Maths Whizz

                                                             Maths Whizz

                                                      What's Math Whizz?

Every week my whole class does maths whizz for 40-60 mininuts through out the whole week. Maths Whizz is a maths web - sight that helps your improve in your maths in all earahs. I find Maths Whizz AWESOME for my learning and helps me improve! Every week, every single person in my class would have had to got at least four credits/gems by the end of the week. In Maths Whizz there are lots of different levels like... Rookie, Apprentice, Pro, Master & Supper - Star.  As you improve you will start to move up levels. I find that Maths Whizz helps me improve in all areas of math! 

                                                   What Maths Whizz Looks Like? 

                As you finish levels you will move down the line then slowly collect gems/credits. 

I really think that you should try have a go on Maths Whizz,  It helps you improve in all areas in your math curriculum.

Matariki Inquiry

 Matariki Inquiry

Like most people who every year there is a celebration called: Matariki. It's a new year celebration especially for maori. Matariki are stars that are very bright. At the moment there are nine stars but there could be more. In different places they have different dates, names, and is different how they celebrate. 

                                                              Matariki sisters names

Our inquiry topic was to choose out of : Drama, Dance, Poetry & Music. 

I was in a group of 8 and we all decided to create a dance. 

After lots of practise we finally had our dance mastered!

So then we filmed our master dance because some of our group will be away when

we all the projects will be shown.

I'm very excited to show 60 people in our class the video of our dance about Matariki.

At the moment I have been leaning how to find the most efficient way to sole math questions using the stridgie called : algorithm. 

For me algorithm was what I found the most efficient way to help me solve hard maths questions.  

It might be hard to use the algorithm strategy for some people.  Sometimes I didn't find algorithm easy, so I practised hard and improved.  Here are some examples. 

 

Finding Information With In and Between Texts.

Finding Information With In and Between Texts. 

In my maths group in MLH we were learning how to find information with in and between texts.  things in my work shop. IN buddy's we had to read two stories and figure out what was the same about those two stories and what was different. Our teacher showed our  group an egsarpile so we all understood the topic.  Me and mu buddy Kyla-rose we worked together and compared two stories together and completed 5he task. This is some slides that I made to show how I have found Information with in a between texts. I loved learning.

Learning how to find new strategies to help us solve problems faster.

 Learning how to find new strategies to help us solve problems faster. 

In maths group we were learning about trying to find the quickest was to solve problems that works for us and what we understand incredibly fast. It took me a while to find out  that algorithm was  what I was best at for bigger questions. So that night I went home and practised lots until I had got the stradgie very well.  There are patterns in maths and everyone needs to look for them to make their maths easier and so they can solve the problems faster. This is a video that I made that might be able to help you understand algorithm easier?  

Learning How To Create New Types Of Pieces Of Art We May Not Have Done Before

 Learning How To Create New Types Of  Pieces Of Art We May Not Have Done Before

" Morning class " our teacher said as she leaped through the see through wide open door. " Today we are going to be going art up to lunch time" our teach explained, the class was so excited. She read the roll out then started to explain what type of art we were going to try to create today.  First she put on a video about the artist that we were going to try make something similar to hers. I found the video very interesting and I found out lost of interesting about the artists life.  

Suddenly I had a piece of paper in my hand and was ready to start my piece of art work. Starting off by drawing the nose and eyes. It was harder then I thought! Slowly my teacher would play the video step by step as we created out pieces of amazing art work. 

Finally I had done my nose and eyes done but it took a while till it was happy with my work I had done. Then we did the next step. We didn't add to much detail to our art work yet because we needed to pastel after we had put vivid over the pencil. Time pasted by very fast and I was all ready past my vivid stage. Pastels were very bright so I decided to blend some colours together and smuge together with my skin on my fingers. 

Once I had finished my mahi I needed to tidy up my working space so I could head off to lunch. I was very proud with my work, and I especially liked how I added golden balls on top of the dark green. All my colours looked very bright. Finally we got to go out to lunch.

Beach Clean Up

                                                                          Beach Clean Up

Yesterday at Wainui Beach School we travelled to the beach in groups of three, each group got a bucket to hold  their rubbish in. We were going to have a competition that what ever group collects the most rubbish would get a prize. It was a nice walk along the beach as we were hunting for rubbish. We walked all the way down to Wainui Surf Club. In my group there was Lila, Aria and me. We all worked very hard. On the way back we found heaps of cans and cups. 

Walking along the cracked concrete finding rubbish was quite fun. Finally we arrived at school and counted our rubbish. We had to make down what we found.  Our Group got 30 pieces of rubbish and six big hand fulles as well. It was a long morning collecting all that rubbish. I was very surprised that we found heaps. It was so sad finding all that rubbish because that means that there is heaps of rubbish everywhere.  

After we got back we found out the winner and nearly the group that came second but they said in there paper that they found five tires but know one found five tires on our trip. I was very hungry when I got back to school because we didn't take our lunch box's on our trip.
