Saimua- Maths: Drawing Circles

Today we learnt how to use a compass to draw concentric circles and I really enjoyed it. I learnt so much. I felt enjoyment when I made perfect circles and getting to know how to use a compass. My favorite part was using the compass. Next I would like to learn how to make a square. Today’s lesson was fun. I liked using a compass to make concentric circles.

Harrison - Statistical Investigation

Walt:  conduct a statistical investigation.

We used google maps to determine the walking  distance to 124 Apirana Avenue. This is the entrance to the Omaru Creek that we are studying. The screenshot shows the route, distance and time from my house to the creek. Furthest away was Zain who was 4.8km away and it would take him 59 minutes to walk. Jolie however live the closest only 550m away which by walking is 7 minutes. Harrison lives in East Tamaki so I had to work out how far it would be from the train station Next, we will be calculating the mean and the median.

Petuana- Patterns on Muffins

WALT: Study patterns in algebra

Yesterday, my class and I had a decorating muffins competition, but the thing was that it had to be a repetitive pattern. We had to use at least 2 fruits and something else and I used kiwifruit, mandarins, raisins, sunflower seeds and fruit loops. Our decoration had to be a repetitive pattern because for the last 3 weeks we were learning about patterns and rules, and we had to apply our knowledge from that onto a banana muffin. I found this easy and challenging  for me because I already had a pattern in mind and because we only got 10 minutes to decorate. I also found this really interesting and fun because I have never decorated a muffin with fruit before and because we got to decorate our muffin how ever we wanted it to be. The winner of our competition was Ketura. Next time, I’d like to learn how to make calculations with time.

Lana- Patterns In Algebra

Ifa - Decimat

`

First Picture: 1 whole is divided into tenths

Second Picture: 1 whole is divided into hundredths

Third Picture: 1 whole is divided into thousandths

First we had to play a game. In this game you had to roll two dice. The easy part was when you had to colour it in. So if you got five over hundredths then you colour then you colour in five in the hundredths sheet or mat. In the first picture the purple represents one tenth. In the second photo, the green in the left right corner represents five hundredths. In the last photo the black represents two thousandths. The next thing I'd like to learn is to know how to use the place values to solve problems with decimals.

Lauren- Line Graphs And Pie Charts

Walt: Solve Problems

In this game I was learning to revise pie and line graphs. It was a bit difficult at the start but as

I went on it got easier I got the first three right and knew the rest. You needed to know how to add and subtract. I can improve on this by learning more of it. I would like to learn geometry.   

Samuel does Studyladder

Today I am on Studyladder learning about how to read a map.  This all about kilometres and how many minutes it will take to go to the places on the map.  The answer to this problem is Victree.  This was an easy problem because Victree was the closest town to Glenswood.  When I finished the game, I got 2 wrong and 8 right.  I will need to learn more about measurements so I can get 10 right the next time I play.  I would like to learn about decimals next time I play Studyladder.

Ifa- Tidy Numbers

I am learning to round off to the nearest ten. The other word for rounding off is tidy numbers. This game is not that difficult.If the number was greater than 5 then it will be  10 and if it was smaller than 5 than it is 0. It was very easy.This how you do it. If the number is 1234 476 then the nearest ten is 1234 480. I am going to learn more about tidy numbers.

Saleha Tessellation

This is my tessellation image. It was a very challenging piece of artwork because it took me 2 hours to complete. I am happy off the result and maybe I would do another kind of art next time.

What is your Favourite Fast Food? by Trey

Last month I took a survey around to the Glen Innes teachers and children and found out what is their favourite fast food?
I personally took the survey sheet to the teachers and to the children in room 7,8,9,11 and room 12. Fifty people at Glen Innes were surveyed.

I used excel to draw my 3D column graph.

The result showed that the most populr fast food that the children and teachers liked was pizza. The least favourite fast food that the children and teachers liked was the pies.

I think that the teachers and children liked pizza because it was the most healthy.
