Transformations

I learnt about Symmetry and its Rotation,Reflection and Translation.
I learnt about shapes.

Earthquake House

WALT: Learning from each other, Learning with each other

AWESOME!!
On Wednesday it was tuakana teina day, tuakana teina means younger to older. Which means that a senior class has to buddy up with a junior class.

Firstly, Ms Fepuleai did the roll then she explained to us how our behaviour should look and sound like. She told us ways of how we were going to help our buddies from Room 3 keep up with our earthquake proof houses.

Secondly, we then had to walk down to Room 3 so we can start working on creating our earthquake proof houses. When we arrived in Room 3 we looked at a slide based on earthquakes, Ms Fepuleai wrote some of the rules we were going to be looking at while we were answering some of Miss Gormly's questions. We watched a video filled with different types of ideas of how we can make our basic house earthquake proof.

Thirdly,  we all went outside so Ms Fepuleai and Miss Gormly can put us into our groups. In my group was Savannah, Cheska, Tasi and myself. Our idea to make our basic house earthquake proof was to use four long rubber bands and nine red furry  bendy sticks ( Pipe Sticks ). After we finished making our basic house earthquake proof we had to go and tie it onto the playground then Miss Gormly tested it. 

In Conclusion, “ we had a FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC Time ”.

Tidy number maths strategy

WALT: To add tidy numbers.

300+798=1098                300+700=1000+90=1090+8=1098

A clue is the zero.

Multiplication

WALT:Using tidy numbers they usually end with a zero (0)

For example: 124+287=411


  Tidy number (100+200)+(80+20)+(4+7)=411

Making Ten

                    

WALT: Making tens

              

2+8=10         7+3=10

8+2=10         3+7=10

6+4=10     9+1=10

4+6=10     1+9=10

These are my maths strategies

     

Brackets help with tidy numbers

WALT: add and subtract numbers up to 100 using tidy numbers

4+9+6+7+3+8+2+1=40

(9+1=10)(8+2=10)(6+4=10)(7+3=10)(10+10+10+10=40)

Compensating and tidy numbers

WALT:Using tidy numbers
Tidy numbers end with a 0
 -7    +7
229+663=892

222+670=892

 (200+600)+(20+70)+2=892

Numbers to ten.

WALT: numbers to ten
My maths strategy is  numbers to ten.
for example.
6+9+4+1+2=
6+4=10     9+1=10   10+2=12     12+10=22

 so it equals 22

Tidy numbers

WALT: Use Tidy numbers.
Tidy numbers are numbers that end with the number zero (0)
124+287=411
(100+200)+(20+80)+(4+7)=411

Decimals are tidy too!

WALT:  To subtract and divide decimals.


1.4 + 9.8= 11.2
1.0 + 9.0= 10.0
0.8 + 0.2 = 1.0+0.2=1.2
10.0 + 1.2 =11.2

To answer my question I learned a strategy to  figure out the answer.

A new strategy

Who are you?

All about Time.

We are learning about DMIC.
We are learning to tell the time between 9am to 12pm.
We are solving a maths problem my group was presenting to the classroom.
I found it challenge because I was a little hard for me and my group.

Lots of words

In week 1 my class was doing DIMC we were solving a maths problem. The problem was about time. My challenge was trying to speak. My group was sharing our different ideas and there was lots of words.

Liking Maths with DMIC

We worked in groups.We did the problem solving about the time question. We work out the maths in groups.
I liked the maths because it was challenging.

DMIC is underway with Talk Moves

                                                               

Me and my group was working on an maths time problem.  There were so much Maths to work out. When we had finished working it out in our group we had to get up write our work up on whiteboard.  What I found challenging in this time problem was when I had to explain how we got it and what we did. I had the best maths session. 😇
