For maths today I had the opportunity to test my knowledge of my times tables. Here as you can see I have written down my times tables for 3-12 and I have been practising with one of my friends Kymani. Together we tried our best to achieve all times tables before the years end especially because Kymani will be leaving to college soon so it is best to learn our times tables for a brighter future.
Today for maths Team tui had a meeting in room 12 for our weekly number talk. For today’s number talk we learn about Integers. Something I really enjoyed learning about Real numbers such as Natural, Whole, Integers, Rational, Irrational and Real. Something I really enjoyed learning about Integers is that it counts both ways negative and positive.
Today after Glen Taylor had their karakia assembly, Team Tui stayed back to play some Probability games, but first Team Tui were put into 3 groups. Our first rotation activity were bottle flip. What we had to do was get a bottle flip on camera to get a prize. Our second rotation was that we had a list of specific type and kind of cards we had to flip over. For example we had to flip a card within the number 5 and 10. Our last rotation was Greedy pig. In this activity we each get one dice. We have to roll the dace and add it up to 50 then we will get a treat. But if we roll the number 1 we would have to go back to 0. My experience during the fun games was challenging because some of us arnt as talented and some of us are. But so far today kicked off with a good start.
For maths today I can gladly say that I have beaten my goal once again. My goal last time I did hit the button was to get over 30 and I managed to reach my goal by getting a total score of 32. This time my score for hit the button was 35. For prototec, before, my timer was over 3 mins but luckily this time I was able to do my times tables in 2 mins. I am truly grateful that I was able to achieve a higher score.
For Maths today we got the choice to 2 choices to either play hit the button or prototec so me and my buddy decided to give them both a try. Somehow I managed to get 100% on Prototec on my timetables. As you can see the timetables I accomplished were 1,2,5 & 10 in 3m 7s. My goal was to get at least 30 on hit the button but some how I was able to get over that number by 2. To be honest it was very challenging due to the amount of time I had to reach my goal but in the end I new I was going to make it especially when I had my buddie by mine side.
1. On Sunday they each did their homework for only 30 minutes.
2. On Saturday Jessie watched 3 hours TV, Nina watched 2 hours and 30 minutes of TV, and Ruka watched 4 hours on TV instead of using his time wisely and doing his home work.
3. Yes it is true because Jessie watches more TV then doing her homework / She did her homework for 2 hour the whole week.
Today in maths, Team tui drew a random shape to measure its length – distance. We had to get in a group of 3 to work together to pick and create a shape. It didn’t have to be an ordinary shape just as long as you could measure it. We used strings to measure the curvy lines and used rulers to measure the straight lines. In total the perimeter around the shape was 48.8 cm.
For maths team tui’s focus was all about what a campus is used for. Something I really enjoyed working on this was being able to work with my best friend Kymani but also was taking my time colouring with different shades of one colour. Something that was challenging to me was actually trying to use a campus to make a flower.
For today’s maths we have been learning about how to use the strategy of BEDMAS. This maths was pretty challenging for me because this was the first time I have learnt how to use it. Even though it was very complicated I still managed to finish in the end.
For today’s maths we were learning about how to create an equation using google sheets. We then had to use the equation to calculate more numbers. We also had to create a chart using all the information we have gathered from the table.
