Maths W8

 Aloha welcome back to my blog,

This week in maths my goal was too: Solve problems with fractions, decimals, proportions and ratios using a broad range of strategies. I had three questions to do for problem solving they were,

1. A baby meerkat was born 3/4 of a month early. At birth, its weight was 7/8 kilograms, which is 9/10 kilogram less than the average weight of newborn meerkat at Orana Park. 

What is the average weight of newborn meerkat?

2. A mature rhino typically stands about 1.3 m high at the shoulder, has a length of 3.2 m and weighs around 700 kg.If a mature rhino is given new food and gains weight, putting on 0.67 kg of weight a week for a year what will it weigh at the end of the year based on the average starting weight shared above?

3. If there are 94 students in Kaupeka and Hero Data shows that 13% of students are sick on the day of the trip to Orana Park how many students will be attending the trip?

Remember that there can only be whole students attending the trip and that Hero will have rounded up the data to get a whole number percentage.

I will show you how I worked out the first one. First I did 1kg divided by 8 which equalled 125 then I did 125x7=875.

Next I had to do 1kg divided by 10=100 100x9 = 900 Next I did 875+900=1.775. So the average weight of the meerkat = 1.775kg.

See you next time Bye :)

What makes good maths buddy?

 KIa Ora welcome back to my blog,

This week for maths I will be talking about what  think makes a good maths partner. I think that for a good maths buddy you have to be able to communication with your other person. You need to be able to share your answers and make sure your on the same page. You need to keep your cool so that if your partner can't understand what you are trying to tell them you can explain. Tee key things are Collaboration, patience and kindness. Make sure to always speak with kind and patient words. "Kindness is seeing the good in people when they cant see it in themselves"

What do you think makes a good maths buddy?

See you next time Bye :)

 Kia Ora, welcome back to my blog

This week for maths I took part in cantamaths. We are tying out to see who makes the competitive team. I would love to make the team but I don't mind if I don't. Today I will talk about  3 things one will be about working in a team, one will be about the individual maths, and the last will be about what I did well and what I can do better.

1. We started off by working in a team and I think I worked well by communicating with the others to work out the answers with joint knowledge.

2. The next week we worked singularly and I think I did this well because I persevered and used the knowledge I have learnt to figure out the ones I struggled with.

3. Overall I think I worked well in a team and by myself, I did this by learning from my mistakes and kept on trying until I got it. The things I can work on are maybe communicating better with the people in my team in stead of just one person figuring it out let the hole team have a piece of knowledge.

What are your strengths and weakness when working with a team or by yourself.

See you next time Bye :)

 Bula welcome back to my blog,

This week for maths we did cantamath.  We got put into groups of 4 and answered 20 questions over the two days we did it. There will be a actual competition with other schools but I haven't decided if I would like to participate yet.

Do you like cantamath?

See you next time Bye :)

Maths W1 Term 3

Bula welcome back to my blog,

This week for my maths we had 2 problem solving questions, here they are. 

Here is my working,

See you next time Bye :)

Maths W11🏁🐍

Bula, welcome back to my blog, 

this week for maths I did three goals. 

Goal 1: Relate 3D models to 2D representations, and vice versa

Goal 2: Identify and sort 2D and 3D shapes into classes. Define the properties of the shapes and justify the decisions made.

Goal 3: Represent objects with drawings and models.

We had to fill out the blue document and the other two tasks were practical so I just put in on a drawing with photos of my work.

Can you draw 3d shapes?

See you next time Bye :)

Maths W9 🐨😦

Kia Ora welcome back to my blog,

This week I had lots of goals around Perimeter, Area,Volume, Mass and Temperature. I had to do a practical task and two learning tasks. I then Made a Digital Learning object showing my learning. I did a measurement goal, volume goal, mass goal and a area one. I would love to share my learning with you. 

I also did another quick question of Area so I will share it with you.  Maia fertilises her front lawn. It measures 20m by 30m. If she uses 3 bags of fertiliser how large of an area does each bag of fertiliser over. I figured it out by doing 20x30=600. She used 3 bags of fertiliser so we do 600 divided by 3 is 200.

What is your favourite type of maths to do?

See you next time Bye :)

Maths W8 😃📘

Bula, welcome back to my blog.

This week I did 2 different goals around perimeter and area. I answered 4 questions about the tasks that were set and I put them all into a slide show. I also took a picture of the working in my book.This week I spent a lot of time on making my slides look pretty so I hop you like it!

What is your favourite maths strategy?
See you next time Bye :)

Maths W7 👓😅

Aloha welcome back to my blog,

This week my goal for maths was to: Use an efficient strategy to solve a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers & decimals. Me and 2 other made a maths video showing how my we figured out the problems we were given. I hope you like it.

Maths Term 2 Week 5! 😎🐨

Aloha welcome back to my blog,

This week my goal for maths was to: Collect and display data on a scatter graph / talk
about distinctive features of scatter graphs. I made this slide to show my understanding an present all the work I have done I hope you like it!

How many tik toks do you know? If you do not do that then make a graph and show me in the comments!
See you next time Bye :)

Maths Week 4 Term 2!🙈👍

Bula, Welcome back to my blog,

This week my goal for maths was to: Make and justify the probability of events in common situations. Use relative frequency to predict events. We had to learn about two way tables and how to read them. Then we chose two topics and made our own 2 way tables about those topics. I picked age and favourite animal. I used 12 and 13 and Dog and Monkey. The we had to make 3 statements and justify why we made them. Here is my two way table and claims. I hope you like it.

