Swimming Week 3

LS1 and I went to the pools to learn water safety.

Skip Counting and Repeated Addition

Repeating addition and skip counting are strategies for multiplication and divison.

Repeating Addition is repeating a certain number to get an answer for a problem. For example Mike was at the beach for five days he collected 14 sea shells every day to keep how many shells does he have in total? 

14 +14 +14 +14 +14 =70 the answer is 70 because 14 is added 5 times.

Skip counting is counting up or counting down using the same number. 

For example Sam has seven, 5 doller notes how much money deos he have all together?. 

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. The answer is 35 dollars because if you skip counted in fives 7 times the answer is 35.                                                                          

This activity was helpful because I learnt new strategies.

    

Persuasive Language

I learned about persuasive language.

First we watched videos about how to argue properly and persuasive writing.

Next we did an activity to show that everyone's perspective is different. For example you might see a six from one end and a nine from the other depending on where you are standing. Or you might see an 81 from one end and 18 from the other.

The experience was amazing because I learnt a lot about persuasion to help me when I am writing a persuasive speech.
