EL3 Math

You know how we've been doing alot of leaning on angles. Well  today we had a review  of all the learning. With a quick quiz, the quiz  was a google form. It was pretty easy. but I wish she gave  us the heads up because. I would have looked in my book for some answers. But in the end It was  a fun quiz. when I think about geometry my brain is busing of key words like degrees, acute, parallel and 3d. I  really look forward to learning a new subject that links well into geomtry.

E3L KT

Today in EL3 KT we went out side because it was a beautiful day. You may be wondering what does this have to do with math? We used rakau to play a game that involved angles. You throw the rakau at your partner at an angle between 90 degrees and 20 degrees. I enjoyed this learning because

we learnt a lot and we got to go outside. I would really recommend this game, because it's a good way to learning.



Rakau is a traditional maori weapon that was used as a spear or a club. They are still used today for traditional games. I find rakau  very fascinating, especially the ones with cool patterns and feathers on them.

Cross Country

Today was cross country. It was super fun, I Was really puffed at the end of the race. As a year six we all had to run 2.5 km. My year group is the hardest in the district. I came 6th out of 27. 

To get there we had to walk. It is quite a long walk to get there it took us about in hour to get there. So that gave us a big disadvantage. Especially because year six has to go first. 

I am also house captain so that means I have to encourage my house and get them excited before there race. I really enjoy doing this because we get to do chant offs with the other houses and my house is really getting good at the chant.

When we were all finished I helped pack up. It was really hard getting every single persons lunch box in the car. When we were all done packing up, we started the long walk back to school.

Math strand

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, in MLH we have to math groups that everyone goes to.
Today in my math strand. I was learning how to measure triangles. Most of the group used protractors. but I used adition to work out the missing angles. the first Time I tried I got the answer wrong and then the teacher helped me and I got all of the other questions right. the people who used the protractors didn't get exactly right, and most of the time you won't get the exact answer if you use protractors. But you will get the exact answer if you calculate it. I found this learning very interesting.

level 3 math!

Today We did some more work on decimals.  I was really glad we did some work on decimals because, I am not the best in this math category. But I was proud of myself when Koka Ngaire gave us some word problems I really pushed my limits and solved the math equations. my buddy Charlie helped me alot when I got stuck. We had a lot of great discussions in that sesion. We also had a turn on a game that I would really recommend it's called decimasters it's fun and you learn a lot.  I am looking forward to learning more about decimals in future.

   

Term 3 week 1

This is our groups vocab that the teacher set up.
you will find therese words when you learn about geometry. 

We have made a great learning start to term 3.
My group has been learning about geometry. For those  of you that don't what geometry is it is a math category were you learn about measurement ,shapes and angles and all of those kind of things. these are useful to know when you get older if you want to be a builder,architect or  a baker. I found this learning rather interesting, because I was  not a expert in this category.  I look forward to learning more about
 this subject in future.
