Enlargement

Today, the students in Room 8 we doing enlargement. I don’t know all the details because I was absent the previous week. I watched everyone draw their grids with a piece of chalk and then enlarge their pictures on their netbooks/chromebooks. I helped them make “straight” lines for their grids. The outcomes for some of them were not accurate but it was good enough.

Haiku

We were learning about Haiku's. Haiku's are Japanese Traditional Poems. There are three lines in a Haiku Poem. They also have rules. 1. They must have 17 syllables (5,7,5)
                                           2.  It has to be a seasonal reference
                                           3. It has to have a cutting point in the first or second line. (-,.!?)
I was in a group and we created our own Haiku.

Measuring Angles

This game helped me to understand how to use a protractor. I had to rotate the protractor to be in line with the red line and see what angle it was. I measured it accurately. I reckon this game would be useful to those people who still struggle using a protractor. It really does help you understand using a protractor properly.
