Decimals with Maia

For the past two days or so, now, me (Chayse) and Maia have been learning about:
Reversing, Place value, and Tidy numbers. Mrs Natuash told us to write a post about it, and give an example, and so on, so here it is:

Chapter One:
W.A.L.T
Reverse
When you reverse, you start from the lowest number (Which should usually be what you have to minus) , in the equation, and add up till you get to the nearest one. Then you have to add up to what you need to get highest number in the equation .Then you have to work up all that you have just used to add that made that number:
(e.g)
7.1-3.2=
3.2+0.8=4+3.1=7.1
Now work up what you used to make that:
0.8+3.1=3.9

Chapter Two

W.A.L.T.
Place Value
When you place value, you add the numbers by their sections. Then you add all their sections amount together, and that's you're answer: (The exact same thing with subtraction, just subtract!)


(e.g)
3.2+1.5=
3+2=5
0.2+0.5=0.7
5+0.7=5.7

Chapter 3
W.A.L.T
When you use tidy numbers you advance to the nearest one in both digit parts then you add them together. After that, you must remember this:
NOTICE:
You always add back what you took of, unless it was a subtraction question, you take off what you put on.

(e.g)3.7+2.5=
4+3=7
But, I added on, did I not?
7-1.3=5.7
The answer is:
5.7

Decimals

Last night, I had to do some maths with my parents. They gave me really hard decimal equations, that I had to answer. They were awesome again...

bridges

For the past couple of days, Room 10, have been doing Geometry. So now, we are trying to create a bridge, and research stuff about our bridge, like the desighner and the forces and if it's unique and other cool stuff. My bridge, is a drawbridge. But, it's sortta like the one you think as a castle bridge, but, it's sortta different

Today, me and Maia, we were learning to:
Round with money:
E.G:
$23.56=

$24.00
nearest ten cents
