The Order of Operations Millionaire Game

Walht: Use the order of operation BEDMAS to solve problems.

This online activity helped me a lot. I didn’t know what it was going to be like. I really enjoyed playing this activity. It gave me a real math rush that I just couldn’t stop. The difficult bits were not much really just getting the exponents right. Also when I went up higher it got a bit harder for me. I don’t think that I do lack a little bit of understanding I just need to be taught to refresh the memory. There was some that were challenging for me but more confusing. I can work it out mentally. I want there to be an online activity for LCM and HCF.

Fraction Speedway

Walt: Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers.

In this game you have to try and add and subtract fractions as fast as you can to win the race. You have to know your fractions, addition and subtraction. I really enjoyed this game and especially that I came first. All you do is add or subtract for example 1/4 + 3/4 which is one whole. I hope we can have a game that the denominators are not the same.

All about me

This is a drawing all about me.

Making nets

WALT: To make nets

This is my pyramid that I made in room 11. I thought it was a bit challenging because I have never done nets before but lucky I got help for my teacher Mrs.Ramkolowan. I had alot of fun making a pyramid but the only hard thing for me was drawing. If you want to make a pyramid you have to have a:

• Compass
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Pen
• Rubber

The next time we make nets I want to make a square based pyramid so I can do more nets.

Netball Training 23 July 2014

Netball Training 23 July 2014

After Morning tea at 11:15am Room 9 had a session with a lady who teaches netball to kids. She came from Auckland netball to teach us netball skills.

First, all of Room 9 went up to the school court were we always do our sports. When we got there she asked us a few questions and then we got straight into netball. She said “ What do you do before you play netball?” we all replied “ Warm Up!” so we stood on the yellow line so we could warm up. Our first exercise was skipping then jumping side to side and front kicks, butt kicks and jogging. After that we were all pumped up and warmed up ready to do more. We got told to get into pairs Angelina and I quickly buddied up.

After that, we played a game called “fire and friendly“.  The whole idea of the game was that when Donna says “fire” you roll the ball to your partners knees but if she said “friendly” we could throw it as high as we could. We got into 4 groups and played a game where we had to shoot the ball through a hula hoop. There was another game where we threw the ball around.

When we all finished the other classroom came for their session with Donna. She asked us to come into a huddle and then we did some cheers. That was such a awesome session.

Basic Facts 24 July 2014

WALT: Play Fraction Games.

I played this game and I really enjoyed playing it. The game is simple it has two levels and these are my scores. All I had to do is use the buttons provided at the top and to make it the same number as the Denominator then click it to make the right Number as the Numerator when you’ve done that click on the right one to make the bug move there but hurry because time goes quick. The next time there is a game I want it to be about Geometry because I really want to learn my Geometry.

Diary of a Bakery Princess

This Diary is about a girl that never has time to be a normal kid because she’s constantly working at her family bakery after school and before school. She likes this boy named Daniel and he always comes into their bakery before he catches the bus and he goes and buys a apple pie every morning. She goes on the same bus as him. She really likes him a he’s in a band with some other boys. She goes to the dance with him and enjoys it.   

My learning paragraph

WALT: Understanding Financial literacy  

I played a game with Angelina and it was all about Financial literacy. In this game the whole idea of it is understanding the words and knowing what it is. The game is  about picking up the card and then you read it and then match it and then put a counter on the one you think it is. The words that I really got confused with consumer, income, services, decision, trade-off,income, profit and choices and the other words I could understand which was cost, budget, goods, needs, wants, loan, spending and savings. The next time we learn something I want to learn Algebra.  

My Wants and Needs

This Is What I Need and Want

My Maths Results

In this game I think it was easy for me but it was also helping me learn my times tables. In this game you have to get all the candy in the levels whenever you get a piece of candy it gives you a multiplication problem or division. This is a very good game for me and I want more games like this. The idea of this game is that you can chose your own times tables and then you have to try answer it. The next time we have a game on our sites I want it to have decimals and fractions in it.  

My division maths

WALT: Division   

I got all my division right and I got Six out of six. In this game it really helped me understand how to do my division properly so when I get an answer wrong I just go on to the other question. It also helped me do my times tables I played it over and over again so I can get it all right. It took me a couple of tries but I finally got it all right. This game was pretty easy for me but it was a lot of fun playing and learning at the same time.On my next maintenance I want to learn my algebra.

A Tear - Lauren

A Tear

Today I shed a Tear

I shed a tear my brother cut his hand.

He was doing the dishes.

The knife was very sharp.

He didn’t notice.

The tea towel was red.

He took it off his hand.

It was so deep the cut.

I was so worried.

I thought his hand was finished.

We rushed him to starship.

The next day he was better.
