level.  For this test, I would have liked to get at least a 4 because I am a year 8 and that is good for when I go to college.  This means I still have some learning to do.  Nextime I do this test, I would like to get at least a 4.  

Equation Problem

Today, we learned about make a word sentence for equation problems.  We had to choose a equation and write a problem for it.  Then we had to figure out the answer.  I chose from easy to hard.  I chose the easy one to get knowledge of the equation.  Then I moved to a harder equation to challenge myself.  It was a bit easy but there were other ones that were harder.  I would like to learn more like this.

E-asttle Maths 2015

This is my e-asttle maths test.  In the test, I did a level 3 - 4.  As seen in the screenshot, I am below the national standard.  I just needed to know a bit more so I could get to the national standard.  I am a 3A.  The level I should be at is at least a 4 because I am a year 8.  This means I need to learn more to get a 4.

Subtraction and Addition

This game is about Subtraction and Addition problems.  In this game, you get 5 problems and you have to solve them.  The answer to this one is 9.  If 6 children were jumping rope, then 5 joined in, it would be 11 children jumping.  Then 2 left and 2 - 11 = 9.  9 children were jumping rope.  This game was very fun and easy.  I would like to play more games about timetables.

Monster Crossing Addition

This game is called Monster Crossing.  In this game, there is a word problem.  When the game starts, you have to lead the monster to the correct number.  You have to watch out for the cars and trucks when you cross the road.  You only have 3 lives.  The answer to to this problem is 13.  6 + 7 = 13.  I got this answer by 7 + 7 = 14 then takeaway 1 from the seven to get 6.  This game is a fun and easy game to play.  I would like to play more games like this.  I would like to learn more about solving problems in fractions.

Picture Graph 2

This game is about Picture Graphs.  In this game, you have to know some your skip counting.  In this problem, the answer is $325.  I got the answer because I counted how much money Albert got and counted the leftover cash.  At the top it gives you a hint.  3 whole notes are $300 and 1/4 of the note is $25.  This game was fun and challenging.  I would like to play more games like this.

Picture Graph

This game is a Picture Graph game.  In this game you have to know some of your tables and skip counting.  In this problem, it gives you a hint so the answer is 15.  I know the answer because a bike is 2 kilometres and 1/2 of a bike is 1 kilometre.  I had to count in twos until I got to the 7th bike.  14 + 1 = 15 kilometres.  Also 2 x 7 = 14.  Then add the 1 to get 15.  This game was very fun to play.  I would like to play more games like to so I can learn more about graphs.

Fractions on a Number Line

This game is called Fraction Number Line.  In this game you have to put the fractions on the number line the correct way.  I found this game quite hard but there some fractions that were easy to put on the number line.  For example, I put the 1/2 in the middle of the number line because there are 2 equal lines and I put the 1 whole and the end because it means 1.  I would like to play more games like this because I need to learn more about fractions on a number line.

Fruit Shoot

This game is called Fruit Shoot.  In this game you have to shoot the correct fruit with a decimal that matches the fraction given above.  There are 4 different modes you can choose in this game.  The answer for this one is 0.7 because it matches 7/10.  To get the answer, you have to shoot the answer by clicking on it.  My highest score on this is 78.  This game is a fun learning game for people who need to learn their fractions and decimals.  I would like to play more games like this.  

Studyladder - Maps

Today I am on Studyladder learning about how to read a map.  This all about kilometres and how many minutes it will take to go to the places on the map.  The answer to this problem is Victree.  This was an easy problem because Victree was the closest town to Glenswood.  When I finished the game, I got 2 wrong and 8 right.  I will need to learn more about measurements so I can get 10 right the next time I play.  I would like to learn about decimals next time I play Studyladder.

Christmas Lights

This game is called Christmas Light. In this game you have to get as many answers right to cover each house with the christmas lights. In this stage, it is level 2 medium addition. The answer to this sum is 10. I would like to play more games like this because it is fun.

Walk The Plank

This game is called Walk the Plank.  In this game you have to figure out what the answer is to the sum given above.  The answer to this sum is 14.  I figured this out like this.  7 - 3 = 4.  3 - 2 = 1.  So adding them together makes 14.  This game was very easy for me.  Nextime I play math games, I want to learn more about angels and shapes.

Brainie

This game is called Brainie.  In this game you have to look t the number on the side and add the numbers to get the number.  For example, if the number on the side is 14, I could go 7 + 7 but I don't have any sevens so I could go 5 + 5 = 10 + 6 - 2 = 14.  If I do that more of the numbers will go away and I will have a higher score.  If you want to play this game, here is the link: http://www.coolmath-games.com/0-brainie/index.html

Rounding and Compensating

This week in maths,we are learning to round and compensate numbers.  Rounding and compensating numbers is hard and easy.  For example, 45 + 28 = ? you have to plus 2 to 28 so you 30 because the nearest number to 28 is 30.  45 +30 = 75.  Then you have to take away 2 from 75 so its 75 - 2 = 73.  I need to learn this because if something like this pops up in college, I can remember what I did in primary school.  This is the worksheet we were learning how to round and compensate numbers:

Egg Fractions

This game is called Egg Fractions.  This game is suitable for 7 - 11 year olds.  In this game you have to look at the drawn fractions and match the drawn fractions to the fraction below.  The answer to 1/4 is the drawn fraction in the middle.  This game was very easy for me because I know my fraction.  There are many stages to choose from but I chose this one.  I would like to play games like this because it helps people learn new things.  If you want to play the game, this is the link:

Fraction Models

This game is called Fraction Models.  In this game, you can make your own fraction and figure out what it is.  You can choose how many lines on the fraction you want.  I chose 3 lines and made into a quarter fraction.  Then you can click on the fraction to make some parts of the fraction shaded.  I made the fraction into 2/4.  At the right corner you can change the mode to Length, Area, Region and Set.  I think this game would be good for kids who are learning their fractions.  I would like to learn more about LCM.

Fraction Monkeys

This game is called Fraction Monkeys.  In this game you have to match the monkey with the fractions on the number line.  1/2 is the same as 2/4 because 2 is half of 4 so I would have matched 1/2 with 2/4.  I found this game a bit challenging because every level you complete gets harder so it gets more challenging.  This game is very good because you can learn more things about fractions.  I would like to learn more about the square root of numbers.  This is the link to the game:

Bamzooki Basic Fractions

This game is called Bamzooki Basic Fractions.  In this game you have to move the Bamzooki to the correct fractions.  If the circle has three parts shaded, there is 1 part that is not shaded so that means that the answer is 3/4.  This game was really easy for me but in this game it has a time limit which makes it harder to get points.  I would like to learn about more fractions in games like this one.

Fractions as parts of a set

Today in this game I am learning to find a fraction of a set.  In this game, you have to match the word fraction to the shape fraction.  If 1/3 is selected you have to try and match it with the drawn fraction.  This game was really easy for me because I know these fractions because they are easy fractions.  The next fraction game I want t play, must be harder for me so I can get a better knowledge for fractions.

Division - Candycaspers

This game is called Candycaspers.  In this game you have to try and get all the candy in each level.  When you get a candy, a division problem will pop up.  Each candy in each level will have

different problems.  For example, if you get 3 divided 4, you will get a harder problem in a different level.  This game was very easy for me.  Nextime I play maths games, I want to learn about decimals.
