Blog active again

An apology to all those who in these last days tried to follow this blog but wasn't updated.  There were a few problems which are now resolved.

The blog will be updated again in January where I will be back in class, however the last HW which will be given to you tomorrow will be posted tomorrow evening.

Happy holidays to all of you. Enjoy them but don't waste your time (work, study and play in the same time)

December tests

On the second week of December tests on Maths, Maltese and English will be given on the following dates:

Monday 9th December - Maths
Tuesday 10th December - English
Wednesday 11th December - Maltese.

Have a look at the note I gave you and revise all the topics we did during the first months of this scholastic year. If you have problems about a particular topic don't hesitate to ask me.

Remember that next Wednesday 4th December you have a tables test so study the tables from 2 to 6.

Library

Today I sent you a note about some money for library books. I would truly appreciate if all the class donate some money (Euro 3) so together we spread the importance of reading. As I emphasised on the note, money are to be sent only if you wish, I'm not obliging anyone.

I thank you in advance :)

Adding pairs to 100 and 1000 method

I decided to upload the method we used in class for adding pairs to 100 and 1000.

I have this sum: 730 + _ = 1000. 

Step 1:
Find how many more to arrive to 100. So, how many numbers do you need so that from 73 you arrive to 100?

73 + _ = 100

Step 2:
Look at the unit digit number. It is 3. How many more to 10? The answer is 7. So, if I need 7 to make 10, than I need 7 to make the next ten of 73 which is 80. So:

73 + 7 = 80.

Step 3:
Now, I need to arrive to 100. How many more to arrive to 100? 20 more. So,

80 + 20 = 100.

Step 4:
How many numbers did I add altogether? 7 + 20 = 27. 

Step 4:
Now we know that you need 27 more with 73 to make 100. So,
73 + 27 = 100.

If you arrived there, now you can write the matching pair to make 1000. In class I told you that each number in a pair totalling 1000 is ten times the matching pair totalling 100. So therefore, if

73 + 27 = 100, than
730 + 270 = 1000.
