Maths Learning Story.

Maths learning story.

A large group of ladies are performing a siva at Pina’s church to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary.  Pina has been asked to decorate the puletasi they will wear on the day. It takes 4/7 of a metre of material to decorate one puletasi. How many metres of material will Pina need to decorate 56 puletasi? How many for 147 puletasi?

For this problem we are trying to find out ‘how many metres of material will Pina need to decorate 56 puletasi?’.

1st we did 100cm divided by 7= 14 cm, so 1/7 = 14cm & 2mm. Next we did 14cm x 4= 56 cm. After that we did 4 x 2mm= 8mm, last we did 56cm + 8mm= 56cm 8mm.

In maths I included some success criteria like managing self and like asking questions when I don’t understand or I need help with something.
