maths

so sorry about before the title 'maths' i am not so sure and i accidentaly typed 'enter' anywa continued ........
eventually drawing a speed model made me visualize a speed question faster.It also made me save time instead of wasting time by reading a question over and over again. ~.~ ^.^

Maths Maths Speed

What did you learn about Speed?
ok.this is not hard because speed is mainly about
km/h , m/min,cm/sec .
To know what i have learn about speed is not hard,
but it is hard, when i have to apply it on problem sums and so on.
Still, i am willing to try and solve the problem for it.

Was this method of learning effective?
urm........
yes, i get to test this speed lesson out on our self and understand the concept of it.

How did the hands-on lessons help in solving word problems on speed?
it helps when we have to solve similar question on it.
Which happens quite often.

i think the way i learnt speed by running made me understand speed better(collison,.....) it helped me understand what we were all actually finding the answers for. asically i just translate the experiments i did to the people in the question and the steps come right in my head. I myself got to admit when i first looked at speed , i thought that it was just the normal maths like (ratio, fractions,etc) but when i tried doing the questions , it was like "omg !!!what type of question is this?" eventually, by learning how to draw a speed model made me

Speed [Maths]

Speed is distance divided by time, which is km/h, m/min and others. Speed is also to see how fast a person runs. Having the experiment on speed, where we start at the same time, different distances and when running same distances but ending at different times helped me alot, as i could visualize easier. Now, i find speed easier than before.

Maths on speed

The first time i was introduced to speed, i was like ' so hard!!!' I find it very confusing and hard. I keep on getting wrong!!! After the hands on activities and the models taught by Mrs. Chien, i find it kind of simple. (for those question like two cars driving at opposite directions and how far apart is the towns.) so i tried the same method on other questions and suddenly, the questions seems to be easy all of the sudden. I understand my workings by listing which is the distance and others. the most helpful thing is a diagram i got it from a book.it helped me a lot!!! i start to like maths all of the sudden!!!
Distance- Speed x Time
Speed- Distance / Time
Time- Distance / Speed

Speed

What did you learn about Speed?

I learnt that speed is written in KM/H ,M/MIN and CM/S,
Distance is measured by Speed X Time taken,
Speed is measured by Distance travelled divided by Time taken,
Time taken is measured by Distance travlled divided by Speed,
And most speed questions are done with models.

Was this method of learning effective?

Yes.It makes speed questions much easier to solve.

How did the activities help you connect Speed to word problems?

The running activites we did outside( Race, Collision Course......)were helpful and informative.It also helped me to under stand these types of Speed word problems better.

Speed to me is easy after we did the experiment.I learned that a simple model can help solve speed questions. I learned also that speed questions are in (most likely this)two types , two object travelling towards each other eg. CAR-----><-----TRUCK, second, two object travelling together eg. CAR-----> . AT first , i did'nt know what the aim of the experiment
TRUCK----->
that Mrs Chien gave us but after a few explanations my team members gave me i understood it, and now I know average speed = total distance divide by total time

maths is cool

Maths is a average to easy subject for me... I thought I had gotten how to do it but when I try it out, I get so confused. So, I drew models! Models helps me to understand the question better when i do not know how to do the speed question. The way Mrs chien teaches it is also very helpful. It lets me actually experience it by letting us do some outdoor activity which is related to speed instead of being in class and dozing off. I cannot say that I enjoy maths but I CAN say that I enjoy hands-on activities. It makes me understand maths in a simpler way that is enjoyable too!This activity teaches us how speed works and what are the rules of speed. All the hands-on work really paig off as i now understand speed alot better.

Maths (speed )

Finding speed is to find out how fast a person can run.We use speed to see who run faster.
Speed can be measured in many different ways. Examples: cm/s, m/min, km/h
We usually use km/h.
The method that we use in running was totally cool and fun !!I love to see how we run and who run faster.
The hands-on experiment made me understand more than the textbook could tell me.At first, I found speed hard and complicated.But the experiment we did was so helpful. I got confused when we did speed combined with other topics. But I got clear and understood.At first I found it hard to mingle with speed questions. But I know how to draw speed models,distance model and time model. I thought I hated maths when I went to primary four. But I am starting to like it again !

funs way for learning maths

in maths, we had learned ratio and now we are learning a totally new topic call 'SPEED' . our teacher introduce this new and complicated topic to 6-Grace by some hands-on experiment. we used a total of about several weeks to do this experiment. from planning to the actual experiment. first, we planed among our groups. next we gathered outside our class and did the experiment according to our plan. we thought the plan will run smoothly but we are totally wrong! quite a lot of problem arises during the experiment. at last, we managed to sought out some of the problems and corrected it but some of the problems we did not managed to sought out. this problems were then soughted by the teacher and was explained to us.... to make it short, i love this kind of learning method and hope that it will be use on others topic as well!! ^-^
