Amazing Fun Maths

Kia ora koutou, This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to divide numbers using multiplication. It was really easy for me because I have done divided by before and I also understand it more then before. The hard part was trying to help other people because I understand it but they didn’t so I made a goal to try help people that need help and try make them understand it more better. Do you know how to divide numbers by using multiplication? Here is a DLO to learn

Types of Angles

For the last week we have been learning about angles. The hardest for me to understand were the reflex angle and obtuse angle.  When I first  learned  about angels I didn’t  really understand what an acute angle was. Whaea Chrissy took us to  one side of the room and did  a workshop with us , then I understood it more. The easy part for me was saying what degree the angle was and using a protractor. 

ANZAC DLO

In Te Ngahere we have been doing maths about ANZAC. We had a A3 paper with questions on.
We had to figure two on each sides. The first question was easy because we had to double the recipe.
The recipe made 30 biscuit and then we had to double the 30 that makes 60. After we finished the first side
we had to do the other side and the questions we had the my group thought. The next questions was to work
out is how to make a 120 biscuits. The 2nd  one was a bit challenging because we had to times
and do other symbols.

FLUBBER

In Te Maunga this term we made flubber. flubber is like slime.
We made flubber because it was part of  maths problem solving.
The flubber don’t work because we add to much water in the borax.
I learnt 50 teaspoons = 1 cup.
The hardest part was Fractions because we had to work out very big numbers.
Don’t put to much water in the flubber!

Maths problem solving

This term Te Maunga has been doing Maths problem solving everyday after morning tea time. The experts go up to Mrs Pou and she teaches them then they teach as what they have learnt from Mrs Pou. We did wingspan - Reach and also Height. Shay was 1.34m for wingspan and for Height 1.33m, Kaitlin was 1.34m for wingspan and for her Height it was 1.32m and I was 1.56m for wingspan and I was 1.40m for Height.

Fractions Wall

Breeze, Imogen and I are learning to made a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10.

Making 1/7 was so hard because I did not know if it was the same length. 1/2 was easy because you just had to fold it once then make sure it was the same length then stick it on with a glue stick.
