Perimeter and Area

Hello everyone,

For the last weeks, we have been learning about perimeter and area. After learning about multiplying two sides of the shape, (height and length) to get the area, our teacher Miss D, created a fun presentation for us to figure out the perimeter and area of shapes. The hardest part for me was figuring the area because I multiplied the perimeter too much. The easy part was finding the perimeter. The learning behind this was to learn about perimeter and area.
Here is my presentation:
Thank you Dad for helping me!

Designing a game with Code

Hello everyone,
Today we have been creating our own games on Scratch Junior. My game was about me trying to get to a house. We used arrows in the North, South, West and East directions. We coded them so every time me clicked them the person would move in that direction. My favourite part was trying to complete my game. The hardest part was getting the person to the end. The learning behind this was to know how to create a basic game. I learnt about the tap button. I learnt how if you have coded the code properly when you touch one of the characters they will make another character move.
Here is a screencastify about me doing my game:

Maths Halving

Kia ora,

Today, we have been halving shapes. We had to get into pairs and rule a shape. Then, our buddy had to find out where was half in their shape. I found it easy to find half in my buddies shape because the shape was very plain. One half of my buddies shape was 19 boxes. I enjoyed designing my shape. I found it hard to draw my shape onto my chrome book.  Sorry if the halves go over the grid.
Here is my shape:

Mixed - Ability Maths

Kia ora,

This term we have been doing mixed - ability maths groups. The purpose was to help other kids learn different strategies for maths. We had to use different strategies to work out different problems.
How I feel about? I don't mind working in a group because I get to learn about how different people solve maths problems.
What I have enjoyed? I have enjoyed working with my group because they are always happy and I help them learn new strategies for maths. I also like it because they teach me their ways they use to solve problems like times tables and skip counting.
What I have found difficult? I found it tricky to work with my group because they sometimes are unfocused and are chatting to their friends. I also find it hard to work with my group because they ignore me or start singing and stop listening to my working out.
What can I do to change my negative thinking?
Give the pencil more often to my group member's and try to ask them more questions to get them to listen.

Maths Understanding

Kia ora,

For the last three days, we have been solving maths problems. We have to work them out by using two strategies. One is equal adjustments and the other one is place value partitioning. We had to make a google draw to show how we worked the problems out. I enjoyed figuring out the problems because I liked using equal adjustments. I found it tricky to work out one of the problems because the number went over the tens. The learning behind this task to know how to use equal adjustments and place value partitioning.
Here is my slide show about my maths understanding:

Coding

Hello everyone.
Today we had a lady named Cassandra come in to teach us about coding. We had to pick a scientist from a slideshow that Cassandra shared us. We also thing that the scientist had get collect . We had to put danger zones in as obstacles. We then had to make the code for our scientist so that he can get to the thing. I enjoyed making the course for the scientist. It was hard to make the code. The whole learning was to learn how to code paths to get through coursers.
Here is my coding:

Team Moana's Favourite Things

Hello bloggers.
For the last couple of weeks we have been making graph to show what Team Moana's favourite things are. Some of us could choose to do a pie graph. Most people could only do bar graphs. I was allowed to do a pie graph. I found to easy to put the data into the graphs. I found to hard to collect all the information. The whole learning behind this was to learn statistics.
Here are my graphs:

Animals Reproduction

Hello fellow bloggers.
Today and yesterday we had to make a DLO about the reproduction of an animal.  We had to choose out of a sheep, cow, llama or chicken. I chose chickens. I found it easy to find information about chicken since I know a lot about them. I found it hard to remember everything about a chicken. The whole learning behind this was to find out how animals reproduce.
Here is my DLO about Chickens:

Figure Me Out!

Today and yesterday for maths we were doing figure me out posters. We had to find equation that equal our age, shoe size, birth month, birth date, number of people in our family, number of letters in our names, number of pets we have and number of sports games we've been to. We had to use a division, multiplication, addition and subtraction equation. I found it easy to find easy to work with my buddy. I found it hard to fit everything on my google draw.
I hope you find the answer to the equations:

My numeracy learning.

At the end of this year, my teachers said I was working at Early Stage 7 in numeracy. This is because when I am solving any kind of problem, I use a lot of different strategies plus my basic facts knowledge is very good. Here is a checklist of the numeracy knowledge I have gained during the year.  I still have a few gaps at Stage 6 level and I'm going to work on them over the holidays.

Go to the checklist here:

Geometry

Hello fellow bloggers,
For the last few weeks our focus for maths has been Geometry. We got to choose geometry tasks to complete. I created a google slide with my geometry things on it.

PAT/Star tests T4

Hello fellow bloggers,
Yesterday we did a PAT maths test to see if we have learnt anything from the beginning of the year. In T1 I got 26/35 and in T4 I got 33/35. I am very happy that I have improved. The two questions I got wrong were: interpret a pictograph where each unit stands for 2 horses and Reflect a shape in a horizontal mirror line.
Here is my test:

Temperature

Hi fellow bloggers. For the last 4 weeks we have been doing activities on temperature for our ski trip. I have learnt what thermometer measure what. I also learnt what's the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Here is a drawing to with my links to my activities that I have been doing.

Silly Sentence

For the past few weeks we have been learning about temperature. We had to make a silly sentence to remember how to spell Thermometer. We made our silly sentence with a buddy. I chose Brooke.

Here is our Silly Sentence:

Maths Graphs

We have been learning about graphs. I used the information from this sheet of paper and made a graph showing the number of books read by students in year 5.

My Graph shows that Naomi read the most book of the 6.
Ned read the least of the 6, he read 22 books.

If all 6 students add their books that they read together they would have 188 books.


We also created a line graph to show the temperature over the week.

This Graph shows that Friday is the hotest day of the week.

Thursday is coldest day of the week in my graph.

Monday and Wednesday are the same temperature.

Maths Strategy

Here is a strategy I have learnt and am good at. I have made a video using Screencastify to show how to work it out.

Measurement

For Maths we have been learning about measurement. So I made a DLO (digital learning object). I created one to explain Area and Perimeter. Here is a video I made.

Fractions

Here is my Fraction assessment. I got everything correct in my assessment. 

Paper Spinner

We made paper spinners for Maths. We had to use our fractions and shape knowledge to help us fold our spinner.  We decorated our spinner with pattern and colours. We battled our spinners with a friend. My spinner looked pretty when it spun.

What is Translation, Reflection and Rotation?

We have been learning about Translation, Reflection and Rotation. I made a drawing to show what they mean.
