Maths goal

Know everyday fractions and percentages in everyday use

I did well with the speed of my answers

I also did well with knowing percentages with 100 (its just how much you got right) 

I need to work on my tenths fractions and elevenths fractions and twelves fractions

Maths Goal

Use multiplication facts to solve problems by doubling and halving.

I think that i do well with knowing what to divide and what to times eg. you cant half 5 and you can half six because it is an even number and five is a odd.

I also think i do well with showing my working for all 10 equations

I need to work on my basic knowledge like 6x 7x 4x 8x.

Position and Orientation

Position and orientation

Achievement Objectives:

Level 3

Use a coordinate system or the language of direction and distance to specify locations and describe paths.

Level 4

Communicate and interpret locations and directions, using compass directions, distances, and grid references.

Using Directional Language

Success criteria:

• Use four turns using fractions or angles e.g. ¾ turn or 90 degree turn
• Use compass directions only e.g. north, north east
• Use feet as a measurement e.g. move 4 feet north

We used coordinates to get to the chocolate. We had to use the success criteria.

Using the Coordinate System

Self Reflection:

What did you do well, what are your next steps?

I did well at coordinate reading and using the graph.
My next steps is to know what degrees is how much.

Term 2 Statistics

Strand Math Sample

Level 3 Learning Outcomes:

- gain information from a variety of data displays.

- be aware of the type of data each display is appropriate for and the kind of pattern/relationship it best
communicates.

- link others’ claims with the appropriateness of displays used.

WALT: Sort data into categories

Wiremu is allowed to choose a pet for his birthday. He decides to find out what pets his classmates have.
He gives each classmate a blank data card, asks them to list any pets they have, and collects the cards.
With a classmate, discuss Wiremu’s data. Which information is necessary? Which information is unnecessary?
Which data is difficult to interpret?

Make a comment on one piece of data from above:
there is more necessary than unnecessary

Unnecessary group (why is it unnecessary?):

nothing, 0, no pets, none because he asked what pets do you have

Hard to interpret group  (why is it hard to interpret?):

None unless you count my 2 goldfish in a bowl, my sister, 1 cat but she's at my mums Because i don't know what they mean.

The class next door did a similar survey to the one above but they were asked to name their favourite pet.
The results are shown on this tally chart and then presented on the bar graph: 

Write three statements that interpret the data shown above:

1. the pets are completely different types e.g. horses and cats different sizes and personalty

2.  the bar graph is easier to read because it has the amount of people / total number on it

3. people prefer cats (12) are more than Guinea pigs (4)

Discuss with a classmate which graph (bar graph or pie graph) you would prefer to use to show the information
and why?
the bar graph because it has the total on it and the pie graph has no numbers

What is the mean of the data above? (Show your working)

12+6+8+4 = 30
6+4= 10 
12+8=20
10+20=30

30 divided by 4=   8r2
30 divided by 2= 15 
15 divided by 2=
1   2   3   4   
1    1  1   1  
1    1   1   1
1    1   1   1
1    1   1   1
1     1  1   1
1     1  1   1
1    1   1   1
1   1

Personal Reflection:
I've done well with my organising with my sheet and finding out whats hard to interpret.
i need to work on finding the right way to work out the mean from data.

Detective

Hello there My name is detective Sausage, a level 4 detective partnered with Nicole ward also a level 4 detective. me and Nicole have seen nothing like this crime the date happened was the 29th of April 2018. I observed the scene at 21:20 Monday 30th of April 2018 the day after it happened. the place of crime was at kaiapoi north school in Tiwai, the creative cave.

My evidence was phenomenal. there were white floury hands on a top cupboard at the other end of the fish tank. By the rooms 18 and 19 doors there was a glass with pink red lipstick on the rim so my guess is that they drank maybe they water. On the closest table to the glass there was an orange vest, would have checked for a name but I couldn't. And someones been to hong kong because there was a coin on the same table as the vest. A sand coloured had with a black strip around the middle sitting on the floor right next to the coin and vest. On another table was a very gross lift bottle, thinking it was empty by a snapped ruler. Right next to that was a fallen chair with a note saying " Ha Ha Payback for anoying me ". The most outragious thing was the fish tank that belonged to Miss T was gone as soon as I saw this I thausht to myself somethings fishy around here! Some stones and a plant was the last remaining peices of it. A red water bottle that people won at cross country was becide the remaining parts of the fish. A muddy footpring that Nicole thinks is a converse. There was blue paint withletters saying "Rea". And a peice of paper with fingerprints! There was a white hand on a black wall next to a muddy footprint on a desk. By the white floury white hands on the top cupboard was a red Nescafe cup with some black tea in it. Fingerprints on the TV witch the teachers may have touched or the criminal? there was also paper on the floor

My top suspect is Miss bayless because she always weres lipstick and she has that hat (i think). She wheres converse that the footprint mach.

Dear Mr. Hipkins,

I hope you agree on my letter on having air conditioning in our classroom. By the way my name is Sarah Sandford a student at kaiapoi north school.

I bet you are the nicest person anyone will ever meet and I love the way you take other people's opinions.

It's too stuffy in the classroom and I don’t want to put up with sweat dripping off my forehead like rain anymore. I'm itching like feathers are dancing on me.

Won’t it be easier to learn in coldness rather than heat?

Thanks for reading my letter.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Sandford
