Multiplication problem solving.

Last week our class was doing some problem solving. We were learning how to solve multiplication problems by using different strategies.

Here is one of my questions that I solved with my maths mate.
4x54

I have decided to use the strategies place value and rounding and compensating.

Here is my strategy for rounding, and compensating.

4x54=216

+(4x6)=24

4x60=240

240-24(4x6)=216

This is my strategy for place value.

4x54=216

4x50=200

4x4=16

200+16=216

Hope you learned something from this.

Thank you ^_^

Diorama

Last term for Home Learning we constructed Red Rocks Dioramas to show our understanding of the novel we read "Red Rocks". At the end of last term we bought our creations to school and we enjoyed sharing them with our class and other Legend classes. My scene shows the part when Jake went to the movie theatre, because his dad was talking with Cara and he didn't want to get interrupted. The things I used to make my diorama were an egg box, shoe boxes, paper, toys and Happy Meal boxes we got from McDonalds and some cards that we got from Countdown.

Here is a photo of my finished Red Rocks diorama.

You can read a book, and make a diorama as  well.
