Algebraic with Mr Fisi'iahi

 LI : To solve and create algebraic equations .  

Today my group and I  learnt Algebra with Mr Fisi'iahi. We started off by finding out the values of the animals. The animals we did were Piwaiwaka,Gecko,Kiwi,Tuatara and Pukeko. We summed up an answer then we  simplified the answers to make it easier to understand and explain what's happening. We created a DLO with our algebraic equations but we had to make the question unbalanced so that Mr Fisi'iahi could make it balanced, we had to create for Mr Fisi'ahi . I really enjoyed working with my partner and my group to answer the questions we’re trying to solve.These tasks and questions help us understand and explain what Algebra is.  We also learned how to balance the animals on a log or plan to make it equal and even. Something I learnt today is   about how to explain what Algebra is and how to solve the problem by using each other's opinions and put it together to create a solution to our problem . Instead of using the numbers like 1 we learnt how to simplify the number . I worked with Liletina to create a problem solving for Mr Fis'iahi to solve , I enjoyed collaborating with Liletina because i enjoyed using each others opinions to create a DLO by using what we know and what we learnt about using the values what the animal equal.
