Dividing Decimals

 

Dividing with decimals is easy once you get rid of the decimal point in the number you are dividing by.

  1. Fix the Outside Number. You want the number you are dividing by (the outside number) to be a whole number. To do this, hop the decimal point all the way to the right. 2. Match it on the Inside

Whatever you did to the outside number, you must do to the inside number. Move its decimal point the exact same number of hops to the right. Example: $12.6 div 0.3$. Change $0.3$ into a whole number by hopping the dot 1 time to the right. It becomes $3$. Do the same to $12.6$. Hop the dot 1 time to the right. It becomes $126$. Now your question is just $126 \div 3$, which equals $42$!

 

Multiplying Decimals

Pretend the decimal points aren’t even there. Just write the numbers as normal, whole numbers and multiply them like you usually would.

Example: If the question is $3.2 \times 0.4$, pretend it is just $32 \times 4$.

$32 \times 4 = 128$.

  1. Count the “Decimal Places”

Go back to the original question. Count how many total numbers are sitting behind (to the right of) the decimal dots.

  • In $3.2$, there is one number behind the dot (the 2).
  • In $0.4$, there is one number behind the dot (the 4).
  • That makes two numbers behind the dots in total.
  1. Put the Dot Back In

Take your answer from Step 1 ($128$). Start from the very back of the number and hop the decimal point to the left. Use the total number of hops you counted in Step 2.

Since we counted two numbers, we make two hops from the back:

  • Start at the end of 128.
  • Hop once: 12.8
  • Hop twice: 1.28

So, $3.2 \times 0.4 = 1.28$!

 

How To Add Up Decimals Using Algorithms

Today In LS2 in our Group we learned about how to add up decimals using algorithms, after learning and exploring what the square roots we’re everyone in the group looked forward to looking for our new topic, this new topic was called decimals but for the meantime we are still on the adding up part.

While doing decimals, we should always put to mind to put the decimal points and numbers all a linded. During this lesson me and my group mates knew how to add them up because it’s just like regular adding of numbers, but the only new thing we had to remember was that there was a decimal every after a number. Though this lesson was very fun we also had a very great understanding on how we can do it now, we also helped each other on how we can get the correct answers.

Freedom Poem

This week for reading , we got told that we were making poems. At first , we thought it was going to be boring , but it was fun . We got a choice to choose a partner, or not . And I chose Iki . so we made poems , and this is how it looks .

Abstract Noun Poems

This week for reading , me and my partner , Iki , made a poem , using ai for the image , and our own skills for the poem description . we had a choice . Make the poem rhyme, or not . And we chose not to rhyme it , because it would take a lot of work , to find words that rhyme .

Building Hope

After reading Diary if Anne Frank and The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas we talked about what people must have felt like having their whole world turned upside down .

I can’t imagine what it felt like being bossed around by germans , or being put in uniforms , or tattoed a certain number , to be called to kill.

We drew what we thought the characters in the story might have felt like , what they would’ve wanted to happen , and what type of dream they need to come true.

We collaborated with each other ,

We had ” no rules” it was about creative expression , and what we thought about happening during that bad event .

This Cloth Of Dreams Design was inspired from “Teaspoon Of Light”

 

Chapter 20 Learning Conversation ( The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas)

This Week For Reading , We read chapter 20 of the Boy  In The Striped Pyjamas. Bruno and Shmuel were finding Shmuel’s papa , when they walked into a dark room, and the doors shut , so the room turned pitch black. But they didn’t know that they would be killed by poisonious gas , later injected into the dark room.

 

Shmuel’s Moodboard

This moodboard of Shmuel and Bruno , (The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas) shows their journey , of Bruno telling Shmuel , that he’s moving to berlin , then them having the same clothes , and them crawling under the fence , and walking around , finally , they are sitting in a dark room , not knowing that room would be then filled with poisonious gas , that would end their lives , but would keep their friendship alive .
