Maths - Exponents

Today in our maths session our new topic was about exponents. Our challenge was to answer questions about exponents from a google slide and pick three of them that you want to make a google presentation about. In our google presentation we explained why that was our answer and why we put the numbers there. Mataio and I have enjoyed learning about exponents and learnt that squared refers to 2 when its on top of the big number.

Maths Problem

This is the maths we did today.

Maths - Scale Drawing

Last week we did scale drawing for maths week. Firstly we had to find a image that we wanted to draw and print it out. We then had to draw a grid over it making sure each box was 1 cm. We then enlarged our image by drawing it onto a big piece of paper. To make sure the image was exactly the same it had to be drawn box by box making it easier for us. This was my second time doing this and the best part of it was colouring in the image and finishing it. The part I found hard was drawing in the little details such as the eyes and ears. Next time I will try challenge myself by finding a picture that has a bit more detail. 

Maths Body Measurment

Carl and I created a google slide about our body measurements. We found out that our arm span is the same as our height and our chin to hairline is the same as our foot. We were surprised with the results and the outcome. We found this experiment shocking and interesting.

Maths - Problem Solving using a mix of operations.

Today we solved a maths question using our timetables, subtraction and addition. What was really challenging was we only knew the age of Richard and had to work out the others. San Kyaw and I worked together and had a hard time figuring this maths problem out. We participated our strategies with other groups and learnt from each other to try solve this questions out. We got some help and eventually added up the ages and got our final answers. We all had different strategies and answers from each other and shared our learning from how we got that answer. Even though San Kyaw and I got them wrong this was a good experience to learn from out mistakes and think about what we could do better next time. 

How to measure angles using a protractor

Today we shared our learning on our blog explaining how to measure angles. In the passage we explained how to use a protractor as what the answer was. Affonso and I worked collaboratively and learned how to measure angles using a protractor. When we started we first found this activity a bit difficult but when we got the hang of it, It got easier.

Screen Castify

Today I have created a screencastify about my learning. I created my screencastify about my learning about fractions. I have picked to share this DLO because I had fun and I found this a bit challenging.
I have learnt that a fraction is a group or amount that is split into equal parts a denominator is how many parts there are altogether and a numerator is how much it has been taken or eaten.

Nim

Today I chose to play Nim in this game I had to use my mind a lot because It was a strategy game. This game was really challenging because it go harder by the level. I recommend this game to students enjoy solving problems and good at strategies. I rate this game a 10/8 because was fun but really easy for me.

Freeman - Scale Drawing

Last week I have finished my Scale Drawing and laminated it onto the wall. I decided to do Itachi on the animated cartoon Naruto. I picked Itachi because he's my favourite animated character and found it easy but detailed. I have found this a bit challenging but fun at the same time and will like to do this again.

Time Versus Money

This week for maths we focusing on round numbers to the nearest ten for example if a Ice Block is $1:99 and I round it to the nearest ten the Ice Block will be $2:00 or if a lollies is 1:34 and I round it to the nearest ten the lollies will be $1:30 because there is no 4 cents in New Zealand. 

Flexitangle

Yesterday we created a flexitangle with A3 paper. When we finished colouring we had to cross and score it with scissors and a ruler to make it straight. Lastly we glued the edges and had to fold it to make it look like this picture. After I was done it came out looking like this, even though it was very difficult I had lots of fun doing the process. I have learnt to draw designs bigger to make the colouring part easier and next time when we do a hexiflexigon I need to take my time and do not rush. 

Time table warm ups

Today I used a game "Hit the Button" to help us recall our 4 x answers quickly. I found it harder to find the answer so I will be practising this in my own time.

My Strategy

Today we saw at Tech the year 8s made delicious mince and cheese pie. It took them 15 minutes to cook them all at the same time in the oven. We had to find out how long would it take if all 21 students had to cook their pies one at a time.

Tables Conga

I played Tables conga for Maths after I finished all my task I completed my 3x and now im going to do harder stages.

Battle Sheets

For Maths I played Battle Sheets It was me vs Te Pounamu. This game is all about strategy

to play this game you have to drop 5 As vertically or horizontally also you have to drop 4 Bs Ds and 2 Fs.

To hit the opponent you can place a X mark anywhere onto the bottom left grid. Next to it there is a grid that tells you if you have hit the red signals you have it your opponent Black signals you have missed. Lastly the top right corner sees if they have hit you.

In Maths we measured items in the classroom.We measured the items with a ruler and a thumber ruler which we made.We had to measure the items and find out the Millimeter,Centermeter,Meter,Kilometer and thumbs.We found out that when you spread out your arms and measure from your tip of your fingers to the other side is my whole height.I also learnt that my ear is the size of horizontal line between my eyes.
