Subtracting with borrowing

SUBTRACTION USING BORROWINGIMG_3289.JPG


We start from the 1’s column.
So, 2 - 3, but we can’t do it.

So we need to borrow from our neighbor.
Cross him out, the 3.
So we make the 3 a 2.
Then the 2 is a 12.
Then we do 12 - 3.
So 3 to get to 10 is 7IMG_3294.JPG
10 to get to 12 is 2
So 7 + 2 is 9
So 12 - 3 is 9
2 - 1 is 1
So our answer is 19


BORROW & PAYBACK


We start in the 1’s column.IMG_3299.JPG


So 2 - 3, can’t do that, so we need to make this 2 a 12 and then we pay it back straight away downstairs to our neighbor.
12 - 3 is 9.
Then it’s not 11, it’s 3 - 1 - 1.
Which is 1.
So the answer is 19.
Now I have 2 different ways of doing these take away problems and I can choose any way I like.You might find this pretty easy-

Good luck with your questions.

Explanatory writing

WALT: Plan and construct a paragraph.... Bunk beds, Apartment-Flat ...


A bed is a soft object that people sleep on .  It has a mattress, a pillow, blankets and a bed head to stop the pillow going on the floor.  To find a bed, look in a bedroom.  An example of a bed is a bunk bed.  
A bunk bed has a ladder and is split up into 2 beds.  One is on the top and one is on the bottom.
Bunk beds are good if people come to stay, or if you had a small room.
There are different sorts of mattresses for bunk beds like spring and foam.  Spring mattresses have springs inside them.  Foam mattresses are made with foam.  
Pillows are comfy and soft.  We use them at the end of our bed to put our head on.

We put blankets all over us to keep us warm at night.  You can get a special blanket to keep you warm called an electric blanket.

Reflection Week 2



Hello everyone from Royden

This week has been a bit of a muddle because Mrs Hooker has been working with me some days while  Belinda has been away.  Wyatt has has helped us use the computer. Thanks Wyatt!!!

But I did learn to put in speech marks around the person's speech. I finished the whole exercise and it was fun. I learned about ascending and descending order. I remember ascending goes from little to big because ascending begins with an u for up sound.  I remember descending is d for down from biggest to smallest.
