Maths Learning Story

In maths we did a learning story on what we have done. We had to think back to what we have learnt and write it down. Here is the learning story.

What We Did:  We did a plan for our narrative writing where we could choose if we wanted to do Horror, Fantasy, or Myths and Legends. We did some orientation in our planning to help us in our story. We did some sequence of events for our story we are gonna write.
What I Learned:  I learnt some more vocabulary so I could use it in some of my other work. I learnt how to do a more detailed plan and how
My Favourite Parts: I liked doing the plan because I got to choose what topic it was and how many characters I could have. I liked learning some new vocabulary because I can use it in a lot more stuff. I also liked when I got to choose what is in my story.
My Next Steps:
CARR Values:  Make a statement below describing how you showed each of our CARR values during this Hurumanu.
Commitment I got ready with all the equipment I needed.		Achievement I have finished my plan on time and went ahead to start writing my story.
Resilience I kept on going even if it was hard to think of something to put.		Respect I respect my teachers even if they were a reliever.

Maths DLO

In maths we have been learning a few different things. We had to do a DLO on what we have done. We had to explane how to work it out and also show an example. Here is the slide show.

Mean, Median, Mode, Range

In Maths we are making a Dlo about how to figure out what the Mean, Median, Mode and Range of a set of numbers. I made a slide about all of them and then I gave an example. Then I made a video about it whats just me flicking through the slide but I'm not gonna put it in this blog post I'm just gonna put slide show on this blog post. Here's the slide show. 

8 Facts about Mars. Hur 3

For the past few days we have been learning about Mars. /We have to make a Dlo showing 8 Facts about Mars. Mars is a really cool planet even if we are going to fly up to Mars in 2025 that's still a really long time to wait. But still I have 8 facts about Mars. Here's a hint of one of them. There's some amount of rovers on Mars. Don't search the answer because that will be cheating. Doing this was really fun and easy. I have a question for you guys, whats a your favourite thing about Mars.
8 Facts about Mars on Biteable.

Alien Invasion

 For the past few weeks the yellow groups has been figuring out some Maths questions. The questions are about an alien invasion what has appeared in Manford city. First we had to find out where the aliens have landed by listening to a radio report and news report. Then we had to find out some other questions. The hard part was finding out where all the alien ships had landed but the easy part was doing the Zoo sheet. We haven't finished but we are still working on it.(Probable right now!)

Nest Eggs. Reading graphs.

Today in Maths strand we have been learning about graphs. But today we had to answer and make the questions. First we had to make the key what was a hole chicken was 10 eggs and half a chicken was 5 eggs. Then we had to make the graph what had the days of the week and how many eggs were layed in each day. We also had to do a graph what was a summer one what was twice the amount of eggs in each day. The hard part was making the graphs and the easy part was doing the questions.

Make and create the decimal numbers

Today in Maths we have been learning to make decimals. Mrs McGuinnitey wrote down five decimals numbers on the white board. After she wrote them we had to make them by making rectangles with ten boxes in them. I learnt who to make decimal numbers. The hard part was doing the hundredths and the easy part was making the tenths.

Find a fraction of a number

Today for Maths we have been learning about Fractions. We had to find the fraction of a number. eg. 3/7 of 35. It was very tricky but me and my friend Dylan helped each other and we managed to complete it. Here are some of the questions we had to figure out.

Maths-Directions and Coordinates

In Maths we have been learning about Directions and Coordinates. We have been using the vocabulary North, South, East, West. We had to make a Treasure hunt. Can you follow our instructions to find the treasure?

The Seven Stars of Matariki-Maths

Today in Maths we looked at a photo if the 7 stars of Matariki. We talked about polygons. Polygons are shapes. We had to use the position of the stars to create different shapes. The most simple shape I made was a triangle. The most complex or difficult polygon I made was my 7 one.

grid map

Today in strand Maths we had to make a map 8 by 8. We had a star in the middle and it was a person what we had to make and crazy path the a question mark. We could only use 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees and 360 degrees. After we finished we got a partner and we went outside and used a big grid (Not that big) and made our partner step it out. The grid was drawn with chalk so we kept on having to draw some of the lines again. The hard part was writing the instructions and the easy part was making the map.

Sticking together. Place Value Addition

Today for Maths we have been learning to solve big problems using place value. We found some of the bigger problems were harder but some were easy. Has your Maths class done place value addition before? Please comment if you have.

Going on a bear hunt

In Maths we are learning about directions. We listened to the story Going on a bear hunt. We picked out the obstacles in the story. We then drew a map of the story. We had to carefully think about where the obstacles were so that they covered up the hole page. Then we had to write directions from the house to cave. We had to use North, East, South and West.
Directions: Start at the house. Go East for 200 meters towards the waving grass. Then go West for 100 meters towards the river. Next go North for 3 meters then, go East for 190 meters to the mud pit. After that go 300 meters towards the dark and creepy forest. Now go North East for 110 meters to the ice cold snow storm. Last go West 100 meters towards the bears cave.

Oink and Cluck

Today and on Friday we have been doing a problem in buddies. The name of it is Oink and Cluck. So someone is driving along the road but then tones of pigs and chickens were in front of his car. He counted 36 legs so we had to turn that into the amount of pigs and chickens there are. So a pig has four legs and a chicken has two. It's a little hard to find out how many there is but we manage to get four. My buddy was Mitchel. We found three answers what we got doing this.

4x9=36 so there's 9 Pigs.

2x18=36 so there's 18 Chickens.

18+18=36 so there's 4 Pigs and 7 Chickens.

20+16=36 so there's 10 Chickens and 4 Pigs.

Two-digit Targets.

For maths today my group the yellows have been doing some independent games. The game I did was Two-digit Targets. When you play the game you get numbers 0 to 9. You can only use each number once and what you need to do is, put all of them in at least one box to make the biggest even number and odd number, closest to 50, smallest odd number and largest multiple of 5. It's really hard but it's fun trying to do. The easiest part was the largest even number and the hardest was the largest multiple of 5.

Measurement part one

In maths we are learning about measurement. Today we learnt about meters. First we wrote items in the class that we thought was about a meter. Next we had to actually measure them to see how long the item was. Then I had to work out the difference between my guess and the actual measured. The hardest part was when I had to think of an item to measure.
