The task for maths was to find most of the strategies to solve addition, subtraction, mulitplication and division. We learnt about the different strategies of solving equations.
First, we were answering questions based on addition and subtraction. We thought of different ways to solve the questions with multiple strategies. Some of the strategies were: number line, written algorithm and skip counting.
Addition and subtraction, multiplication and division and ratios were the three different sections. There were 5 questions in addition and subtraction and ratios, but there were 9 questions in multiplication and division.
When we finished the questions we got them checked off blogged about the activity.

Questioning | Reading Strategy
Mr Wong's reading groups learnt about the four question types, which are right there, think and search, author and me and on my own.
First, Mr Wong's reading groups identified what the four question types were, and how to answer them.
Mr Wong's reading groups learnt that right there questions are questions in which the answer can be found right there in the text.
Next, we identified what think and search questions were. Think and search questions are questions in which the answer is in the text, but has been reworded.
Then, they talked about understanding 'author and me' questions. Author and me questions are questions in which the answer is not in the text, but the author has given clues to what the answer is.
Finally, we did the 'on my own' questions. On my own questions are questions in which the answer is not in the text and the answer may even need to be made up.
Each reading group was given a text/article to read. We were also given four questions asked about the text. We sorted the four questions under the right question type and provided potential answers. We also included information about where in the text we looked to find the answer.
Our answers were checked off and we were ready to blog.
