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.

Prototec Basic Facts

In the fractions and percentages box, it is shown that i only got one wrong. Before i clicked the “Mark” button, I double checked and I was 100% sure that I would get all correct but when I clicked it, I got 1 wrong.  I think this means that I need to work on my fractions and percentages. I had fun with me basic facts. Here's a link to the website I did my basic facts on.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

This game is called Speedway. I had to add and subtract fractions but the answer was sometimes given in its simplest form. This game was kind of a brain puzzle because I got confused at some stage. I enjoyed playing this game. I came second on this game and didn't get any incorrect answers.

Ratio Blaster

In this game, I had to choose the ratio that was equal to the one on the bottom. I think I needed to know my fractions for this game because sometimes I had to find the fraction that equals to half. I found this hard in the beginning but when I started to play a few more levels, it was gradually getting easier. I think I still need to play this game a couple of times because I got some of them wrong.

Problem Solving with Mrs. Bina

Today, a woman named Mrs. Bina came to our class to help us learn more in maths because she is a maths facilitator. We first started conversating about respect and teamwork.

           Then we were given a word problem. We discussed it with the students and then we were separated into groups of three.

Then we chatted in a group. In my group were Tane and Alyssa. We were learning more in fractions.

         I learned what half of 1/3 is and I learned what 2/3 of a half is. We shared strategies with each other and we were doing our best to be co-operative.

I had fun learning with Mrs. Bina.

          It was difficult when the problem was  first given to me but then it got easier and easier when more of the fractions we were given to us. I would want to learn more with Mrs. Bina.

Positioning fractions on the numberline

WALT: position fractions on the number line.

In this game, I had to position fractions on the number line. Mrs. Ramkolowan helped a lot with teaching us how to position them. Although I already knew how to do it because of my remembrance of the previous year. This game gave me an easy example so straight away the answer came to mind and the answer was correct.

Integers

I was playing a game called adding and subtracting integers. As you can tell, I did extremely bad. I got 3 correct and 7 wrong so I think I still need a little more practise. When I know my integers, hopefully I'll get the chance to play this game again and get 10 out of 10.

E asttle Reading

This is my reading e asttle results for reading. My overall was 3P. I was hoping to get a 3A or up. II improved because in my last e asttle reading, I got a 2 A so I think I have improved a lot. I am at the national standard which means I am where I am supposed to be for my age.

Word Problems

In this game, I had to solve word problems using fractions. These were difficult for me because I was confused with some of the questions but I got all of them correct. I would like to get harder word problems with fractions.

American Muffins and English Muffins

Learn, Create, Share

In the middle block, I shared my ebook with Alicia.  Alicia read my ebook and it was about muffins. We did this because our topic is about muffins. She was laughing at my story because she found it funny. She was able to read my story fluently and she didn't need my help.  

Equivalent fractions

WALT: solve problems with fractions.

This game is called Equivalent Fish. I needed to know how to simplify the fractions to its lowest form. I had to control the bird to eat the correct fish with right answer.  Every time I got the answer correct, I get awarded 100 points. But if I get it wrong, it minuses 25 points and the bird pukes the fish out. This game was challenging because I got plenty of the answers incorrect and I lost a lot of points. I think I need more practice to learn how to simplify the fractions to its simplest form.  

Scale Drawings

I learned to use scale to enlarge my drawing. I used a scale of 1 cm to represent 4cm. This means that my drawing is 4 times bigger. I think this task was too difficult because it had plenty of detail which made it hard for me to draw. I think I need more practise on this topic. Next, I would like to learn how to enlarge things with less detail.   

Finding Grampy

In this game, I had to find grampy using fractions. I found him 4 times and I had 10 attempts. My current score is 40 percent. I found this difficult for me because there were no lines to help me find Grampy. So, when I play this game again, hopefully this would be easy for me to play.

Name that shape

WALT: name that shape.

In this game, I had to name all kinds of different shapes. I got all of them correct in 29 seconds. For me, I thought this game was a little difficult because I guessed some of the shapes because I hadn't seen them before. I would like to learn more about shapes next.

Reading Conmprehensions

WALT: ask questions to clarify meaning.

This was all about reading a story and then answering the questions given. I got 9 out of 10 questions correct but the next to play the game, I will try my best to get 10/10. This was challenging for me because some of the questions were difficult but I managed to get most of them correct. I would like to learn algebra next.

Dental Presentation

On the 5th of June, Mrs Wallbridge came to Room 11 and she showed us a presentation about teeth. She explained everything about the importance of teeth. We emailed her questions and she came to Room 11 and told us all the information that we needed to know. Room 11 and 12 students learned many new things about our teeth. The information/facts we picked up were breathtaking.

One of things that I found astounding was when she said that sugar is our worst enemy. I love drinking Coca Cola but I didn’t realize how much sugar it has. A 1 litre bottle has 108g of sugar, a 20oz bottle has 65g of sugar and a can has 39g of sugar. When I went back home, there was 2 bottles of Coca Cola and I didn’t want to drink any of it because of the information I found. I found myself drinking water instead. I told my mum how much sugar there was in a 1 litre bottle and she was shocked. I have to convince her to stop buying fizzy drinks but only to buy them on special days and she may agree.

Mrs Wallbridge also told us how to stop toothache. This information was eye-opening because I have never had a toothache before, but if I do, I would be aware of what to do. One of the ways to stop toothache is to quickly find an ice pack and put it on the area that hurts. If you don’t have an ice pack, you could just fill an empty bag with ice, cover it with a cloth or paper towel and apply it directly on the tooth or the cheek area just outside the tooth. The cold temperature will ease the pain.

She also showed us a gruesome picture of  a lady who had oral cancer. I was disgusted by it. When I saw the lady who had oral cancer, her teeth were yellow and her tongue had a sore on it. Many people say that oral cancer is commonly caused by smoking. On the 5th of June at 9:00  , I was going to my nanas house and my aunty was smoking. I told her to stop smoking because she might get oral cancer. I am positive that she has stopped and hopefully she will not get oral cancer.  

  

Decimal Place Value

WALT: solve problems in groups.

In this football math game, I had to solve decimals place value problems. For each correct answer, I would earn seven points, but if I get the incorrect answer, I lose three points. This was hard for me because I got a lot of questions incorrect and I only got 3 correct. My score is 14 but I really wanted to get at least over 20. I would like to practise more decimal place value.
