hi Mandy,

Just got in.  Go to go out again soon.

Your first times table time is good.  It takes a few goes to get the hang of it.

Start a record of your times and try it 3 times a day.

Post me every time you do it quicker.

Haven't got time to check back on the work now.

From memory there some equal fractions with gaps to fill and you've got to practise the rounding page questions until you can always get 10/10

Plus, have you corrected all of Q1 and 2 from the assignment?

Hi bob bundy mandy here. Thank's f.or message. Been busney with work. Shoul get this all done over the weekend ok? Hope that is ok? Send messsge & let me know? Now plrase!

hi Mandy,

Yes that's better, well done.  You did 208 yesterday and now 187.  Keep trying because you'll keep improving.

Post 353 has a list of all the things I think you should be doing.

The sooner you can do these the quicker we can move on.

I'll check in later when you are back from work.

Bob

hi Mandy,

Not sure what you want to transfer. 

Sometimes if I want something transferred to another computer I save it to a USB memory stick.  Also you can email stuff to yourself.  You send the email, log in on the other computer and download there.  That's useful for email addresses and websites.

If your on-line course people have sent you a lot of stuff that's on one machine and you want it on both then the memory stick is probably the best way.

hi Mandy,

I don't get very excited by football.  but my wife and daughter both like to follow the matches.

Sorry I keep missing you on-line.  I only log on when I have a chance and I've had lots to do this week.

When you log on, scroll down to the bottom of the home page and you will see who is logged on, there.  (picture)

hi Mandy,

Send message now please?

I cannot reply immediately, if I'm not even logged in.

Do you understand what standard index form is?

You have never mentioned it and suddenly you've got a TMA to send.

Do you want to check your answers with me?

Picture shows how to put a standard index form number into your calculator.

What about all the work you promised to do over the weekend?

Yes, that is correct.  I'll check in again this afternoon.

Q1 Prime numbers are 17 & 47   Both correct, but there is one more to find. 

Q2 Seventh number is 25
     Eight number is 29   Both correct. 

sixy eigh add on till you get to 93 is 25 and 93 add on till you get to 122 is 29    Both correct.   

124 & 169   Both correct.   

Q2

28.243 ÷ 2.6 to 2 dec place is 1176.26   I don't know what you have done here.  You did this correctly once.  See post # 330 for answers before rounding and post #336   

0.25 ÷ 45 to 2 sig figures is 005.555   Here again you have done something strange.  It looks like you are not rounding properly.  Have you done any practice from 

http://www.mathsisfun.com/rounding-numbers.html



Q1   ½ = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 6/9 = 8/24   Started ok but not 6/9 and 8/24 

Q2  1/3 = 2/12 = 2/12 = 8/3   Not correct at all. 

Q3  2/12 = 4/6 = 8/3 = 1/24   Not correct at all.   

Q4  1/3 =2/8 = /12   Not correct.   

Q5  3/4 = /8 = 9/ = /24 I made you a set of flash cards.  All the answers were on those cards.  Did you use them to do these?

I'm very disappointed that you are getting answers wrong that you did correctly a month ago.  For the fractions,it looks like you have just guessed rather than used the cards you asked me to make for you.  Have you actually printed off these cards?  Did you have them in front of you when you tried these questions?

Bob

hi Mandy

Getting better.

Q1 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/9 = 12/24    All correct except 5/9.  None of the flash cards has /9 on it so where is this answer coming from?   

Q2 1/3 = 2/6 = 4/12 = 8/3      All correct except 8/3.  Three thirds makes a whole, so 8/3 is nearly 3 wholes.  This couldn't be right.

Q3 2/3 = 4/6= 8/6 = /24     2/3 and 4/6 are correct.  8/6 could not be right.

Q4 1/4 = 2/8 = 3/12     All correct.  Hurray!!!

Q5 3/4 = 6/8 = 9/12 = /24    All correct but how many for ?? /24 ? 

So what is still going wrong?

Let's try something.

Pick up one flash card.  Use a ruler to measure how long and how wide it is.  Post back your measurements.

Bob

hi Mandy,

Way back in April I suspected you hadn't made the flash cards properly and I repeated the instructions with pictures.  But it seems you still haven't done that.

The pictures I made of fractions should be on the front of the card.  The writing should be on the back.

This is what you need to do:

Click on the picture below.

(i)  Cut out each flash card.

(ii) Fold it in half and stick it together like that.

Check you have done this correctly.  What are the measurements now?

(iii) Do that for all the cards. 

Check you have them all.  How many cards have you made?
