Olivia's Learning Diary

Welcome to my learning diary This is a blog that I will keep updating you with the stuff I've been learning in Room 8 2011 . The reason why we blog is because why , Why just keep your writing in a book? If it is in a book only you and your teacher can see it or on the odd occasion you take your book home and your parents can see it. But on the blog you can let the world see it and get comments on what you need to work on and what you done well instead of just the teacher's comments .

Deci pipes

The deci pipes helped me learn to add decimals , now I love doing decimals. The big blue one is a whole, the big red one is one you thread the thousandths tenths and hundredths on to show your thinking and if you are a visual learner . the silver ones are thousandths the little blue ones are hundredths the smallish blue ones are tenths

That is fantastic olivia that you like doing decimals I'm glad that you have told us what the decipipes mean because I would have no idea on what they are.

I didn't know what decipipes meant either!!! I'm pleased they have made learning decimals easy for you. You are a bright little cookie so it was only a matter of time before they became easy xxx

Great explanation Olivia! What about using an example - a problem - and showing how you would work it out using the decipipes. You could take photos or film it and upload to show your thinking and learning - and also to teach others about how they work.
