Making Ends Meet

Kamusta! During the lockdown, all the year 7 & 8's had to complete Math, Writing and Reading activities. For Math, we had to create a meal plan for a family of 4. We had to decide what everyone was going to be eating for a week. In the slide, I wrote down the exact measurements of every ingredient and wrote down how to make the meal.

Teaching Benchball - P.E

Tēnā Koutou! This week is the third week of our second P.E Huruamanu and French Fries were the first group to show their sport to the whole class! Their sport was Bench Ball, on our class blog I have already made a blog post about it before but click  HERE  to check it out.

To start off, French Fries introduced to their warm-up.  After 40 star-jumps, running back and forth and high knees most of us were puffing but we still had something else to do. Playing sneak up granny of course! This was a fun activity that the team had thought of. People would get close to the "granny" but then they would get caught.

After doing the warm-up the members from French Fries broke us into groups. 7Bh VS 7Tz and 8Bh VS 8Tz were going to verse in a game of Bench Ball. After a lot of passing, throwing and catching 7Tz won against 7Bh and 8Bh won against 8Tz. They were both very competitive games but in the end, the year 7's versed the year 8's in a game of Benchball.

There were more year 8's than year 7's but we still had some good people on our team. It wasn't a close game at all since year 8's were winning as soon as we started. There were a lot of tall people or people who played basketball in the year 8's but the year 7's weren't going to give up just yet. After a tiring 15-20 minutes, the scores were close. The year 8 member who was defending the year 7's goal was pretty tall and played basketball. He threw the ball against the gym and one of the year 8's caught it! The year 7's were defeated but it was okay in the end.

Math

At the end my group does Math. I actually wasn't here but I know it would be a little hard. The Math we are focusing on is about P.E! We look at fields and look at their perimeter and how much paint you would need for the field to be painted and more stuff like that.



I think I helped the year 7's when we played Benchaball by shouting their name or telling them where to pass the ball. 

Personal Thought 

When we versed the year 8's I was nervous because they had a lot of good people on their team. I try being better at every sport I play so maybe next time we play Benchball I should practice on catching the ball before someone else gets it. 

Multiplying Fractions

Ni Hao. On Monday for Math, we did an activity where we had to learn how to multiply fractions! I thought it was going to be hard and that I wouldn't get it. But after watching the video I understood it and realised that it was probably the easiest thing ever!. Today I made a DLO about my understanding and how to multiply fractions of course! Hope you enjoy.

Statistics

On Monday's we have Maths with Mrs Hastie. I don't think she ever told us but, I think we have been focusing on Statistics. 

Statistics is all about graphs and data. It is an easy way to collect information for either fun or just work! Here is an example.

Want to find out the most common favourite colour in your class? Ask your peers! Collect that data on Google Sheets or whatever you wish to collect it on. Then with the help of some basic math, you should be able to tell the most common favourite colour in your class.

Anyways, on Monday this week, we learnt about Mean, Median and Mode.

Mean

The mean of a set of numbers is their average. You find the average of a set of numbers by adding them up and dividing by the number of numbers you have.

Median

To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. Put them in order: {10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 26} The middle number is 15, so the median is 15. (When there are two middle numbers we average them.)

Mode

The mode of a set of numbers is the one that occurs most often. So, in the set {1,5,7,5,9}, the mode is 5 because there are 2 fives and only one of each of the others.

Conclusion

I liked learning about Mean, Median and Mode but it was a bit confusing. I would forget what they mean and switch up the meaning for Median and Mode. I guess I have a little bit of an idea about what they are, but I don't consider myself an expert just yet!

Trucks and Trucks!

1. The most popular truck traveling down Waterloo Road were the Utes.
2. The least popular truck traveling down Waterloo road were the Large trucks, Concrete trucks, and Rubbish trucks.
3. Tip-deck trucks were only seen twice

Artist Data - Math

                                        Artist Data

For Maths this afternoon we had to make graphs. The graphs could be about anything. We had to collect data from our class mates.

Me and my friend Risha decided to join up together. Together we did one about Artists.

Here is the outcome..
