Addition and Subtraction Strategies Rubric Term 3 2021

 Addition and Subtraction Strategies  Rubric Term 3 2021   Name: 


Criteria

Level 2 (5ii)

Early Level 3

Level 3

Level 4

Addition and Subtraction strategies

Simple strategies to add and subtract smaller numbers.

Knowing a range of strategies e.g. use of an  algorithm, or partitioning.

Applying a range of appropriate strategies for different problems. Number lines, compensation, 

Have a range of strategies that can be used for decimal numbers and fractions


My  goals: 




My goal


Where I am at





Goal

Success Criteria (This is what it will look like when I get there)

I need to be able to break numbers up to make it easier to subtract. 


To achieve this goal I can break up single digit numbers to add or subtract. Eg 47 + 8 means 47 (+ 3 + 5) = 47 + 3 = 50 + 5 = 55 or 

in 43 - 6 the 6 would be partitioned into a 3 and a 3. 43 - 3 = 40 - 3 = 37.   

I need a range of strategies to be able to use to add and subtract when solving different problems

To achieve this goal I can use different strategies. I can use numberlines to count on and count on back, rounding skills to compensate as well as an algorithm. I must be able to partition well so I can bridge through tidy numbers. 


I need to be able to select the strategies to use to add and subtract when solving different problems


To achieve this goal I will have a range of different strategies I can use. I can look at numbers in a maths problem and say this strategy will be best here because ………  I need to be able to justify and explain. I begin to check my answers.

I need to be able to extend my use of addition and subtraction strategies to decimal numbers, fractions, and percentages. 

To achieve this goal I will be able to solve math problems that involve decimal numbers, fractions. I will use self checks and inverse to help my accuracy 



Goal Setting in Addition and Subtraction


My goal in addition and subtraction is to …………………………………………………………………………………………….


Addition and Subtraction Reflection


Using the two tests, think about your strengths and which gaps you have sorted out. (goals you have achieved). Google form to  be completed at the end of the 3 weeks. 





Talk to someone about:


  • How you achieved them (you could talk about how quickly you achieved them, some of the learning qualities that helped you achieve them.) 

  • What strategies you now have to help you with addition and subtraction problems. (use your rubric)

  • What worked well for your learning (what you did or what your teachers did)

  • What could have been better (what could you have done better? or what could your teachers have done better?)


My reflection


My goal was to have a range of strategies that can be used for decimal numbers and fractions. I think I have achieved my goal and now I am onto the next step. I did not get the last problem right but everytime I see it I will remember it and so I don’t really have any problems. I would also like some mathletics problems involving the last problem. I also would like to do another one and try to get it right.

Algebra Reflection term 3

 Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021                                                    Name: Juan de Jager


Criteria

Level 2 (5ii)

Early Level 3

Level 3

Level 4

Algebraic patterns

Explain the rule for a sequential pattern. 

Describe the rules for number patterns

Use tables and graphs to describe rules number patterns

Find rules and formulas for number patterns 


My Algebra goals: I don’t have a goal because I know all of the levels including level 5 so my goal would be to work on level 6 and a good challenge for me.


Goal

Success Criteria (This is what it will look like when I get there)

I need to explain what the next term of a spatial pattern will be. Eg 

To achieve this goal I can say which is the next number, shape or character in the pattern or I know what the next number or shape will be in the next part of the sequence. Eg the next creature is a butterfly. The next pattern will have four triangles.etc. 

I can describe what must happen for the next pattern. For example 

To achieve this goal I can say what is happening in the patterns eg You add two matches each time to make the next pattern in the sequence. It is going up by 2 each time starting from 3.   

I need a strategy to continue a pattern without drawing or building every one.

To achieve this goal I will have a strategy such as a table I can use to work out how many matchsticks there will be needed to make 10 triangles. 


Triangles

1

2

3

4

5

Matches

3

5

7

9

11


Each time the difference gets bigger by one so I can work out the 10th pattern without building it.

I need to be able to use a formula to work out the 100th term in a spatial or number pattern

To achieve this goal, I can use letters to represent the term in a sequence that I get from looking at a table and building a formula.  


I notice if I double the number of triangles and add 1, I get the number of matches needed so m = double p plus 1. Eg 3 x 2 = 6 plus 1 = 7. 



Goal Setting in Algebra: my goal is a achieve level 6


My goal in algebra is to …………………………………………………………………………………………….

Finally post on your Blog 


An Example 


Progress and what could have been better.


I have really improved in the past 3 weeks of doing algebra and I think I will never forget the stuff that I learned, and next year when I go to intermediate I won’t need to worry about algebra.  


The mathletics also really helped me in the algebra.

Fraction Reflection

 Fraction Reflection 

This is an opportunity for you to reflect on your Maths teaching and learning this week. You can then put it up on your blog. 


As a Learners: 


What did I learn during the two different lessons?


I learned how to add and subtract fractions and how to do big fractions. I did not know the proper way to do that and I learned something new and it is going to help me in the fractions test.


What could have been better


Something that could be better is that they could do some more fun stuff and could do some more stuff that is also fun.


As a Teacher:


What were the strengths of my / our teaching?


Our strengths is I was well supported and it was fun and enjoyable because we did a lot of fun stuff like an amazing kahoot and maths tag that was really fun and we also did stuff on a number line.


What could have been better? 


We have to work on experience learning that is not too easy or hard like when we teached it was really easy for Holly but not that easy for Benicio oltho it was easy for Holly but not for Benicio.


What did I learn from being an observer? 


I did not really learn anything because I did not do the Observer because I was sick.


Would you like the opportunity to teach children in another area of maths? Why or why not?



It depends because I want to teach people that are already good but not good like where Holly needed a challenge.

Sport VS Music

 Sport VS Music Writing

By:Juan de Jager

Sport


This is why sport is good for you. Sport is good for you because you have to go outside and have fun. If you play sports it is great for you, because you get exercise which would keep you fit and get oxygen. It is really good for you because you need fresh air.


It is like you almost need to play sport because you wouldn't get physical exercise and then your brain would not work that well. Now here is a good reason, you have fun and joy so you can spend more time with your family so sport is good and so you also don’t sit on a device.


But here is Music


This is why music in Oslo is important. Music is important because you need some time to relax in your life so that is why. Another reason is because you need to have more responsibility with music because you have to take care of your own instrument.


You might think music is boring but if you just listen it is fun and sometimes smooth. You can also learn something new inside, not outside.


Music is a good thing but some of the time it is annoying and noisy. Music is so great for your mind and brain My mum told me when you feel scared you just need to sing your favorite song and that is what I do and it really works


Basic Facts Graph

 Basic Facts Graph Term 1 and 2.

This graph shows the progress made by students over Terms 1 and 2 with their Basic Facts Tests. The aim is for students to become automatic with their knowledge of Addition and Subtraction to 20, and Multiplication and Division to 100 by the end of year 6. This will help students gain better understandings with other Strands, Concepts and Problems.

Reflection about My Basic Facts Term 1 and 2.





June-  did pretty good in the test but I think I could still work on some of the decimals like the fractions but I also know my 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 times tables are pretty good.
