Rangitito Landscape Art


My Reflection
I learnt to use different painting strategies to do landscape art. The paint skills I used here were: sponge for the sky, drag for the sea, stipple for the sand and card print for the grasses. I found it easy to do stipple because I had lots more practice. I need to work on my drag skills so I can make it look more like the sea.

Dividing a Cake Fraction Problem


My Reflection
I was learning to solve problems with fractions. First of all I used trial and improvement and made random lines to see how close I could get to the solution. I counted up all the numbers around the cake and this made 45. I divided it by 3 and this gave me 15.
Then I tried different numbers to add up to 15. Next time I need to use more clues to help me find fast ways to get my answer.
