What I've learnt in math so far this term

This term my class has been learning about algebra and decimals.

I joined a group this term of five girls. Eva, Manaia, Emma, Tia, and I. In this group we get a little bit more help from Miss Fleet. She sets us up while everyone else reads, and makes sure we know what we are doing. Then she will go and teach the rest of the class. We started off by doing work sheets then we moved on to more advans activities that involved resources. I could already see improvements in my math skills, I think that its good that I'm in this group because I have always been a tiny but behind in math and I wanted to catch up. It’s been important to me to focus more when it comes to math so I don't fall behind.

Work sheets

Day 1 -We started off with adding decimals. I found this hard to understand at the start. But then when I went down to the mat for help Miss Fleet gave me so play money to help. Then soon enough I got it and I was speeding through the questions.

Day 2 - Next we learnt about the placings of numbers in decimals, with a worksheet. I found that pretty easy and moved onto the next worksheet in a flash. Then I did a worksheet about adding decimals and that one got a bit different to the end but I figured it out. Then I did a different worksheet and this one involved word problems with decimals.

Day 3 - I did a worksheet about transferring decimals into fractions. In this worksheet it gave you a visual box with lines to help you get started. Then at the end there was no box to test your abilities and see what you have learnt.



Visual activities

After we got the hang of what we were doing we then moved on to visual activities.

Day 1 - We started off with using A4 pieces of paper to understand how we can turn a whole into tenth and more. Our challenge was to fold a piece of A4 paper so it had ten even boxes in it. Now this was much harder than it sounds and only two girls in our group got it right. Eva and Tia.



Day 2 - Day two was today and what we did was we had to match the decimals to the fraction the matched them.This was pretty simple but it took us some time because we were having fun blowing the paper around. But we finished in the end. There were lots of double ups on some fraction so we tried pairing the double ups with different fractions. We learnt that with decimal you can take the zero off the end and it would still mean the same thing.

    

I have learnt a lot since being in the group and I'm glad I joined. :)

Squaring whole numbers

WALT - square whole numbers


 Reflection -
I found this activity pretty easy and interesting.
I now know why square numbers are called square numbers.
And I know how to properly square whole numbers.

Enlarging cartoon characters

WALT- Enlarge cartoon characters by 2.5 cm for our math activity this week

Reflection-I found this activity so fun, it was a great challenge I would love to do it again.
I was hard at first but then I got the hang of it, it was nice that Miss van der Voort let us
choose our own character.I know that I will do this again (properly after I’ve finished writing this)
There are no negatives that I have to say about this work because I loved doing it so much.

Wellington Places Google My Maps

Walt - Upload a live google map to our blog, and use google my maps to find out how long and far it will take us to get to pacific places


These are all my answers to the question my teacher has ask use to find out using Google My Maps.




Refection

I think I could work faster to get my work done before my classmates
I think is was fun to try something new in my learning using technology
I feel that it got hard at sometimes but I problem solved and used my brain and figured it out

Pie Chart

I learn form this pie chart that my class most likes six60. I though that Guns and Roses would of had a bigger inpate then what it is, I though Guns and Roses would have had more votes than Imagine Dragons. First is six60 second is Imagine Dragons third is Guns and roses and forth\last is Spice girls.

Pie chart

These are the results of my class vote for their favourite games. I learnt that online gaming was the highest vote from my class, and that rugby was the lowest vote. I thought that Fortnite would have had more votes than online gaming, but I guess I was wrong. First is Online gaming secound is Netball third is Fortnite and fourth\last is rugby.
