Weight Challenge

 

L.I: To create a DLO about any of the Weighty Maths Challenges.

This week we were put into groups for math in these groups we made up names that  represent maths or includes maths names, our name that we chose for our group was The multiplying 7’s because we had seven people in our group and we were supposed to multiply our questions we were given. In the multiplying 7’s were Victoria our leader Giovanni, Makaili, Afa, Ong, Lily and I. We put all of our opinions together to come with different solutions to solve our challenges and we would have to ask questions if we didn't understand the question or ask for help because no one should have sat in silence because we are a team and we are all  supposed participate so we all can have friendship even though we haven't worked together but we did make a big difference and we worked as a good team whether we liked  working together or not. Something that I enjoyed about this activity was that I got to work with people I haven't worked with a lot. 

Lowest common multiple

   

L.I: Is to find the lowest common multiple

This week for maths we were learning how to find the lowest common multiple. We first learnt by doing 1 digit by 1 digit and started moving on to even harder questions. This activity was fun because we got to work in a group. The people in my group were Matthew, Giovanni and Ong. The lowest common multiple is when the 2 numbers have the same multiple, that is the lowest. For an example 8 and 6, we know that 8 x 3 and 6 x 4 equals 24 and nothing is lower than 24. To find the lowest common multiple, the easiest way to do so, is to multiply both numbers. If we were to find the lowest common multiple of 4 and 5. We multiply both numbers, which makes 20. There are no lower common multiples than 20. This is a strategy we all found out, from doing the first 3 questions.

Making Connections to Problem Solving

L.I: To explore problem solving.

We explored problem solving because we had no internet connection. The steps were easy to follow because the steps were told one at a time but we needed to listen carefully. Tangrams were made in China around 200 or 300 years ago, and Tangrams were used to cure boredom and Tangrams. We created our own Tangrams with one A4 paper and a pair of scissors. We used our problem solving skills by trying different options to make different animals. The Tangram includes of seven pieces. The hardest shape to orientate was the rhombus and the easiest one was the square. This was fun to do because we got to get creative.

Negative Numbers Maths Challenge

LI: To add and subtract positive and negative numbers

This week for Maths we made a DLO about Negative Numbers. We have been learning to add and subtract Negative Numbers which has been fun to do. We wrote our own question about negative numbers we chose do do my name and a character from a Naruto. This activity was fun to do because I got to learn about negative numbers.

Blog Post Analysis

L.I To analyse our blog post data to help us set blogging goals.

I used the statistacal information on my blog to help me set goals for 2020. Before I can publish a blog post I need to complete the task. I worked the average number of posts I made for each month and used this data to set a realisitc and acheivable blogging goal.

Lerna's Hydra

L.I To understand the exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

This week for  Maths we made a DLO on Lerna's Hydra which was a mythological character. We answered two questions about it's head, and how when one of it's heads get cut off another two grow back. One of the questions were how many heads would the Hydra have in three days. We worked in partners I was with Azatulah. First we practised on a maths site which had a quiz. Then we wrote the questions, the answer and the working out on our book. The Maths this week was fun to complete.

Maths DLO

L.I To find the most efficent strategy to solve the problem.

This week LS2 were working on a DLO about Ta'Ovala. The answer we got was 39 We did, 1/2 of 12 which was 6 then 1/2 of 6 is 3, 1/2 of 3 is 1.5. The 1.5 x 26 = 39. The question was How many metres would they need to make 26 Ta ‘Ovala? The main information was For 8 Ta ‘Ovala, it takes 12 metres of material. This Maths challenge was fun to complete.

Maths Challenge DLO

L.I to find the most efficient strategy to solve the problem.

This week I made a DLO with my partner Ong about Fish. We got four questions, the question were about fishing. The main information was that they caught three fishes every hour and threw 1 fish in the first hour and subtracted 1 from the three fish. We added the main information. This activity was fun to complete.

Maths challenge 1

L.I to rind the most efficient strategy to solve the problem.

This week I worked with Matthew to complete a Maths cahllenge because it is the second day back at school. This activity was about weight, fractions and fish. We first tried to work it out on a piece of  paper. After that we made a DLO and copied the information on the paper onto the google drawing. Once we completed the DLO we presented them to some of the class then blogged it. This challenge was fun because I could communicate with someone.

Maths Challenge 1

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

for another one of my Maths Challenges this one was about bread slices. I had to find out how much loaves of bread Whaea Marama needs to oder to cater for 267 people. For my strategy I used division and multiplication. This challenge took a short amount of time to complete and it was fun to complete aswell.

Maths Challenge 2

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For one of the maths challenge like the others this one was my favourite to do because it was about a Hangi. Hangi is a traditional New Zealand Māori method of cooking food using heated rocks buried in a underground oven. I used two different stratagies the easiest one for me was the one at the bottom. This challenge was fun to complete.

Maths Challenge 3

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For the third maths challenge it was the same as the other two maths challenges. The third maths challenge was really simmilar to the first one it was about a Ula Lole or Kahoa Lole. I had to find how many red fruit bursts and green fruit bursts would fit in a amount of a Ula Lole like how many red fruit bursts would fit in a Ula Lole that can hold 65 lollies. This challenge was also fun to complete like the other ones.

Maths Challenge 2

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For the second Maths challenge it was like the first challenge but different questions and a different topic. In Q3 Once I figured out to add 7 + 4 = 11 it was easy to come up with the strategy to find out how many in total Koro and Zion had harvested between them. This challenge was fun to complete.

Maths Challenge 1

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For one of my Maths challenges this week I made a DLO about Kahoa Lole which is a lolly necklace. This chalenge I answered 3 questions that were given to us. One of the questiong were Nana is making Kahoa Lole for prize giving. If every Kahoa Lole has 21 lollies in it and she has 138 lollies. How many Kahoa Lole can she make and how many lollies will she have left over? Once I answered all 3 questions I explained the strategy I used to answer these questions. This challenge was fun to complete.

Team Challenge

This week for maths we made a collaborative team challenge where we had to use different strategies that we were comfortable with. Our group chose to use an algorithm to help us solve a problem.

Thinking Teams

Today in Maths we worked in our thinking teams to find out the value of our team name. My group was the TAKE-AWAYS. to do this activtity we used addition stragies and our place value knowledge. In the second activity we worked in our group to put the population numbers from different countries. We collaborated and used our problem solving skills.

Transformation

Today LS2 were learning about 4 different types of transformation. We Made DLO's to show the four different types of transformation. An example of transformation reflection or symmetry it's were you put a mirror on an object and it looks the exact same on the mirror. We did this task to understand transformation.

Financial Literacy (Maths)

L.I To understand profit equals income minus expenditure.
This week for our maths lesson we played a financial literacy game to help us learn about discounts,overdrafts in bank accounts. This game was fun but some of the questions we had to solve were kind of challenging. The purpose of this game was about profit. Even though I had a big loss I had fun in the end. The amount of money I had lost was - $65.20. We did this challenge with a partner my partner was Jayden.

The real cost of owning a dog

This week for Maths we were in groups or pairs and we made a copy of a Goggle Sheet to help us find the cost of a dog but we had to find a dog using a site were you answer questions and it will give dog that matches the questions you answered. We to find out how much money we would have to spend on our dog in it's whole lifetime. Th most expensive thing was the food which would come to for each year $672.26. This math activity was fun to complete.

Pitch Maths

As for maths we worked really well using our collaborative skills on achieving to getting our work done. It was a lot of work but as we negotiate our thinking to one an another we finished the task. My group was Giovanni, Matthew and I. I think that we should try and work on our word problem.
