Math Puzzles

Kia Ora Bloggers, in today's post I will be showing you some of my maths learning.

This week, we have just started doing negative numbers, we have a slide workbook that we work through. I have not gone through much of it, but I am going to show you something that I thought was quite cool.

Here is the slide:

I hope you enjoyed this mind trick, I know I did. Tell me how many blocks you used.

THank you for reading. Bye

Home Learning - An Eclipse that Ends the World

Kia Ora Bloggers, This week for my home learning I am doing something on biteable based on this: 

"There is an eclipse, everyone is watching in awe and wonder, but the sun doesn't reappear. What would happen to the world?"

I had a conversation with my family & we all had different ideas.

Here is what I think would happen, put into a biteable:

Eclipse Failure on Biteable.

I hope you enjoyed. Bye.

Fibonacci Sequence

Kia Ora Bloggers! Today I'm going to be sharing some of my math work with you and teaching you the Fibonacci Sequence.

For math, normally we will get a slide that is based on the things we are learning and we will change every few weeks. These past two weeks has been number patterns. As well as a range of many other things, we learnt about the Fibonacci Sequence.

I find the Fibonacci sequence easy, as I do the working out in my head but when you get to higher numbers it takes longer.

The Fibonacci sequence is difficult to explain so here is a slide explaining what it is:

Time yourself for two minutes an see how many numbers of the fibonacci sequence you can get down.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Home Learning

Kia Ora bloggers, here is a quick home learning blog. I was going to do a different one but unfortunately I can't reach book creator! Here is a new subject that I would do:

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.

Bye!

Wig Wednesday

Kia Ora Bloggers! Today I am going to be talking about Wig Wednesday as my school took part in it.

What is Wig Wednesday? Wig Wednesday is an annual event in NZ which is a fundraiser that helps spread awareness for children with cancer and to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation.

Last year in 2018, schools, business etc... raised over 100,000 dollars for the foundation.

Did your school do this? Our school did and I wore a wig. (it was an Afro)

It was a koha donation which means that you can bring any amount of money to fund raise for this cause. Here is a photo of everyone:

As you can see most people decided to wear one and most people who didn't still bought a donation.

As a whole school, we raised $136.20 which is pretty good. Everyone bought funky wigs which is pretty cool.

Thank you for ready and I hope you enjoyed. Bye!

Home Learning

Kia Ora bloggers. This is going to be another home learning blog post. I am answering a few questions. Here it is on a slide:

Thank you for reading. See you next time.

Pretty Patterns

Kia Ora bloggers! In this post I will be sharing some of my math work. Over the next two weeks or so my math group is focusing on 'patterns', not shapes but in maths problems with repetition.

We were doing some repetition with questions e.g. (5 x 3 - 2) or (3 x 7 + 1). Each time you do it the first number would change to your answer but he rest of the question would change.

Here is a slide I put together based on the information I know to show you how to do it:

I think that I found this easy and it was fun experimenting to see how big your numbers could get, the biggest I got with only doing it 7 times was 4 million.

I think that what made it easier was knowing you were only going to multiply it by one number every time so you just had to know the times tables for that number instead of a bunch of different numbers.

What is the biggest number you predict you could get doing it 20 times? I hope you enjoyed reading this. Bye!

Home learning - book report x2

Kia Ora bloggers, here is another home learning blog post. Today it will be a book report.

I am doing the book 'Chase' by "Linwood Barclay".

This book is about a boy who finds something out that he shouldn't, helps someone he shouldn't. Gets caught up in a lot of scary things. He runs for his life, and someone else's life, but Who's? What will happen?

I think the story was pretty good, it gives you a lot of detail and description which is awesome because the book has a lot going on and it really pulls you in which is good.

I would probably recommend it to people.

Thank you for reading my blogs, see you next time!

Fun Features of a Report!

Kia Ora Bloggers! Today I will be posting about the features of a Non - Chronological Report.

This week, we have started a new genre of writing, as you can probably tell, it is 'Non - Chronological Reports'.

First, we looked at a Report and had to identify all of the features it on our own of the report.
Afterwards, our teacher told us through a presentation what they were.

Next, we had to create a poster on 'Canva' that told us all of the features of a Non - Chronological Report.


Here it is:

Because the photo isn't clear here are the features: Introduction, Headings, Subheadings, Diagram/Photo, 3rd person, Present Tense, Informations & Facts

Throughout this activity, it reminded me of certain features I had forgotten about since last year. Things like: Headings and Subheadings instead of titles and subtitles, diagrams & photos and 3rd person.

The easiest things was definitely making the poster because i have done things like this before, it was also the most fun thing.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. How could I improve my Poster?

Did you learn anything?

Thankyou and goodbye.
