Long Division

Malo e lelei!

This week in Math we have been learning about long division. First Mrs Mundy showed us an example and worked it out with the class then she gave us what book and page we had to solve the long division problems on. After some time she let us create a DLO and wer had to teach/remind her how to solve a equation using long division. Our DLO started with us explaining how to solve it just like how we explained to Mrs Mundy. Then we labled what was what, and we ofcourse createed an example to show others what we are talking about.ย  Here is my Google Drawing about Long Division:

I found this hard at first because I didn’t get but when it was explained more i began to get the hang of it!

This week in Kowhai we have been learning how to interpret data from graphs we haveย  made. First we gathered information and noted it into our Math books. We practiced creating a Bar graph, Pie Chart, and a Tally chart.

When we then copied all the important information into a set of slides and used google sheets to make the graphs. What I enjoyed the most was creating the graphs and decorating it all. What I found challenging was trying to get my information into graphs. Here is my Data Representations slides:

Namaste fellow blogging friends,

We are learning how to solve wฬฒoฬฒrฬฒdฬฒ pฬฒrฬฒoฬฒbฬฒlฬฒeฬฒmฬฒsฬฒ using tables. When I say tables I mean the one you can make on google drawings/slides/docs, not the ones you put things on. We had to listen to Mrs Mundy because she was explaining to us what we are learning, she then read the first question out to us as she casted it to the TV. While the problem was on the TV she said that one person from each table will get the scrap papers for us to have one each, we had to copy the table from the question onto the paper and work it out. there were many columns for our thinking, the main question was “If there are 156 goldfish hatched in a year how many will be females?” and the information we already knew is that for every seven female goldfish born, only five male goldfish were born. So in my table I started by writing down the 2 numbers given (7 and 5) and added them together which made 12, so then I times it by 10, then I had 50 60 and 120. I then times it by 11 then 12, and I still didn’t have 156 in total so I decided to add 6, and 9 to my number I already had, and I got my answer, my answer was 65 male goldfish. For the rest of the Math Problems are on this slide:

I found this all challenging at first but then I started to understand it more as I went through the problems. I really enjoyed Question 14 because that was a real challenge for me so I am proud of myself for getting the answer correct.

We have been learning about Complementary and Supplementary angles. Complementary angles are 2 angles that add up to a total of 90 degrees, and Supplementary angles are 2 angles that add up to a total of 180 degrees. First we did it in our books then we copied it onto a google drawing. I found this pretty easy and hard at the same time, but I still enjoyed it. I found it hard at first because I didn’t really understand but after some more explaining I think I had the hang of it. Anyways here is my Complementary and Supplementary Angles google drawing:โ˜Ÿ

I am in SUCH a good mood because today we went to AGGS – Auckland Girls Grammar School – and learnt about something called STEM – Science Technology Engineering Maths – and I really enjoyed my time there. OKAY so first we gathered into our STEM groups before we left, I was with the rest of the Kowhai girls – Me, Shannon, Sisiliah, Malia, Maria and we are all year 7’s- and 2 year 8 girlsย  – Annette and Brylee – and our teacher we went with was Mrs Mundy (Kowhai’s Teacher), we then loaded ourselves into the black van. I was in the back with Shannon and Malia. When we got to AGGS we were met with closed gates, so we walked down to gate 3 where someone told us that gate 1 is being unlocked. When we entered Mrs Mundy had to sign in, and a guy came and led us to the study room, in the study room we saw some AGGS girls, and soon found out that they were in STEM.ย  We firstly did a race using coordinates and clues, when we connected the dots it made a star. We then went on a tour with 4 AGGS girls, and after the tour they gave us Pitapit wraps to eat back at school. I really expecyed us to be in a class doing work instead of all that, but I still enjoyed it even though it was unexpected. Here are some photos:

โœMaths Angles

Kia Orana Bloggers!

We have been learning to measure angles using a protractor.ย  –ย  Line the straight line on the protractor with the line of an angle.ย  –ย  Measure from the 0 point.ย  Our WALT is to Draw and Classify different types of Angles. In our Maths books we wrote and underlined “How” underneath the word How were 8 steps:

  1. Draw a baseline of 3 cm.
  2. Put your protractor on the end of the line.
  3. Make sure the center of the protractor sits on the end of the baseline rests exactly on the drawn line.
  4. Press your protractor firmly on the paper.
  5. Count required size starting from zero [0] on the left side. If the size is over 180, rotate it upside down and count the extra angles needed.
  6. Put a dot [.] on the left mark the edge of the protector.
  7. Join the dot to the end point of the baseline.
  8. ย Label the size and name the type of angle drawn.

Here is my angles work, I got it all right on the first try!

Do you know the different types of angles there is?

Kia ora bloggers!

This week in Maths we have been learning about Capacity/Volume. The definition of ‘Capacity’ is the ability to hold, absorb, orย  contain, another way of saying this is the Maximum amount that can be contained or produced. The word ‘Capacity’ is a noun. We were in pairs but not all of us, I chose to work with Breeze. Our question was ‘What depth of container using the same size paper would give us the most Capacity/Volume?’. Next, we were told to make a prediction, we both predicted that deeper containers hold more because the sides are higher. Then, we were told to make a paper container again but this time instead of using 2 cm by 2 cm like last time we had to change the center meters, we(Breeze and I) both agreed on 6 cm by 6 cm. We made the container and we had to measure the Height, Length, and Width. Our containers Height, Length, and Width was, Height – 6 cm, Length – 17.5 cm, and our Width wasย  9.1. Next step was to add the height, width, and length all together to get the Volume. I think our Volume was 955.5, Bye!
