Understanding Decimal Numbers

Answer these questions:

1. What is a decimal number?
2. Where are they used and how are they useful? Give at least 5 examples of decimal numbers in everyday use.

Game:

1. Collect some maths equipment and invent a game which challenges people how to do one of the following: put decimal numbers into order, add/subtract, multiply or divide decimal numbers.
   
2. Write instructions for your game, making sure you explain how the game develops your mathematical understanding.
3. Include in your instructions how to make the game more challenging or interesting, as well as how to simplify the game to make it easier.
   
4. Post it to the Team 14 blog with a label of Maths. If you are not from Team 14, get one of these people to log you in so you can publish.

These games will be used again for the benefit of others.

By Elise and Chris

Feedback for the sharing of inquiry information - Elise and Daniel C

Elise: she did not say all of one of the sub question she just went blah blah blah instead of saying it all out.

Both: they wrote out all of there information really well and they talked really clearly. For each sub question they have made a separate chart for it so that you know that it is a new sub question, they have a box for the changes form the past and another one for now.

Things that they need to do better=
Elise: next time I think Elise should make sure that she says all of the sub question so that we don’t have to read it ourselves because that wasn’t what the sharing was for.

Feedback for the sharing of inquiry information - Matt, Daniel K & Sam

Sam: he read and spoke really clearly. He made sure that the whole class was listening before he talked.

Matt: He fixed the mistakes that he made, he read and spoke really clearly

Daniel K: he needs to tell the other people in his group that he needs to have a time to talk.

All: they made sure that they showed us all of the websites. It was good that they organized it in a google doc. They showed us what we might lose by caring on how we are. They made it sound like a good thing that the world is going to warm up.

Things that they need to do better=
All: they need to make sure that they make sure that everyone gets the same amount of time to talk in the group because Daniel K didn’t get to talk that much at all.

Feedback for the sharing of inquiry information - Clare

Both: They got a lot of information in their information organizer. They made sure that they .

Things that they need to do better=
Both: they didn’t change some of the words we could tell that they hadn’t changed it because they couldn’t pronounce them very well.

Clare: you need to make sure that you know how to pronounce the words so that we all know what she is talking about. I know that you-bin didn’t want to talk you need to make sure that she talks to get her English better.
