Adding and subtracting unlike fractions

( Maths WALT )  WALT : add and subtract fractions with related denominators

So today for maths, my maths group and I are learning about adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators. For the first task we had to do was find the LCD ( Least common denominator ). Then for the second task we had was to transform/change the fraction so that both fractions had the same denominator. To make sure both denominators are the same. Once they are the same you can then add and subtract. I rally enjoyed this Math task because it was challenging and also because it was different.

Island breeze

Today in the morning the beautiful Island breeze group came and performed for us. It was so fun and great seeing how they dance and all the different mixed cultures were so unique and different that those people were. My favourite part was probably when they were dancing and when the teachers had to go up and do a dance performance. They were even showing us that its alright to be different to others. A quote that I really loved that they shared was when the MC said ¨ITS OKAY TO BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE WORLD WOULD BE BORING IF WE WERE THE SAME¨. I really liked this quote because not everybody’s the same and they are there own person. But overall I really enjoyed this Island breeze group coming and performing for us because it was such a great experience. And them sharing there culture with us was such a experience.

Maths [ Hit the button ]

For maths today our maths group wasn’t with teacher so we either had to play protect  or hit the button. The game I played was hit the button and me and Lesley even challenged each other about who could get the most answers correct. It was really fun playing because it gave us a challenge and we were also being very competitive which even made it even more fun. But also challenging a person really made me have to think fast and kind of helped me with my time tables a lot more.

Cybersmart WK2

The Cybersmart challenge this week is all about Copyright. So we had to watch a video then write what we think copyright is. After that we then had to read some slides about copyright. Then watched another video about how to explore it was pretty easy and they even gave us things to paste in the slide. This Cybersmart challenge was pretty good because we got to learn more about what copyright is and also how it works.

Team Tui Probability games

This morning Team Tui had been doing some Maths games that have to do with probability. Some of the games were Greedy pig, playing cards, bottle flip and we even had 2 fun games at the end once we completed the other 3. My favourite game was probably Greedy pig and bottle flip. For Greedy pig you had to roll one dice and add all of the numbers you get. To try and get 50 points or more. For bottle flip you had to try and land as many bottle flips as you can but you only get to flip the bottle 10 times. But overall I really enjoyed everything that we did and completed.

Reading WK1 Term 4

For Mondays reading we had to do Monday must do. For Monday must do you have to complete 3 task and 1 out of those 3 task was to watch a video about inference and what we learnt about it. An inference is something where you figure it out by putting clues together then you take a guess yourself.
