I have worked through the blackboard worksheet and come up with the following answers. I think my logic is correct but wonder is there a less convoluted way ?]]> 2019-01-19 05:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322363804 https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322363891 2019-01-19 05:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322363891 Very thankful for these boot camps. I have not done some of this math since the mid 1980s. https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322365674 2019-01-19 06:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322365674 the non-calculator decimal practice with Zhian the swimmer et al - I'm sure the answers are wrong. yes??? https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322438638 2019-01-19 23:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322438638 Weighted Grades solution sky_woodlands https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322797513 Weighted Grades worksheet Q2b:  The setup is the same as the above post, but you can think of the solution as an equivalent fraction problem, rather than an equation.  This is a real problem-solving question, as we're asked to work backwards.  I hope this helps!]]> 2019-01-21 22:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/322797513 Hi! Can you please explain the Q Convert Brisbane's area of 15, 000 km sq to ha...answer is 1.5 million ha - is this because 15 000 x 1000 as question was asking for ha rather than ha sq? What would the answer be if it asked for ha sq? https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/326901569 Thanks]]> 2019-02-01 23:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/326901569 converting square metres to hectares https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/327011736 my reasoning to the posted question]]> 2019-02-03 03:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/327011736 Last question practice on blackboard- Set 1 https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/367892362 Do you know what the answer for the question is? I've tried several times and have checked my answer on the calculator but it doesn't seem to be correct. What is the working out??

Every time I try to watch it - it goes right to the end and then wants to play the next video 'Dividing a decimal to the power of 10'. Are there any other recommended sites that have videos to show this as I just can't watch it. Thanks!

]]> 2019-07-18 00:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/371504148 Timetables Question: You are catching the Route 200 Bus. You need to be at the Cultural Centre by 10am. It takes you 15 minutes to walk to the bus stop at Belmont school. When do you need to leave home? https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/427039108
The solution is confusing.  Perhaps use the following:

1.  The bus arrives at the cultural centre at 9.56am.  You will need to board the bus at the Belmont school bus stop at 9.23am.  Therefore, 9.23 - 15 min = 9.08am.  You will need to leave home at 9.08am in order to make it onetime.  

- Short sentences in context; it's working backwards from the 'known' variables on the timetable. ]]> 2019-12-30 00:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/427039108 Numeracy https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/434337904 Thank you this has been a great help to me and a good start to this testing. ]]> 2020-01-22 01:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/434337904 Wrong Answer In Distance Question 1: The positioning of the map question has the incorrect answer of 80cm, above the explanation video. The video does state that the answer is 90cm. https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/441992823 2020-02-07 04:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/441992823 No Calculator Q's https://padlet.com/sky_woodlands/1ciuz7jb29r/wish/444875588 I know I need to practice some more no-calculator questions. Are able to direct me to some more or recommend some to practice?
