Measurement

Exploring the concept of speed. Students will realise that speed is made up of two measurements, one of distance travelled, and one of time taken. These to measurements can be used to calculate speed, which can be converted to different units.

L.I. Students will be able to 1. use appropriate scales, devices & metric units for length, area, volume & capacity, weight (mass), temperature, angle and time. 2. convert between metric units, using whole numbers and commonly used decimals. 3. use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating on whole numbers. S.C. We will (nzmaths.co.nz)
 * calculate speed from measured distance and time
 * solve multiplication problems using doubling and halving strategies
 * use know multiplication facts to solve multiplication problems

__**Maths Work**__ My Estimation for running km per hour. I can run 5km per hour. After test I have discovered that I can run 12km per hour. media type="custom" key="8887638"

Time taken in 100m= seconds Work out how many km per hour Work out how many meters per second

Reflection

Today students from room 41 rode bikes and we timed then so we could then work out kilometers and how may meters per second.I now know how to work out how many meters per second and how to work out and convert how many km per hour. I did not understand this at the start but then Mrs Stock explained again and I now understand it. Our next activity was the F.I.O activity I found this difficult to work out and did not understand how to work it out.
