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.

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.

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.
