PBS collage

 

I have gathered 15 images and used a google drawing to turn it into a collage. Read the collage left to right as if you were reading a comic strip. These pictures are in time order to show some of the events that happened from the beginning of school, to the some of the last activities we did near the end of the year.

The first image shows one of the first activities of Tech one of the groups did. The second one shows our trip to the Auckland library where we met Stig. 3rd and 4th is the olympic silhouette art. 5th and 6th is Rhythm Interactive. 7th-Paper planes. 8th-PBS Athletics day. 9th-Pigeon ideas, 3 vital, 4 very important and some important ideas. 10-Book character parade. 11-Run, Jump, Throw. 12 & 13-Hockey. 14-Making Hundertwasser Art. 15-Visiting Tahuna Torea.

Paper planes - Maths

For our maths flight we each choose a plane design and the best thrower in our group to see who threw the farthest. Thomas was our thrower and the other competitors were: Shannon, Zahn, Manu/Victora since he was sent outside, Latham, Gozan, AJ and Tai. First is Thomas, second Tai and Zahn came third. The classroom had to be closed since the wind might come along and mess up the actual scores, after the throwing the planes in a closed place, we opened the doors and windows to see what the planes would have been like. Thomas came first AJ came second and Tai came third for the fourth throw.

Paper planes - Collaborative Maths Challenge

 

For Maths we were placed in groups to work collaboratively on a silent Maths Challenge. Since it was a silent challenge our teacher (Mrs Anderson) won't tell us what to do, the only way we knew what we had to do is by looking at the slides Mrs Anderson showed us on the TV. Our task was to design a paper plane and see who's plane flew the furthest. We flew them on LS2 Balcony, in LS2, Top Field and the playground. My group I worked with is: Silivia, Sylis, Ana, Mere, Afu and Thomas. We had fun flying the paper planes that we created.

Quizizz

For maths the entire class played quizizz, but this time those how didn't have a computer had to buddy up with someone who did. I buddied up with Pote and we had it so that he did the first 10 and I did the other 10, and we'd switch. After I did the first 10 and he did the next; we decided to have it so that I did 1 question and he'd do the next and so on. Then we'd switch again. We did quizizz to challenge each other and our teacher (s.) I have given the link for those of you who are interested in doing this.

Quizziz

These are images of my result on quizziz. Quizziz is a multiplayer math game so all of LS2 played it together I came second out of LS2 on the maths problems on the second round I came third. For quizziz you have to know the answers and be the fastest person to click the text-box right answer. The first quiz was harder than the second quiz.

Math games

 

These are images of my maths on TopMarks. I was Learning Finding prime factors and Sequences and Patterns it helped me more since I don't really get prime questions so I don't work on them much, but now I know more thanks to these math games I played on.

Quizziz

We were practicing recalling our times tables on this site called quizziz.com, we were given 10 seconds to answer each question. I somehow got the same avatar twice. We were doing a class quiz, I came #19 on the first class quiz and #8 on the second quiz.

Reading Comparison

        We compared the Genre's of the year 7 & year 8's favourite Genre (book category/type). For year 8 more people liked horror and the least favourite was Sci-Fi probably because no one thought of Sci-Fi. For year 7 Most of them liked Action, not much year 7's said which was their favourite (either that or there aren't many year 7's...which I doubt). Sorry if it goes off the page, I'm not sure how to fix it. For those who don't know, you can put your mouse over the bars to see what number it is.

Problem solving

For maths each person from my group made a DLO on how to solve a question. We each chose a question we wanted to show how to solve. This is the question I chose to solve.

Strategy DLO

This is a strategy DLO that gives tips to help anyone in their maths. Hopefully at least 1 of the 5 tips managed to help you.

Mathman

This is a screenshot of my Math man progress. I got up to level 10 and ate 59 ghosts. For some reason if you get hit by a ghost you spawn on top of it and lose 2 lives instead of 1. I died because I forgot to use my scatters and the third death was because I panicked and ran into the wrong ghost.

Maths quick write-how does collaborating with others help you in your maths

This is a maths quick write I did about: How does Collaborating with others help you in maths? (for those who do not know about maths quick writes) I have to make a DLO about something I chose from the can-do's in maths quick write. I have to set a timer for 15 minutes, then use DRAFT to make sure everything makes sense.

PBS flag data

In LS2 we were learning how to analyse the data. This is a chart that shows the amount of students that voted for keeping the flag. The total was 206 students, most of the LS1 & LS2 students voted for keeping the flag. After the votes were counted for keeping and changing the flag. The score was 96 to 110 so more students wanted to keep the flag than change it.

Mean, Medium, Mode & Range Super challenge

This is a super challenge on Mean, Median, Mode & range. We used the PBS flag data to find out the mean, median, etc on our flag data. (Keep in mind there was only one mode).

Ballon Pop

Here is a score board on the maths game my group did. My highest was 25844, I came 43 out of 100. Here's the link Ballon Pop

Solving decimal word probblems-3

 

Here is the third decimal word problem I did in Maths. Hopefully this can help you with your maths(if you need help with your maths)

Decimal maths game

In Maths we are practicing rounding decimals. Here are three screen shots of me playing the game, I got twenty right and two wrong. If you want to play this game here is the link. Be careful of the where the mouse is, it's like shooting a real life gun so pretend you are doing that. That's how I got two wrong.

Prototec maths

This is my second prototec maths I did slightly better by 5 seconds than last time. Though it wasn't much of an improvement, I will try to decrease the amount of time I used solving problems.

Solving word decimal problems 2

Here is a second decimal word problem Daniel, Aj and I had. It is different from this question was a bit harder than the first one, but it was still quite easy. You just have to look in the whole numbers and if it's the same, look at the tenths and if that's also the same look at hundredths, etc.

Solving Decimal word problems

Here is a Decimal word problem that Aj, Daniel and I did. We put up the question so you would understand what we were solving. Hopefully you will have learnt something new from this.
