Student Learning Term 2

Year 4 in Term 2

In Numeracy this term, we have been exploring fractions and decimals. We have been learning about naming, comparing, equivalent and mixed fractions as well as exploring how to order them and place them on a number line. We then used our fraction knowledge to expand our place value knowledge of decimals to tenths and hundredths. We enjoyed being able to see that connection between fractions and decimals. 

“I enjoyed shading different fractions as hundredths and tenths, and being able to see the connection between them like 8 tenths is the same as 0.8.”- Steven

“I enjoyed doing our Launch, Explore Summarise about decimals, and finding many ways to make different numbers with the same digits”- Indi B

“Playing the Chocolate Grab game to make tenths and hundredths because it was fun.” -Abi

“I liked playing the fraction matching to find equivalent fractions”-Ryan

“I liked playing the Chocolate Grab game because it is a fun and competitive way to make tenths and hundredths.” -Mia V

“Using the fractions wheel pieces to compare equivalent fractions.”- Hayden
