Hidden Cost Challenge

LI: To make smart choices with money

For maths we had an ASB Getwise Challenge that helped us make smart choices with money.This activity was really helpful because it helped me think about being wise with my money or budget given.Something I found interesting about this activity was doing challeneges that help us be wise with our money given to us.Something I learnt from doing this challenge was being wiser with the bduget of money you are given adn to think before making you descsions.

Addition Challenge

 LI: To create a DLO about your thinking of how you got your strategy  to the question 

Today task for maths were complete a addition or subtraction challenge and complete all of the questions and pick one for a DLO and explain the starthey you use to find the answer to the question . I have made a screencastify explaining my strategy that could be easier to understand for the audience who are reading my work . The reason why i chose this strategy was because it made it clear for me to understand the question and the strategy i used to get the correct numbers for the question . Something i found interesting was using my knowledge that i knew that could help solve the problem to my question . 

Statistical Investigation

LI:To plan and carry out a statistical investigation 

Our  task in maths today was carrying out a statistical investigation to gather   data to create a data graph of the questions we asked people  in LS2 . I worked with Te Raumati so we could think about four questions to ask people and then in the end we have to scan through all of questions and think about what question was best to use for data graph . As you can see we picked Whats LS2's favourite colour,  we noticed that  40.0%  LS2 chose blue making it the most popular. Something I found interesting is getting to talk to different people and what their answers were. In the beginning I predicted that more people would pick the colour purple or white because a lot of people would have used white when colouring in something or using colours to create their DLO. 

Maths Challenge

 LI: To create a DLO about how many presents i could use with $100 that i can split between 5 ways . 

This DLO is about what presents i would buy for my household with exact $100 dollars budget . I shopped at warehouse and gave a clear explanation why i bought how much money i had left and what my item i bought for them . Something i found interesting about doing the maths challenges were about exploring through the warehouse online shopping to find a present i thought my family would like . One thing i learnt was how to use my money wisely . 

Measurements

 LI: To learn about mass and weights 

This week we were put into groups for math In these groups we made up names that  represent maths or includes maths names  , our name that we chose for our group  was The multiplying 7’s because we had seven people in our group and we were supposed to multiply our questions we were given . In the multiplying 7’s were Victoria our leader Giovannie,Makaili,Afa,Karlos , Ong  and Lily  , we put all of our opinions together to come with different solutions to solve our challenges and we would have to ask questions if we didn't understand the question or ask for help because no one should have sat in silence because we are a team and we are all  supposed participate so we all can have friendship even though we haven't worked together but we  did make a big difference and we worked as a good team whether we liked  working together or not . Something i learnt about mass and weights was being able to get help on mass and weights and how i can understand it better , It was helpful to me seeing how other people in my group came up with a solution to our question and it made me more confident about maths .

Understanding fractions with Mr Fisi'iahi

 LI: To learn how to group and split in fractions This week is our last session with Mr Fisiiahi for this term as it was last week.

For this week my group and I worked on fractions and played a game called Play tower of hanoi.

We also used Multi Link cubes to help us understand fractions and to help us solve the questions.

I really enjoyed playing with my partner solving fraction questions.

 We also played a game called Dicy numbers which got us into partners. 

This game was really fun and competitive as we had to see who was the first one to win.  

Understanding fractions helps us understand the groups,twice and the double. 

Double means twice as example 6+6=2 or 6 x 2=12.

Do kids spend more time reading than teens

 LI: Identify patterns and relationships between data . 

Today my group members and I worked with Mr Fisi’iahi, He taught us about statistics and gathering data. We then gathered all the data and turned it into a graph. We also learned about the different types of  graphs and which is the best type of graph we should use to represent the data. Mr Fisi’iahi helped us understand the meanings as an example we learned what pre-teens  means, Pre teens means 12 and under which means teens means 13 and above. We also used a data card to help us understand more on what our learning is about. Something

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.

Connections to problem solving

LI: To explore problem solving

Today our internet  connection  wasn't working   so  LS2 and LS1  challenge was to listen carefully   to the  simple instructions  we were given on  how to create an ancient  Chinese   Tangram puzzels and problem solve .  We used  one piece  of AV paper and  we used scissors to cut  our paper to  create   our Tangram puzzel  and  I and Wairaka from LS1  collaborated together and communicated together to try and problem solve our Tangrams puzzle to make  different kind of animals . Me and Wairaka found making animals out of our Tangram puzzle hard until we asked  each other for helped and  we communicated by asking question by asking why is this puzzle different to each others . I  and Wairaka  managed to make a cat and a duck out of our Tangram puzzels   by asking for each other for help and working together as a team  .

Long Division

LI: To use the strategy of long Division . 

For this task we learnt how to do long division. We had to learn each step of  long division.After we learnt about long division we had to make a DLO to show people how to do long division. We had an example and instruction of how to do long division. I completed this task with Afatia  and Jayden. Me , Afatia and Jayden worked collaborated and put all of our opinions  to make a strong connection to long division . 

Find different strategies/ maths

LI: To find most efficient strategy to answer the question.

This week our group practised finding the answer to written maths questions. To do this we needed to first find the numbers we were working with. We decided the most efficient strategy was to use our times table knowledge. Being able to find how many groups of a number made this strategy efficient.

Blog post Analysis

LI: To analysis our blog post data to help us set blogging goals.

 

 

 I used the statistical information on my blog to help me set goals for 2020. Before I can  publish a blog post I need to complete the task. I worked the average number of posts I made for each month and used this data to set a realistic and achievable blogging goals.   i want  to reach 96 blog posts before the end of 2020.
