Tidy numbers

That was my maths task.
Do you do independent maths tasks?

Creativity

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about how I used creativity in making my fair project. As you probably already know this term we are having a fair and the year 7-8s are making games for the fun zone in assigned P.B.L groups and we had to focus on 3 of the 6 C's. Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. I think that one of the ways we showed creativity was when we thought about how we cloud make that game and keep the costs down. Another thing that we did that I thought was creative was when we made the certificates for the fair and how we thought about what to put on them. Something else that I thought that we did well was with the poster and how we make the theme to fit the game. Something that I think that I come work on is taking the game to the next level and making it better and better.

That was my fair poster.
Have you helped with a fair before?

Collaborating

Hi , welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about how well my group for the fair has worked together. This term we are having a fair and the year 7-8s are making games for the fun zone in assigned P.B.L groups and we had to focus on 3 of the 6 C's. Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. I think that one of the things that we did well was that at the beginning we where good at contributing ideas for possible fair games and thinking about how we would create them. Another thing that I think that we where good at was thinking about what the game would look like and how we would set it up.  Something else that we where good at was prioritising out tasks and getting our work done on task completion so that we could help more with making the game. I think that in the future that I could work more on talking to the group more before making it so we all know why we are doing or not doing something.

My Prototype picture.

That was what I think I did well in my group and what I think I could improve on.  Do you think that you work well in a team?

Papua New Guinea

Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week for reading my goal is: Identify at least one important idea and justify why it is important. For my reading task we had to read a country profile about Papua New Guinea. Then we had to chose a important idea and make a poster or a video about that fact and why we think that it is important. This is my google drawing that I made with friends.

That was my google drawing. Do you know about any facts about a country and if so please share.

Maths Task

Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week my maths goal has been: Use a variety of strategies to calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. We had to create a DLO on how to  calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. I did my DLO with my friend Hannah. This is it.

These are the Examples.

Triangle

Rectangle

and Parallelogram

That was my DLO. Do you know how to calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles now?
