Maths Goal

I completed my know multiplication and division goal.
I think I did well with my speed.
I think I did well with my technique.
I think I need to work on taking my time.

Maths Week

In this photo I tried drawing a mirror image of an owl, I think I did quite well except the eye because i couldn't get the exact shape.

I was asked to make a tessellation and I started with only the yellow and blue shapes but added the red and made it pop.

We were asked to make a tessellation with chalk and I did a a Square and triangle type pattern.

We made a huge marble run but sometimes it was lopsided and wobbly so we changed it a bit to a more stable piece, I did the marble run with Olivia, Lauren, Sophie and Mekeila. But it was destroyed before we could get an Ipad.

Math Goal

Learn all multiplication facts from 10x10

Level 3 Learning Outcomes:

- gain information from a variety of data displays.

- be aware of the type of data each display is appropriate for and the kind of pattern/relationship it best
communicates.

- link others’ claims with the appropriateness of displays used.

WALT: Sort data into categories

Wiremu is allowed to choose a pet for his birthday. He decides to find out what pets his classmates have.
He gives each classmate a blank data card, asks them to list any pets they have, and collects the cards.
With a classmate, discuss Wiremu’s data. Which information is necessary? Which information is unnecessary?
Which data is difficult to interpret?

Make a comment on one piece of data from above:

Unnecessary group (why is it unnecessary?): because it doesn't really matter to the question

Hard to interpret group  (why is it hard to interpret?): Because it doesn't make sense

WALT: Interpret and communicate findings about data

The class next door did a similar survey to the one above but they were asked to name their favourite pet.
The results are shown on this tally chart and then presented on the bar graph:

Write three statements that interpret the data shown above:

1. Cats are the most liked

2.  guinea pigs are the least liked

3.  Dogs are 6 behind cats

Discuss with a classmate which graph (bar graph or pie graph) you would prefer to use to show the information and
why?

A bar graph because it has numbers and shapes that make it easier and exact

What is the mean of the data above? (Show your working)

12+6+8+4=30 divided by 4 = 7.5

Personal Reflection:

I find sorting data ….. rather easy because of all the numbers that make it easier

SHARING OUR MAORI LEARNING

We are learning to recognise, understand, and use some less common classroom vocabulary.

We are learning to pronounce māori kupu correctly

We are learning to use simple sentences
‘Anei’ (Here is),
‘Kei hea’ (Where is/are),
‘taku’ (my – singular)

The statements and questions with translations from my video:

(taku turu) My Chair
(kei hea taku pene anei taku pene) Where is my pen here is my pen
( anei taku putea) Here is my bag
(anei taku kūra) Here is my school
(anei taku pukapuke) Here is my book

Writing Sample - Persuasive Speech

 

Reflection:

 I think I did well with my speaking and reading because i didn't stutter or say the wrong word but I think i could work on looking at the audience for longer and more

Maths Knowledge Term 2

Week 3 Reflection

Tony showed us how he cast's a criminals footprint and how he can match the shoe with the crime doer by slight details on the shoe like stones unique patterns.

This is Tony's toolbox he would use for crimes it contains many brushes powders and fingerprint samples. 

In this photo Tony is demonstrating how to get a fingerprint sample from glass with powder and a duster.

Crime Scene

name: Inspector Hercule
date: 30th
Time: 12:00
Location: Creative Cave Tiwai, Kaiapoi North School

Crime: Break In/Theft

Crime Scene

I came in through the creative cave by the by the single door, I wasn't sure if it had already been investigated but I still searched for clues and I sure found quite a heap! Such as: Pink Lipstick on a glass, a note saying ha ha this what you get for annoying me and a coin. There were many other clues but I reckon those specific clues actually lead to something. Although there were other clues that didn't lead to anything like a hat, 2 drink bottles and hand and footprints but what I found the most interesting was rounded glass and pebbles on the table were the fish tank was supposed to be I stared at the glass observing every small crack and shine, but my concentration was broken when my assistant walked in with a piece of paper printed faces on white paper, underneath in messy handwriting read suspects underlined and written in black pen. He explained how he got certain people from the principal because they were the only ones with the security code number. I looked at all of the faces and the one thing that came to mind, alibis! Many teachers would tell their students what they were doing and who with so if they were telling the truth their students could confirm it. I left the room without a word and into the large breakout space where a teacher was searching was searching through a whiteboard desk for something When I walked in she straightened her skirt and said good morning inspector which confused me because it was the afternoon I had been here for two hours it was now 2:00, she was obviously preoccupied with something else? perhaps searching trough a desk i just happened to know wasn't hers? I corrected her, took a  breath and asked are you aware of the in the creative cave wh-wh-wh-nooo.....She was obviously lying it was like ten metres away from the room she was in not to mention the same building, I gave her a suspicious look and wrote Mrs McCarthy - suspicious on a notepad.


Clues?
I have a weird feeling  Mrs McCarthy did it with the help of Mrs Lamond. I knew the hat belonged to her so what if she dropped it in fright, shock or horror when someone walked? perhaps Miss Bayliss?
could explain the pink lipstick on the glass.....


Proof
I just know it was them and I am going to prove it because... Miss Bayliss got thirsty and got a glass of water and forgot to do her dirty dishes, Miss Lamond left her hat on such a sunny day!(in fright or not) Oh and don't even get me started on Mrs McCarthy! she wanted to bring her son a harmless pet so she stole her colleagues favourite little fishies Snoop and Dogg and the shoe print is the same size and brand as the one that was left on the floor, BAM! I love it wen i'm right those criminals are going to jail!

Week 1 Reflection

 When we came into class Miss T's fish tank was stolen and clues were left there was a lot of evidence such as hand prints foot prints drink bottles notes a hat coin and glass from the fish tank.
we got to do some investigating on the creative cave. during the investigation  we learnt about finger  prints and handwriting analysis.

 I suspect It was Mrs McCarthy because her picture looks suspicious and in the email she sent my group she put INNOCENT in capitals there was also quite a lot of evidence and clues she said in the interview. One positive is that we got to do some fun detective work and enjoy the first week. I also enjoyed the new maths rotations quite a lot because there is a bigger range of math activities.
