Word Problems - Week 5.

WALT: Use 2 different strategies to solve word problems.


During this week we've also been learning about Word problems, a few in our class tend to get confused as they're focusing on the words more than the problem. Today we have a few word problems today, take a look in the presentation above to see what I've been working on.

Maths Problems - Week 5

WALT: Solve maths problems.


During class today, I've learnt how to solve math problem. From options like addition, subtraction, division, times tables all into bed-mas. To see what I've learnt and gained so far, check the presentation above.

Niuean Language - Cheeehoooo!

Justifying - I can discuss and justify my responses across texts and material I read and see.


Week 1, During our literacy time our group learnt about Niue! In the presentation above, I had to state my perspective/opinion on what I personally thought and then also state what I thought the author felt in a way. We learnt about the difficulties and struggles of not being able to grow up in the Niue cultural way but also finding out ways that we could actually keep our Niue language alive!

Understanding negative numbers!

WALT: understand negative numbers.

Throughout week 5-6 we've been learning about Negative numbers and how they're different to positive numbers. We learnt how to subtract and add with negative and positive numbers, The number line of it and how this could be use in different things around our lives.

Negative Numbers!

WALT: Understand negative numbers.
 

Throughout week 5-6 we've been learning about negative and how to add/subtract these numbers, I've learnt the differences between positive numbers and negative. That positive numbers are above zero and the negative numbers are below zero.

Extension Work - Maths

See if you can solve these word problems. Show how you worked it out!! (use brackets to expand numbers)

1. It rained 1.35 inches on Saturday and 1.98 inches on Sunday. How much did it rain on Saturday and Sunday combined?

• 1.35 + 1.98 = 3.33
• (1 + 1 = 2)
• (0.3 + 0.9= 1.2)
• (.5 + .8 = 1.3)

2. There were 7.6 litres of water in Jacob's bathtub. Then 2.9 litres drained out. How much water is left in the bathtub?

• 7.6 - 2.9 = 4.7
• (7 - 2 = 5 )
• ( .6 - .9 = .3)

3. A carpenter bought a piece of wood that was 6.15 meters long. Then he sawed 2.14 meters off the end. How long is the piece of wood now?

• 6.15 - 2.14 = 4.01
• (6 - 2 = 4)
• ( .10 - .10 = .0)
• ( .5 - .4 = .1)

4. A chef bought 4.2 kilograms of almonds and 7.8 kilograms of pecans. How many kilograms of nuts did the chef buy in all?

• 4.2 + 7.8= 12.

Statistics - Maths

WALT -  Identify and uses tenths to make numbers

This weeks task was Statistics, We had to Identify the uses of tenths to make numbers. We used graphs, Percentages, Decimals and Fractions. I learnt that I do over think about the question instead of just thinking of the main topic, We learnt about the interpret and a range of graphs. Different graphs have different uses to them.

Recognize Tenths

WALT -  Identify and uses tenths to make numbers

This weeks task was to focus and identify the uses of tenths to make numbers, We compared fractions and decimals and how we could change one to the other. Our class was handed a presentation with 19 slides, We had two weeks to finish this task. We learnt the place value of decimals and fractions and whats the value of it.

Popsicle Decimals.

WALT -  Identify and uses tenths to make numbers


This weeks task was to identify and use tenths to make numbers. We used Popsicle sticks to round up the numbers we were given, We then added both decimals to get the result we wanted. To get the right answer we used Popsicle sticks.

Too Much Telly

Answer below:

1:

• They spend more time watching Tv

2:

• It's different because the time changes every day throughout the week

3:

• Yes because they’ve spent more time watching Tv then doing their homework unless in that small amount of time they finished and it was easy from their perspective.

Answer questions below:

1:

• Same: They both spend more time watching tv then doing the homework.
• Different:Room 5 spends more time doing their homework than Room 6.

2:

• Yes, Did you know that it could wreck your eyesight. It also disturbs your brain, Sleeping patterns and you’ll forget to do things you’re meant to do.

3:

• They spend more time watching Tv or either doing something other than Home Work, What I think we need to do is to at least spend 10 - 20 minutes answering 5 - 10 questions.

Alphabet Multiplication - Boom

WALT -  Understand the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages. Today in class we learnt how to Multiply Alphabet,  So basically what we did was Multiply Alphabet. The letters on top show what that letter equals, What we did was just Add, Subtract, Multiply or Divide the word such as Room, Add, Feb or Sun.

Extension Work - Fraction Practise

WALT -  identify and sort fractions of a number

Since in class I finished all my work, I then had to move on to my Extension work, For people who finish their work early. I had to work out fractions and practise, Check if I'm right. In the presentation above.

Fractions - Maths

WALT -  identify and sort fractions of a number


In class we had to identify and sort fractions of a number. We had to find a whole of a set in a fraction.

Number of the week: Week 1

Today we had to add and work with our number, I got the number 756. I had to add or subtract a certain amount from the number 756, I then had to try and solve word problems from my own perspective of how I want to solve it. This activity was just to re think our learning from last year into this year, this is our  very first maths class of 2017. 

Scientific Method!

WALT: What are they? Why are they important?
What is a variable? ... Let's find out!

This term we are learning about Science! For our experiment we are experiencing how long does a burger take to age, the steps are: First step: A question about the experiment, the question has to be about what you want to find out about what is gonna happen, Second step: Is the Hypothesis, Hypothesis is where you think what is gonna happen. Third Step: The equipment, find out what the equipment you would need to do the experiment. Fourth step: The method, explain how you did it or how are you gonna do it. As you can see in the presentation above I had done all of these four steps and now all I have to do is watch and see of how the burger rots.

Activity 1: Winter Learning Journey

If I was alive 2792 years ago competing in the Olympics, I would represent to be a Runner. In a race people way back in the days would run a Stade, meaning they would have to run from one side of the stadium to the other. People ran two tracks the dialous and the dolichos. The dialous means people ran two lengths of the track, The dolichos means they would ran 20 meters of the track.Why  I did choose running? I chose running because I love to run around from one place to another, another reason is because running is very good for your health and brain, waking your brain up from sleeping or from being very tired. Even though if I had a chance competing in the Ancient Olympics I would still not be able to compete because only men could compete in the Olympics. Women then were allowed to compete in the modern Olympics.

What does kindness mean?

What does kindness mean? Anything could mean Kindness, and it all starts with you. Kindness is shown very well but a few of us don´t  notice it.

If you want to know more about Kindness look at my presentation and you will find ways to show kindness.

Boys2Men

Today we watched a movie about two boys who met when they were running away from home. Malaga and Johno are not blood but they take care of each other like they are real brothers, Malaga and Johno grew up together for 6 years living on the street. From Boy2men, you should really watch this movie as this movie is really interesting.
