CWR- 19 Feb 2018

Today in maths, I learnt that converting metric units into measurement was hard.  I also played a game were you had to guess what the metric units were. I understand that converting one metric unit into another is somewhat difficult. What I have fully not understood from today's lesson was that if you convert one unit, u must either x's or divide the other number to be able to get the right answer.

Teaching Video

If my maths teacher was to make a video, it would have to be at least 11 minutes and would have some ideal tips for learning. My maths teacher should sit while making the video and do a few examples so we learn more.

CWR INTEGERS 3

Today, I have got a lot of work done. The first thing I was told to do was the board questions in total I got 3 wrong.

What I need to work on is Multiplying and Dividing Integers and Addition and Subtraction Integers. 

Things I need to improve on are Multiplying and Dividing Integers and making sure I understand.

What I have understood from today's lesson is that when you are multiplying with a negative number and a positive number will equal a negative. BUT I still need help with minussing the minus signs.

How can I receive help?  Asking someone who knows like the teacher, my classmates and a calculator can also help me.

CWR- Integers 2

Today I completed a lot of my work. 
I understand that when I add negative numbers to positive numbers you they become a completely become a different number.
I need to work on this topic more.
The teacher can help me!

Mishaela's CWR

Today I got up to the A5 sheet and I need to work on my Positive and Negative numbers. I now understand that i may need to look at asking for help when the situation calls for it. I have not really understood the greater than and less than symbols.I can ask my pupils first and if I still don't understand ask a teacher.

Mishaela's Super Smart Maths Quiz

Last week, we were working on making a super fun google form quiz that can be solved by others. When attempting to solve others, we were told to send our quiz to each other and solve what we were doing. I thought that this was an experience for us to remember.

Probability

Fractions

Fraction summary

Over the last 3 working school weeks we have been learning a lot about Fractions. The types of fractions we have been learning about are Simplifying, Equivalent, Fractions of Amounts, Mixed and Improper fractions, Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. The one I found the easiest was Simplifying and the one I found the hardest was the Fractions of amounts.

• I will give you an example; Simplifying- 20 Apples had to be divided evenly between 4 people. Your friend had 40 lollies and had to be evenly divided by 4 people. How many lollies and apples do they get each?

• Answer:

Because there are 4 people, you can easily divide 20 by 4; So, the 20 can be divided by 4 which equals 5. And if you want to try and be clever you can say 20 can be divided by 5 which equals 4. (Same with the 40)

Answer with the 40 (if you are really smart is 5!). Because if you know your times tables, you can instantly say that you got 5. (Same with the 20)

Maths Goals!

Last week in Te Ngahere we were identifying our next maths goals. Our WALT was to identify what we have achieved in Maths. We were given a brand new Ican sheet and we had to pick the goals we needed and wanted to learn. I chose these goals because I want to extend my learning so that I can get to the National Standards. I will try my best!

My Report Writing, Term 3

This term in Te Ngahere we have been learning about Informational reports. Our WALT was: Write an informational report. We first had to know the structure: Our plan, Title, Introduction, 3 sub topics, and our closing. When we started writing we used the words,  ‘I, Me and this’. These are all Pronouns.

There is a Link for my 2nd piece of Writing.

Comon nouns and Proper Nouns

COMMON NOUNS AND PROPER NOUNS! ^-^

Last week in Te Ngahere we were learning to use Common nouns and proper nouns in our writing, and we all had to attend a whole class workshop because some of us did not use these two things in our writing. We had to be in a group of 2 or 3 and figure out what proper nouns and common nouns are and we had to use pictures to try and explain.

My Maths Goals.

 

Last week In Te Ngahere we started to make a  Google Drawing about our Maths goals. Our WALT was to Identify our next learning steps in Maths, We had to select our goals from our Ikan sheet. These goals will help our teachers plan what we need to learn next In Maths, and make their job easier.

My Writing Goals.

Last week Te Ngahere started to make a Google Drawing about/ around  the stuff we needed to learn for Writing. When we were finished we had to show Whaea Chrissy or Mrs Pou our goals and when they were done we had to make a google drawing about it. The part I liked was that at first we had to do it on a Google slide because we had to proof read it.

Having fun at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.

On Tuesday the whole of Paihia school went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and we had an awesome time!. We planted tree’s, wove kites and played some games. The people at the treaty grounds were very nice and willing to help. My favourite thing to do at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds was playing Maui,Matou and Ki Waenganui  (Maui means Left, Matou means right and Ki Waenganui).

. At some point I would like to take Mum and Alucius ( my brother) to the Treaty Grounds and hope they have a great. Some of the trees we planted were: Nikau and some other plants that I can’t remember what they are.

Taleisha and Lucy are in the process of weaving a Kite.When they are done they will fly their Kite to see how far it will go.
