Maths - Angles

Kia ora, this week for maths we have been working on angles.

The Goal was: Use appropriate scales, devices, and metric units for measuring angles.

This is what I had to do:

      

Task 1) Pick a flag and investigate some of the following:-

You may like to draw this out on paper or put in on a google drawing. If you’d like it printed, email it to me before Morning Tea.

What shapes can you see in it?  

There is a cross, two very stretched wide triangles and then two other triangles on the left and right.

Can you describe them and their angles?

The cross is more stretched width ways then length. The triangles at the top and the bottom are also stretched more width ways. Then there are also those two triangles on the side that are almost symmetrical but one point is just a smidge more longer than the others.

Does the flag have any lines of reflective symmetry, if so how many lines?

There is a lot of symmetry in this flag from to bottom and even from left to right. Both the black and the green triangles reflect again on the opposite direction.

Can you find any pairs of parallel lines?  If so mark them on your flag.

There are some lines parallel to each other but they’re on an angle. Here they are:

It is where I put the white lines

Are there any lines perpendicular to one another?

No, not that I can tell.

Task 2)

On a doc/drawing or slide collate a range of pictures showing angles in the real world - think creatively they are literally everywhere! 


Infographic - Equal Education

Hello, thanks for checking out my blog.

This week for writing I have been making an infographic about Equal Education. 

Here is my goal: Deliberately use written and visual language features when appropriate to enhance writing.

Here is my Infographic:

What do you think equity means compared to equality?

Evaluating Purpose - Artemis Fowl

 Kia ora everybody.

For the past weeks in reading we have all chosen a novel. I chose Artemis Fowl and I am almost up to chapter seven.

 The goal I was working on today was: 
Evaluate the writer’s purpose and consider how structure and language have been used to suit purpose.

Here is my finished task:

What is your favourite book? What is it about?

Cantamath W2

 Talofa lava everybody, his week some of us have been trying out for the cantamath team.

Since I have already talked about cantamath in the past math blog but this week we did something different.

Instead of trialling in teams we did it individually and we got given a sheet full of questions that we had to answer, some were much more challenging then others. Although I think it was good because I felt like I had a range of different questions to try and solve.

Have you ever tried cantamath?

Speech Writing #3

 Kia ora everyone, here is another part of my speech that I am currently writing.

I have picked one of my favourite paragraphs that I have written so far to share with you.

Here is is:

Let's make a difference, we can do this, from schools to parliament, let's make a wave of action and goodness to positively affect this world.Imagine living in a world where classrooms were stacked up with books and education was free.

Imagine living in a life where everybody had clear access to a bus or free transportation and there are multiple boarding schools throughout each city.

Imagine living in a world where every child or even just human, was able to go through life where they were taught properly and were guided well enough to provide help to the generation to come.


Hope you find that piece of writing interesting and maybe even a bit persuasive, but if you have any questions or feedback feel free to say in the comments.


What is one way you can think of that would help these problems?

Cantamath

 Kia ora everyone, welcome to my blog.

So you may be wondering why I haven't been posting many maths blogs lately and that is because I have been working on cantamath for the past two weeks. 

One of the questions we had to figure out was:

What is the sum up to 50?

This got the whole class thinking but by the time people got to that question the timer ended and we all had to go back to the classroom. But me and a friend decided to prepare for questions like that and we came up with a way to solve questions like this a little faster.


Have you ever tried doing cantamath? Did you enjoy it?
