Spray painting

This term room 18 did spray painting for art. Following on from our art trip to Spectrum last term, our first spray painting artwork was a free choice. To make this I got some masking tape and that is when I did the design. Then I spray painted it yellow. When the spray paint was dry I took the masking tape off.

This is a video from Spectrum.  

Multiplication Strategy

I did problem solving using multiplication. I solved one multiplication question and this is it. I solved 36x18 for Home Learning.

I did Place Value and Rounding and Compensating for the question 36 x 18. 

Place value

36 x 18 = 

30 x 18 = 540

6 x 18 = 108

540 + 108 = 648

Rounding and compensating

36 x 18 = 

(2 x 18 = 72 )

36 x 20 = 720

720 - 72 = 648

Multiplication strategy

Last week I did problem solving using multiplication. I solved 4 multiplication questions and this is one of them. I solved them with my maths mates Blake and Sammy. 

"The Legend classes each had 48 children in each of the 4 houses. How many children altogether?"

I did a strategy called place value. 

4 x 48=?
4 x 40=l60
4 x 8 =32
32+160=192
