Dinner Time Ads

A couple of weeks ago, for maths, we were working on statistics.  We were given a photocopied sheet with data on it. We had to transfer this data onto a paper graph and then onto a Google Sheet. When it was on the Sheet we had to total the answers, sometimes add the percentages and finally add bar graphs from the settings. We also learnt how to add up all of the data to get the total without having to add it up ourselves!

Writing Algebraic Expressions - Maths

This week we had to complete a workbook on writing algebraic expressions. I found this quite interesting once I had figured out what to do.

As I like to solve algebraic expressions, I was quite surprised at how easy it was to create the equations. 

Outside The Classroom - Main Stars Term 3 2019

One of the Main Star activities we had to do was to be involved in at least one outside of the classroom activity relating to the school (eg. production, a school sporting team, road patrol, office assistant etc) and right a blog post about being involved in this activity. I chose to do the West-A-Maths competition which was held a few weeks ago. 

Solving Balanced Equations and Number Patterns

This week for our workbook we had to complete questions based around solving balanced equations and number patterns. I found this task quite interesting and fun as I like to solve mathematical problems like these. 

Solving Simple Algebraic Equations

Last week for maths, we were focusing on algebra and doing exercises such as solving simple algebraic equations. We had a document and a slide given to us to complete. On the slide we had to give our working-outs to show how we solved it. 

I enjoyed this task as I like to solve mathematical problems. 

Maths Workbook - Geometry

This week for maths we have been learning geometry. We had Maths Buddy tasks to complete, worksheets and a workbook based around geometry and angles of a regular polygon. I found the angles quite interesting.

Angles DLO - Mathematic News On 90࿀

After we had finished our individual work we got to create a DLO (screencastify) explaining how to identify angles. I paired up with Mia and together we created a screencastify with a news reporter spin on it. We had lots of fun doing this!

Angles Workbook ~ Term 3 Week 1

This week we have been looking at identifying different angles. 

A few tricks we were taught as an easy way to remember the angles:

Obtuse (like obese meaning big)

Reflex (think about your reflexes and your elbow)

Acute (like cute and little)

Term 2 Week 9 Maths Work Book

This week for maths we have been looking at word problems. Last week I was stuck on a couple of questions and doing similar ones again this week has made it much easier. Today we also had a worksheet on graphs and dot plots. I really enjoyed this as probability and graphing is one of my favourite subjects in maths. 

Add Sub Mult Div - Workbook

This week for our workbook we were looking at 'Add Sub Mult & Div' word problems. There were a range of about 27 problems that were either addition/subtraction, multiplication/division or fractions of amounts. I found these quite interesting as I like doing word problems. 

Interpreting Timetables Pt 2

This week we were given another 'Interpreting Timetables' workbook so we could all thoroughly understand the concept. 

Interpreting Timetables

This week (and a part of last week) for maths we have been looking at 'interpreting timetables'. For our workbook we used some real life timetables used in Christchurch. 

Trapezoid, Parallelogram, Rhombus

For this workbook we had to classify 2D shapes. We also had a few videos to watch to help us identify shapes like a trapezoid and parallelogram. 

3D Shapes

This week for our workbook we were learning about 3D shapes. We had to include a description of a few 3D shapes and a picture of a rectangular and triangular prism net. 

Perimeter, Area and Volume

This week for maths we have been focusing on perimeter, area and volume. We have been learning things like area of a triangle, circumference of a circle and perimeter/volume of different shapes.

Maths Workbook - T1 W10

For the past week we have been looking at adding fractions with different denominators. I found this quite fun but a bit of a challenge! We had a workbook to complete and last week we had some Maths Buddy tasks to complete.

This week we have been focusing on finding the missing number in an equation. We had the following workbook to complete as well as a few tasks on Maths Buddy. 

2 Digit By 2 Digit Multiplication - Workbook

For the past few days we have been working on 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. Below is a slide we had to complete. On this slide were some statements to help us complete a 2x2 digit multiplication algorithm. 

Averages - Big Fort Obstacle

This week Miss Power set us the task to come up with something to do every day for this week so we could find an average of our scores today!

Aimee, Cleo and I decided to do an obstacle on the big fort and time how long it took to complete!! I found this very fun and would love to do it again!

My average was 1 minute 22 seconds and 4 milliseconds!!!!!!!

This week we have been doing some very fun things for maths!!!! Thanks Miss Power! 

Here is a video of us completing and showing you our obstacle!!!

Ratios - Fruit Kebabs

This week we have been learning about ratios!! Miss Power thought of a fun way to learn this so we had to ratio the things we were going to put on our fruit kebabs!! I found that this was an awesome way to learn ratios! A group of us were getting a bit confused at the start but in the end we figured out how it is actually soooo easy!
