Steps

L.I to practice our suffexes on steps

Today this morning, we were practicing suffex - ability on steps. I have completed 5 of the 10 activities set for me, and I have managed to complete them all perfectly. My favorite one was the spelling. You had to look at the words, then spell them to get them correctly. I like steps, because we can practice hard words.

Ta'ovala Maths Challenge

L.I to find the most eficient stratergy

For this challenge we solved a question regarding  ta'ovala. Ta'ovala is a traditional Tongan  piece of clothing worn for special occasions. Our main information was that for 8 ta'ovala 12 meters of material was used, we need to find out how many meters of material would take to make 26 ta'ovala. First we found out how much material it would take to make one ta'ovala which we did by dividing 12 by 2, 6 by 2 and then 3 by 2 which gave us 1.5. After that we multiplied 1.5 x 10 two times which gave us 30, then we multiplied 1.5 x 6 and that gave us 9. Lastly we added 30 and 9 to give us our answer 39.

Maths Challenge

L.I to create a DLO about how you solved this maths challenge
This week for maths, we created a DLO about how we solved this maths question challenge. We first started as a big group to work out how the first question should be solved, using the most eficient stratergy. Then we chose a partner to work with. I worked with Vayan. We first worked out the answer to each question, then we out the answers on our DLO. We then put on the main information. Lastly we made a rule, which was the main focus of this session of maths.

Maths DLO (Fish)

L.I to create a DLO on how you solved the question
Today, we created a maths DLO. It contains the question, Working out, and Main Information. Vayan and I worked as partners to create this DLO. We used our division, and addition skills. The question was that the remain 4 fish weighed 25% of the total weight (150 kg). Then we had to figure out how much the 4 fish weighed each. We figured the answer would be 9.375 each. This activity was a bit challenging and fun.

Current Events 1 (Home Learning)

This is a current events 1 activity for home learning. There are 11 main types of current event titles. I have chosen 2 current events from around the world (Japan, and Venice). The 2 types of current events titles I used were odity and Relevance. The oddity was about a school graduating in minecraft. The other was sightings of dolphins, swans and fish in the clearn canal waters. These were both very interesting because I have not heard about anything the same as there subjects.

Kiwi Can Week 7

This week for kiwi Can we were learning about role models. Role models are people who inspire you and someone you can look up to. We started off with our energizer called hammer. It was related to the topic because we were trying to work together and trying to listen. Next we talked about whp role models are in our lives and how they are role models. Most people chose their mum. After we talked about who inspires you in your family. Then we played our activity called picture it. It was related to the topic because it was about working together as a team to get the picture. Lastly we played a GKQ (General Knowledge Questions) game. It was girls vs boys. The goal was to try to answer the question. When the last person gets out, their team loses. This week at kiwi can was fun.

Maths Questions DLO

This week for maths we were learning about decimals. We were mostly focusing on adding decimals in our own stratergies or learnt stratergies. I used the algorithm. It is easy because we add the numbers from top to bottom, then put the ones in the place and carry the ten to the tens. We also learnt about giving one numbers value to the other to simplify the question. This maths was very fun.
