Reading Numbers up to a Trillion

In class this week we have been learning about Reading numbers up to a trillion, (e.g 25 365 998) which is 25 million 365 thousand 998.
When you are reading number such as 22387654 you will break them into their  houses like this 22,387,654. the houses names are trend setter,thousands,millions and billions and so on.The trend setter house has the ones tens and hundreds kept in it.The thousands has the all the thousands in it.and millions has all the millions etc..
When i separated the numbers earlier it makes it easier to read because i separated in the houses.

Also we have been learning to put numbers on and take them off the number (e.g 22887542 If i were to take 1 off it would be 22887541) and adding 100 would be 22887442.1000 after would be 22886542.

 I personally found it quite easy to read numbers and add and subtract of the number.But when i started i found it very hard,but since i have learnt about separating the numbers into their groups.

My Learning

Hi everyone My names Shanelle.
I like to play netball,I like to draw and design things.

I like to learn in nice quiet spaces because i just get distracted.And i get things done faster and easier.

My strengths are my decimals and around the maths area,I am very good at reading long paragraphs and things like that.I need help with writing,I find it hard to support my ideas with detail and techniques,my writing isin’t that interesting.I am good at spelling,but need to learn more vocab.

Cope- Curiosity,open mindedness,persistance
All of them have to be used the be a good learner.when using curiosity you be brave and ask questions when you dont understand,being curious helps you learn.when you are being open minded you are open to suggestions and open to different learning.persistance is when you never give up and keep going,but if you need help to need to ask as well.I try to use all of them all the time but i struggle with curiousity and asking questions.

My teacher (Mr A) could help me by giving me paper work (for homework) because i seem to get it done faster with no fuss. My parents could help me by looking at my blog more often.
I love to learn writing techniques because i love writing and its also learning.I love to learn more vocab because i learn new words to put in my writing to make it more powerful.

In 2014 I learnt a lot more about maths and decimals.I learnt heaps of writing techniques (e.g show not tell,PEE paragraphs and others..) I improved a lot with vocabulary I learned a heap of new words.

This year I would like to work on my times tables more often and learn all the tables & division.I would like to write more complex texts and add more ideas to make it powerful.I would like to learn more in maths to expand my learning in maths.
