Christmas Present Challenge

 LI: Create a DLO about buying a present for my household with $100 dollars . 

This DLO is about what presents i would buy for my household with exact $100 dollars budget . I shopped at the  warehouse and gave a clear explanation why i bought and how much money i had left  . Something i found interesting about doing the maths challenges were about exploring through the warehouse online shopping to find a present i thought my family would like and how much the item is . 

Weighty Challenge

  L.I: Is to find the most efficient strategy to find the answer

This term for week 5 we were getting into more challenging questions in maths. We had a variety of questions that tested our skills on how to work with other people we dont normally work with. We were in separate groups that had a maximum of 7 people. Our groups had to work collaboratively together to find the answer to a problem or give feedback to our group. The thing that I really liked about this weeks maths is how i got to work with new people that I know i work really well with now. It also gave me an opportunity to work with new people other then my friends.

Time

LI: To work out the elapsed time.

Today our group used the maths clocks to help us work out the answers to the elapsed time questions. Elapsed means the time that has gone by. It was fun doing maths and I like working together with my friends because it means we can talk about the strategies we are using.

Making Connections to problem solving

LI: To explore problem solving.  

 

Today LS1 and LS2 collaborated to make tangrams. We used tangrams to help us explore problem solving. We first cut out A4 paper following simple instructions we had been given. After we cut the  paper and we put it together and made a square. I had fun trying to make the puzzles and I learnt a lot  about tangrams. 

Maths

LI: To practise definig maths vocabulary (words)

To help us practise the meaning of maths words. Mrs Anderson taught us a game called maths word challenge. I worked with Diana and Liletina on this game.  To play the game 2 players found a word from the maths word game,  then had to give a clue to the person trying to  figure out the math word who was sitting with their back to the other players.

Statistical Investigation: Kowhaiwhai designs

LI: To carry out a statistical investigation across PBS to find the most popular kawhaiwahi design.
