Comment Thread | Open & Closed questions

In our commenting session we created a response to room 4's comment.

First, we made a Google Document which included our comment that we were making. We needed to include the structure of a comment which is greeting, positive feedback and a question. We replied to the two questions room 4 asked us.

After that, we created closed questions then we made them into open questions. Next, we picked the one we liked better.

We created a reply to the question. Then we structured the comment. We put together the greeting, the positive feedback, the answer to the questions and the question.

I enjoyed making a comment to room 4.

Maths | Fractions

Fractions are the equal pieces that have been cut from a whole object. There are three different types of fractions: proper, improper and mixed number fractions.

Proper fractions are fractions in which the denominator is bigger than the numerator an example: 3/4 

Improper fractions are fractions that have their denominator less than their numerator an example 7/6 

Mixed number fractions are fractions that have a whole as well as a fraction an example 1 and 2/5.

Writing | Information report

This week we learnt about the structure of an information report, it has a Title, introduction, information and a conclusion.

We had to choose an animal and do some research on it, I chose a "Pufferfish"
a cool fact I found about this animal is that it could grow up to 4 feet long.

There are types of texts that people use they are called verbs, adjectives and nouns.

A verb is a doing or action word, for example: Run, sit, look etc.
An adjective is a describing word for example: Cold, warm, happy, etc

A noun is a name that belongs to something or someone for example: Sky, Sun, Kara, etc

Summerising means describing or giving the main points about something, it also helps by getting information.

Keywords means unlocking something, it unlocks the meaning of a sentence and helps you understand more.

Fraction & Decimals

Fractions are something that does not contain a whole number, Decimals means number less than one.

These are some fractions, 1/5, 2/8, 8/3, etc.

When using fractions usually you have to solve a problem by making it fair, sharing,same amount each, etc.  

For example if there was 4 people and 3.00 dollars you will need to share it by cents, the right amount it - 0.75. which is 3/4s if you divide each dollar by 4.

The relationship between decimals and fractions are from decimal you can divide the numerator to the denominator.

The Denominator comes from how many pieces, slices, etc, and numerator means how many parts are taken from that object,thing,etc. 

Fractions can be used a lot, usually when you share slices, etc.
