End of basic facts 2016

Here is a copy of my last basic facts test for the rest of the year.
I am working at  level 6 stage 3. At the begging of the year, I was working at the begging of the year level 1 Stage 4.

My strategy

STRATEGY STAGE 5  Bailey

Early Additive - Part-Whole

This first section is about addition and subtraction.  I can do this.   I can’t do this yet.

Solve simple problems mentally using basic facts they know: - Doubles: 8+7 = 8+8-1	8 + 7 =	Solve this problem using the doubles strategy.	6 + 7 =
- Fives:	Example: 8+7= 5+3+5+2	Solve this problem using the fives strategy.	7 + 6 =
- Making Tens:	Example: 8+7=8+2+5	Solve this problem using the Making Tens strategy.	7 + 5 =
Solve 2&3 digit problems by: -Tidy Numbers:	Example: 29+18 as 30+17	Solve this problem using the Tidy Numbers strategy.	37 + 15 =
- Place Value:	Example: 33+16 as 30+10+3+6	Solve this problem using the Place Value strategy	37 + 15 =
-Using rounding and compensating to solve addition problems	Example I can solve 29  + 29 = by doing 30 + 30 =60 Then, 60 - 2 = 58 So, 29 + 29 = 58	Solve this addition problem using rounding and compensation.	19 + 19 =
I can use rounding and compensating to solve subtraction problems	Example I can solve 28 - 9 = by doing 28 - 10  =18 Then, 18 +1 = 19 So, 28 - 9 = 19	Solve this subtraction problem using rounding and compensation	37 - 9 =
Reflection/Comment: There aren’t any answers on here as you worked these out on paper and this page just shows whether or not you could solve certain kinds of problem. You got 6/7 which is pretty good. You are definitely ready to move up to Stage 6 thinking but you do need to re-do some lessons about rounding and compensation. Mrs B😀 I am quite happy with how I did. 😕
Strategy Stage 5  Level 2       This is what I can do and  what I can’t do yet.
This next section is about multiplication and division.    Bailey T4 2016
Solve problems by: - using repeated addition with problems involving 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and 10’s at least	Example: 6 x 5 = 5 +5+5+5+5+5 =	Solve this problem by using the Repeated Addition strategy.	6 x 4 =
- or forming the factors when the basic fact is known	Example: I know that 6 x 5 = 30  so I can solve this missing number problem. 6 x ______ = 30	Solve this missing number problem by using this known fact.	8 x 4 = 32 So 8 x _______ = 32
The next section is about fractions.
- Find a fraction of a number by trial and improvement with addition facts	Example: ⅓ of 12 =	Solve this fraction problem by using addition facts.	What is ¼ of 8?
- Find fractions of shapes and lengths including fractions greater than 1	Example: This shape shows ½ These shapes show 1  and a half	Draw a shape to show Draw shapes to show	¼ 1 and a quarter
Reflection/Comment:  There aren’t any answers on here as you worked these out on paper and this page just shows whether or not you could solve certain kinds of problem. You need to go back to Maths Buddy and re-do some exercises about finding fractions of numbers, shapes and lengths, especially fractions which are bigger than 1. Mrs B😀 I’m happy that I did well in multiplication. Fractions are tricky.😕

Soft ball term 4

This is an activity we did when we were learning how to play soft ball

Something I think I have done well is bating but

next time I think I could improve is running

Tourism

Kia ora, here is a presentation I made about tourism in NZ. We had to investigate tourism activities which were based on the sea/sea animals. Plus: I got to work with clever, helpful cousins. Minus: It was hard finding the right answers to some questions. Interesting:  There was real-life earthquake last week which damaged real-life tourist activities based on the sea in Kaikoura.
