Mini Olympics

Mrs AhFook thought we could have a fun day with our two student teachers while Mrs Mundy was away.  We have a range of fun activities to complete practising skills we would need when we go to the local stream to carry out experiments on the water quality. 

We had a lot of fun!

Measuring a Square Metre

With Covid19 it is important at Level 3 in class that we know what is a metre. As inside we the class we have to maintain a metre distance, which at times can be tricky when someone needs help or to be shown something on a device. 

However when people are from the same bubble they are able to within the metre. 

What we figured out is a metre is longer than we think. A metre is not a arm length. Outside is even trickier or at the supermarket because we have to stay 2 metres. This is longer than a shopping trolley.

Coding - Through Math

Where is Waitangi?

WALHT find places in google maps. We did a quiz on Waitangi and found not many people knew where it was.

 
I learnt how to make my own map with places I added. I found it interesting importing information from sheets. Next time I would like to do a map about places I have been.

Hobby Graph for Whanākitanga

WALHT gather information and make a graph. I learnt how to make a graph using excel. It was easy to make pie graphs perfectly. Next time I would like to make a more detailed graph and write some sentences explaining what I found out.

Times tables Tricks

We have been learning how times tables work. The students always like learning 'tricks' for learning. So using doubles to learn two times tables and then doubling that for our four times tables and again for eights.

Geometry 3D Shapes

Mathematics with Spheres and Cylinders

WALHT Round numbers to make adding and subtracting easier.
