Maths Knowledge week 9

 Kia ora! This blog is about my math knowledge week 9. We chose a goal to try and make green on Hero, and then answered questions to prove we could do it. Here is my goal: 

Say the number 1 /1000, 1 /100’, 1 /10, 1, 10, before or after any number.

And here are my answers:

Thank you for reading my blog. Try figure out one of the answers and see if you get it right!

I baked something without knowing what it was...

Kia ora! Welcome to my blog. This blog is about my reading, writing and maths from week 7. First I will share my reading.

In reading, we were learning about what is ok to skim and scan and what you have to read properly. We were given some intructuions to follow without knowing what we were making. I chose the baking one and here are the instructions we had to follow: 

I made it and it turned out to be scones: 

Next, my writing. Our writing this week was linked to our reading, about instructions. But instead, we were writing them this time. We had to choose something to write instuctions for how to do, and make them clear to read. I chose how to tie a shoelace.

And last, maths. This week we were learning about the four types of transformation. We had to create a logo that showed at least two. They are, reflection,rotation,translation,enlargment. Here is my logo for sunglasses.

I used all four of them. I used enlargment  for the one in the middle, translation when moving them around in an oval, rotation when rotating them different ways and I tried to make it the same on both sides. That is all for this blog today, thanks for reading!

What's the destination?

 Kia ora and welcome back to my blog. This blog should be quick, because I only have one thing to share with you. In my math class this week, we were doing grid references and compass directions. We had to create something that showed our understanding of them. I created a map with a path to follow:

Try doing this yourself!

The directions are: 

Start at p6, then move north 3 spaces, east 2 spaces, south 3 spaces,

west 10 spaces, south 2 spaces, west 4 spaces, where are you?

Where did you end up?

Another knowledge

 This week in kaupeka we were tasked to another knowledge test with another goal. The goal I chose was a L4 goal and it was: Say the number 1 /1000, 1 /100’, 1 /10, 1, 10, before or after. I did my work in my book copying off these questions:

I then took a photo and uploaded it to this page:

Thank you for reading, maybe challenge yourslef to answer one of the question I had to do, and comment your answer!

Topple!

 Kia ora, welcome back to my blog. This week I have something AWESOME to share with you, my MATHS. This week for maths we spent Tuesday working on perimetre and area, and then Wednesday was volume and metric units. We were then tasked yesterday, to create a game for the Top Team challenge. It is all about team building, with a whole lot of challenges. If my game wins, it will be part of a top team game! We had to add all the realting units to the game, if it was going to be entered. Here is my game!

Thank you for reading my blog. I really hope my game gets through. What was your favourite part of the game?

The oil spill, Turangawaewae and Otago problem solving

 Kia ora whanau! Kei te pehea koutou? 

This week in the kaupeka hub we have been doing some very fun learning. In maths, I was chosen for a problem solving competition. We answered five questions on a test, and I can't wait to get back my results. One of the questions that I found hard was this, 

You have to figure out what the letters mean on this question. Remember, A is one letter the whole time. Same with B and C. Try figure it out and answer it in the comments.

Okay, next is my Writing. This week we were writing poems about our turangawaewae and we had to do something called show don't tell when you have to show them about your place but you write it down. It was quite hard to do but here is mine.

In the distance, you see only sky,   

Waves are crashing right before your eye,  

With the bright warm sun, way up high.

You dive in the water, it makes you freeze,

You notice the water is like a cool breeze,

Then you dive again, the sand scraping your knees.

It’s time to go home, you’ve had a lovely lucky day,

You want some ice cream, so you go and pay,

And then it's time to go to bed and pray,

That tomorrow will be just like today.

Now last but not least, reading. This week for reading we were challenging the text with questions. We did this on a google drawing and added some pictures. Here is mine so far: (I might need to change some things)

Thank you for reading my blog. Can you guess where my turangawaewae is from reading the text?

Poems

 Kia ora! Welcome back! This blog is about Week 9 Term 1. First is my Reading. This week for reading we were creating landmarks for NZ. We read some texts to insprie us, I read about The chch museum and The Eiffel tower. So I thought of an idea to make a museum tower. This is my work:

Now, Writing. This week for writing we were doing poems. We had to write it about chch and ngai tahu together in a poem. Here is my poem:

A tale of Ōtautahi where there lies stories of toil and mahi. Over 800 years ago, Ngai Tahu came to NZ. They rode the ocean navigating with the stars, as they voyaged on waka. Ngai Tahu meaning, the people of Tahu, linking to their ancestor, Tahu Potiki.By the 1830’s, Ngāi Tahu had built a thriving industry supplying whaling vessels and had become the backbone of the South Island economy.

A tale of Ōtautahi where there lies stories of toil and mahi. Time passed, and more happened, the treaty,  te tiriti o waitangi. Then the pakeha. And more. More people from other countries started living here. Then, now. Now we have sheep as our thing, and we are very good at sport. But we are also very unlucky too. The earthquakes and mosque attacks. Unlucky.

A tale of Ōtautahi where there lies stories of toil and mahi. Now as a nation, we move forward with each other. It is like, Jacinda Ardern drives the car and everybody else is in the back seat. The car is New Zealand. Schooling and Education is a lot better than what it used to be, same with clothes and food. A tale of Ōtautahi where there lies stories of toil and mahi.

And now, Maths. This week for maths we were doing transformation. We had to use this shape and show it for all types of transfrormation: Reflection, Rotation, Translation, and Enlargment:"

Then we had to create our own kowhaiwhai pattern. A kowhaiwhai pattern is when a maori design is repeated into a pattern, like mine!

Thank you for reading. What was your favourite part?

Walking through New Zealand

 Kia ora koutou! This blog is about my reading, writing and maths. Last week, I told you the name of my new place for chch, The Walk Through NZ. I finally finished it with my friend Izzy, and I think it looks really cool. I put a lot of work into it so I hope you like it!

Now maths. This week for maths we were doing a statictical investigation. A statictical investigation is when you collect data (information) and put it into a graph to show the data. My data is about Te Reo Speakers In NZ By Age. Here is the slide I made: 

Lastly, writing. This week for writing, we did a newsletter. I hasn't come out yet, but it hopefully will be soon. I wrote this article about young vinnies. My friend (Tash) is also doing one about young vinnies so please read hers too. This is mine:

Thank you for reading my blog. What part of this blog  did you like the most? Do you think the walk through nz should be a real place?

Finding Fractions

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to share with you my new learning on Finding Fractions of whole number. I created a poster to share all of my new learning:



I hope you like my poster! Thank you for reading this blog, Bye!

Have you used this strategy?

Cool Quiz

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog! This week we were tasked to create something to show our learning about using reversibility to solve division problems.

I created a quiz because I have never done one before and wanted to try something new instead of just a boring old poster. Here is my slide.

Marvellous Math Multiplication

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog! This week for math we are learning how to solve multiplication and division problems using place value. This is my poster of how to do multiplication.

To solve this I needed to brake up the question to make it easier to solve. Then using my own knowledge I worked out the answer. This way made it faster to solve things in my head and in a book.

This strategy is quick, easy and fun. If someone asked you to solve a math question, which strategy would you use?

My Place Value Maths

My learning inention: Use place value strategies to solve multiplication problems

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog! Today I am sharing with you about my maths. I was tasked to create a poster explaining my new learning about place value. My poster includes what I learnt, and an example. Here is my poster I created.

Thank you for reading. Have you ever used this strategy with multiplication?
