Maths

This week in maths we have been working on our 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables. At the start of our maths lesson we would get a sheet with the tables on it which had gaps for us to fill in. We would get 30 seconds for each set of ten questions. After we had finished we had to create a google sheet where we would add in our scores each day. We then created a spark line at the end of the row to show how we progressed on our tables throughout the week. It has been a really good practice for me and I think I did really well.
Here is a picture of my work.

How 0.8, 8/10, 80/100, ⅘ and 80% are the same thing.

In this blog I am going to explain how 0.8, 8/10, 80/100, ⅘ and 80% are the same thing.

In the table below 80 out of the 100 spaces have been filled in. You can also write that as 80/100.

I have divided this next table into ten columns or tenths.8 of these 10 or 8/10 are shaded in. It is still the same as in the table above.

This third table has been divided into 5 groups or fifths. Four of the five columns are shaded in which makes it ⅘, as you can see it is still the same amount of squares shaded in as the 80/100 and the ⅘ above.

For percentage and decimals, we are going to use the first picture we used. Because we have shaded in 8 tenths or 8/10 we know that if we put that 8 in the tenths column it will end up as 0.8. Percent is a number out of 100 so 80/100 is just 80%.
