Monday Reading - Two Hands Together (introduction) by Diana Kidd

Monday Response to Text WAGOLL

Language Feature (evidence the text)

What does this mean? (evidence the text) What is the purpose? (evidence the text)

When he flexes his arm muscles they look like dinosaur eggs (p. 1) This is a simile.

Dad is visibly strong. The author reinforces this point regularly throughout the text. Dad is compared to Mr Universe in the opening sentence. This gives the reader a first impression that Dad is superior to others is his strength. When playing around with the kids, dad says ‘It feels like fairies are tickling me’ as they jokingly punch against his ‘brick wall stomach’ This further consolidates Dad’s strength and toughness in comparison to the other characters in the text.

The author uses this simile to help the audience visualise Dad as strong and tough. The image in the reader’s mind of muscles so big that they bulge like dinosaur eggs is the first impression the author wants us to have about Dad and his physical strength.

List of Mental Computation Strategies - Daily Number Talk

PARTITIONING INTO TENS AND UNITS This strategy involves mentally splitting both numbers into tens and units before adding or subtracting them. For example, in order to calculate 37 + 24, first split the 37 into 30 and 7 and the 24 into 20 and 4. The tens are then added to give 30 + 20 = 50, and the units are added to give 7 + 4 = 11. Finally the 50 and the 11 are added to give 61. Similarly, in order to calculate 54 – 32, split 54 into 50 and 4, 32 into 30 and 2, then 50 – 30 = 20, 4 – 2 = 2, and finally 20 + 2 = 22. For larger numbers we can also split into hundreds, tens and units.

BRIDGING TO 10 AND COMPENSATING This strategy involves bridging a number to a multiple of ten, adding/subtracting the second number to the bridged multiple of ten, and then making an adjustment to compensate for the bridging. By way of example consider the sum 28 + 35. To begin with, bridge 28 to 30. The addition of 30 to 35 can be swiftly calculated to give 65. Finally, we need to adjust the 65 down by 2 in order to compensate (i.e. cancel out) the initial bridging of 28 to 30. Subtracting 2 from 65 thus gives the final answer of 63.

GROUPING COMPATIBLE NUMBERS This strategy involves looking for numbers whose sum or difference, or product or quotient, is easy to calculate mentally. Consider the sum 43 + 24 + 17. Since 43 and 17 when added result in a round multiple of 10, they can be considered as being compatible. We can thus carry out the addition process by adding 43 and 17 to get 60, and then finally adding on the 24 to get to 84. Essentially we have reorganized the original calculation into a more convenient form, i.e. (43 + 17) + 24. When calculating products, keep a lookout for pairs of numbers whose product is a multiple of 10 or 100. For example, to calculate 2x34x5 we can simplify the calculation significantly with the following re-grouping: 34x(2x5)=34x10=340.

MULTIPLICATION IN STAGES A complicated product can often be simplified by carrying out the process in stages. This is a particularly useful strategy when the stages are simply repeated doublings. For example, consider the product 158. We can think of the 8 as 222 and thus proceed by doubling 15 to get 30, doubling 30 to get 60, and finally doubling 60 to get the final answer of 120. Division by 8, for example, could also be carried out by a process of successive halvings.

HALVING AND DOUBLING This is a strategy used in multiplication problems where a computation problem is transformed into a less demanding one by halving one number whilst simultaneously doubling the other. Consider the following multiplication: 16x3. By halving 16 to 8 and simultaneously doubling 3 to 6 we can transform 16x3 into 8x6 which is far easier to calculate. The process of halving and doubling can also be carried out more than once depending on the nature of the problem. For Example: 28x25=14x50=7x100=700

PARTITIONING ONE NUMBER INTO TENS AND UNITS For the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, this strategy involves keeping one number intact while partitioning the other number into tens and units. For example, to calculate 27 + 35, keep 27 intact, split 35 into 30 and 5, add 30 to 27 to get 57, and then add the remaining 5 to get 62. In order to calculate 65 – 34, keep 65 intact and split 34 into 30 and 4, subtract 30 from 65 to get 35, and then subtract the remaining 4 to get 31.

Tuesday Reading: Two Hands Together (except) by Diana Kidd.

Tuesday 03/08/2021 Character Profile - WAGOLL

Character Profile: There is a child in an orphanage on Kingsway Street which is referred to in the second paragraph. The child is very afraid as there is a gaunt and ghostly looking entity that descended into the room. The child stifles their breath and tries to calm down from the feeling of utter panic at the arrival of the gaunt ghostly looking entity that is furiously searching for something in his bag (paragraph two). The creature ends up directly at the foot of the bed of the character who is still afraid yet also intrigued by the creature and what it was looking for within its satchel. Even though the child is afraid, the sense of curiosity creates some courage in order to continue watching the creature who begins to produce some magical eggs. The child is trying to establish if they are dreaming or awake. From this part of the story, it does not clarify whether the child is a girl or a boy, leaving the reader wanting to know more.

Other Character Profile Ideas

Tuesday - Sally Morgan BIRTH DATE: 1951 BIRTH PLACE: Perth, Western Australia LIFE: Sally Morgan belongs to the Palku and Nyamal peoples of the Pilbara. Her family was part of the Stolen Generation and she grew up in Perth, unaware of her Aboriginal heritage. Until the age of 15 she was led to believe that she was of Indian descent. This experience of hidden origins and her subsequent quest for identity were the inspiration for her 1987 autobiography, My Place. While researching her family history for this book, Morgan’s childhood interest in art was rekindled. In 1986, Sally Morgan held her first exhibition at the Birukmarri Gallery in Fremantle. She is currently Director of the Centre for Indigenous History and Arts at the University of Western Australia, Perth. She has continued to write, publishing children’s stories, another book and a play. PERSONAL LIFE: Sally began dating a school teacher, Paul Morgan, when she was at university. By the second term of her third year, Paul and Sally decided to get married. They were married in 1972, in Sally’s backyard. The couple had a daughter and two sons. Amber was the oldest, Blaze Jake was born in 1978, and Zeke was born in 1982. ACHIEVEMENTS: Sally has won numerous awards and prizes, among them the Human Rights Award for her 1989 biography of an Aboriginal relative, Jack McPhee, Wanamurraganya. In 1997, she was appointed Director of the University of Western Australia Centre for Indigenous Art and History. She has also held the positions of Chair of Aboriginal Literature Committee and membership of the Literature Board of Australia Council. Sally worked at the School of Indigenous Studies (University of Western Australia) in the area of oral history. She has also gained a considerable international reputation as an artist, and has written and illustrated children's books. The Art of Sally Morgan was published in 1996.
