Maths Word Problems

 This week for maths I learned How to use brackets in a maths word problem.

First, I read The word problem to see the numbers that we had to multiply. Next I used brackets. Brackets mean that you have to solve the equation first.

Lastly I wrote the final amount.

LI: to write word problems in order using brackets.

Thursday Recount

 For writing we wrote a recount about our daily routine. We had to pick a day to write our recount. I chose last week Thursday. On Thursday we talked about the coming election. The purpose of the activity is to find out what was important to us so we could understand what political parties will do when they win this coming election, and what will happen after election.

For my recount I wrote what I did: before school, at school, after school, at dinner, and after dinner, which are the main parts of my day. Then I picked four things that I do in four sections. 

After I wrote my recount, I had to write my own personal reflection.

Governing Topics

 Governing Topics are policies that parties wish to provide to the people and the country. The two most important topics are: Media, culture, and recreation and Education.

The education topic is about the goverment spending more money on schools. Media, culture, and recreation is about spreading important information about the news, culture, and recreation activities. 

If I voted and chose my govenring topics, I would choose media, culture, and recreation, and education. I chose education because I am learning new things.

I also chose media, culture, and recreation because I play a sport and I like going outside and playing with my friend.

LI. To choose important governing topics by summarizing all topics.

Maori language week

 Maori language week is a special occasion that people support in September. This is a time for all New Zealanders to celebrate te reo Maori.

The Goverment is trying to get 1 million people speaking in te reo before 2040.

In 1987 te reo became an offical language of Aotearoa. On the 14th of September 1972 at 12pm a petition was signed with 30,000 signatures was presented to the NZ parliment calling for te reo to be taught in schools.

LI. Lets make Maori language strong.

Basic Facts Boxes

This week for basic facts boxes I did multiplication speed demon.The objective of the challenge is to answer the questions quickly. My time was 4 minutes and 15 seconds. I got only 6 answers wrong. I can improve by reading th questions properly.

Hazards and Risks

First my group wrote what a hazard and risk is. A hazard is an object that can cause harm to the property, environment, and to other people. A risk is a possibilty that a hazard can cause harm to people.

We also recapped about the risk levels which are low, likely, possible, elevated, and extreme. Then we wrote a saftey plan called risk assement.

 For this task we wrote the class level, how many students, how many helpers, and the location.

For every ten students equal's one helper. Then my group answered questions like: what could go wrong, how you could prevent, and what could it cause it to go wrong.

Lastly we wrote a emergency plan which is a risk that overcomes a much serious situation.

LI. To assess risk with a simple activity.

Maths word problems

 LI. to solve multiplication word porblems with a factor greater than 10.

To solve a maths problems that is outside of the times tables, there are 6 steps to follow.

The first step is to write the number sentence. 

Then you have to break up the bigger number. For example: 16 = 10 + 6.

The third step is to multiply the smaller number. For example: 10 x 4 = 40) + ( 6 x 4 = 24 )

The fifth step is to write the number sentence but you have to write it with the answer. For example: 40 + 24 = 64.

The final step is to write the number sentence but write it like a word problem. For example: Rahcel's mother gave her 64 stickers.