  

How old are you and whats your favourite animal? Have you ever made one of these tables? Make another claim and let me know in the comments!
See you next time Byw=e

Maths Week 3 Tree diagrams🐚🎺

Aloha welcome back to my blog,

This week my goal for maths was to:Use tree diagrams to find the possible outcomes for a sequence of events. I had to pick 2 of the 5 prompts our teacher gave us then make a tree diagram with our data. Here is the slide I made with my tree diagrams and a video about how I did it, I hope you like it.

Have you ever made a tree diagram? Let me know what it was about in the comments!

Mighty Maths🐌🏧

Aloha welcome back to my last blog for week 2,

This week my goal for maths was: complete a statistical investigation by collecting, displaying and discussing data. My task was to watch a video and then pick a variable from the sheet my teacher made. I picked bedtime and age.I put it onto a spreadsheet and made a bar chart. Then I made an info graphic with a title, a screenshot of the data I used, my and the two statements I made about the work. Here is my info graphic.

Did you know that from this survey Canterbury's most popular eye colour is blue? What colour are your eyes?

Tessellations🏃🏧

Aloha welcome back to the second blog of the week. This week in maths my goal was to: Identify and use the features of a figure that do not change (invariant properties) as it is reflected, rotated, translated or enlarged. We learnt about tessellations. A tessellation is a shape repeated multiple times to create a pattern. When making one of these you can't change the size or angle, you can't leave any gaps but you can use different shapes and rotate them. Here is the tessellation I made using this tessellation creator try it out and make your own if you would like. Here! Here is the tessellation I made, I hope you like it.

Have you ever made a tessellation? Describe to me what colours and shapes you used in the comments!
See you next time Bye :)

Aloha welcome back to my blog

This week my goal for Maths was: Equal Adjustment/Addition: Use a broad range of strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems with whole numbers & decimals. Our create was to Using any digital tool you wish, create something to show the steps of how to use this strategy for 2 word problems. I hope you like it.

Can you solve in a different way to how I did? Let me know in the comments?

See you next time

Bye :)

Measurement and perimeter!🏁😃

Kia Ora, welcome back to my blog,
This week my goal for maths is: Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. We measured the court and had to make a D.L.O (Digital Learning object) about our understanding of perimeter. Here is my D.L.O

Stanford university Maths Course

Welcome back to my blog.

Today i'll be talking about the maths course our hub has been working on over the past 2-3 terms. This maths course doesn't involve so much maths but it is more about the stereotypes of maths. Why people don't like maths and how we can get better at maths.At the end of each lesson you have to right a paragraph about what you learnt.

 Lesson 1 (Knocking down the myths about maths)
Write down the main messages you learned in lesson 1 for someone of your age. What are 3 important things you learned today that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph please.

Taxi drivers in London spend up to 4 years learning about all the streets in London. With all this remembering their hippo campus expands. When they retire from being a taxi driver, their hippo campus shrinks back to normal size. A 7 year old girl had half of her brain removed after she had a couple of fits. The doctor could not stop it so they decided to cut that side of the brain of.  Scientists thought that she would be paralysed for the rest of her life but after a few months all the strength and connections in her brain began to grow back. If you take 2 groups of people ad try to teach them to juggle. You take 1 of the groups and tell them to practise and show them some things to do to make them better. The other group you don't tell any thing to. The group that practised learned to juggle faster then the other group and where better than the other group.

Lesson 2 ( Maths and Mindset)
What are some important things you learned today that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph, please.
The students that were called smart chose the easier test because they didn't want to look silly if they got the harder 1 wrong. Those who were told that they were working really hard chose the harder problem because they believed in them self's and so did their teachers.  2) We shouldn't tell people that they are smart cause it can make people feel silly if they get anything wrong.

Lesson 3 ( Mistakes and Speed)
What are some important things you learned today about mistakes, struggle, and speed that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph, please.
In maths when you make mistakes it means you are learning. Maths isn't about being fast and always getting everything right. Maths is about thinking about the problem then giving reasoning about why you got that answer. Struggling is also a good thing because when you struggle it means you are learning.


Lesson 4 ( Number Flexibility )
In this session we have learned about number flexibility, talking, reasoning and mathematical connections. Write about some of these important ideas for someone of your own age. In a paragraph explain to them why these ideas are important for their learning.
It is important to take your time and explain your reasoning in Maths. It is important to explain your reasoning so you know how you got to that answer. I also learnt that it is good to have a growth mindset so you can believe in yourself to become a good mathematician. The last thing is number flexibility you can always change the numbers and use varies different strategies to work out a problem.

Lesson 5 ( Number patterns and representation )
In this session we have talked about making sense, drawing and representing, using intuition, and looking for the big idea.What are some important things you learned today that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph, please.

When you are doing fractions it is most important that all the pieces are equal so that when you are trying to figure it out there is no confusion. In fractions there are no rules .

Lesson 6 ( Maths in nature and in work )
In this session we learnt about maths in the world and how animals and nature uses maths in its everyday life. ( We didn't write anything in here we just answered a survey )
