What am I?

Task description: Today for Math I did what ami?. It was really fun because all we had to do was just solve the number of questions. I really enjoyed and loved this task, I really hope I do it again soon. My highlight was learning new things and having a go at this task today. I really enjoyed it. My lowlight is having to solve the problems when it’s hard. Something to work on for next week is nothing really, because I really liked this task and it was too hard for me. Quote of the day: Mathematics may not teach us to add love or subtract hate, but it gives us hope that every problem has a solution. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

Stage 7 Word problems

Task description: Today for Math our math group worked on some stage 7 word problems. It was really confusing and hard at first but when we started to find out ways to solve them it was easy. I was a bit stuck on slide 2 but my friend helped me a lot. Maths can sometimes be really tricky, because you don’t know what’s about to come, what I mean by this is you think that the maths word is easy because of how it looks, but really it takes some time to solve it. One thing I really love about Maths is that you get to make your own question and that you also have to figure it out yourself. Because some mathematicians don’t just solve their own maths question straight away, they actually have to solve the problems themself.
Quote of the day: You don’t always know the answer to your own question, you have to solve it.
My highlight was being able to solve all the problems really fast even though our group was stuck on it for a bit. I had a really good maths session again and I loved how well our group shared their ideas with each other so I don’t have a low light from today’s maths lesson. As I said before it was a good maths lesson and I don’t have anything to work on today. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

Explanation reconstruction

My highlight was being able to finish the task really fast as it was pretty easy. Yet a lot of people were confused on what order it went in and they were stuck on it for a bit. I had a really good start to our reading session and I loved how well the people on our table worked together and shared their ideas with each other so I don’t have a low light from today’s maths lesson. As I said before it was a good maths lesson and I don’t have anything to work on today. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

Media Detective

Today for Cybersmart I did Media Detective. We had to answer 2 questions for each slide. We had to watch or look at the picture or video and answer questions about it. We then at the end had to make our own slide about fake media scammers. We had Mr Goodwin (AKA Matua Goody) In our class today explaining to us about the task for today that her created. My highlight is Making my own slide, which was an advertisment from Heinz saying that they have the best ketchup. My lowlight was watching the video on slide 3, because the video was way to long and it was also boring watching it. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Math Goals

Swaimah – Maths Goals tm4 23 – Press on the link

Task Description: Today for Math we did Math Goals. I had to write 3 things that I need to get to the next level. I chose to learn more bedmas more often – Finding more ways to solve a problem – Understanding the problem. I had to also write how I can help myself in maths. I think something I really need to work on is putting time in math-whizz. Understanding algebra more so that I can solve the problem easily and fast.

My highlight was thinking of some good math goals for this term, also customizing the document. My lowlight was writing the goals and having to blog it. Something I can work on next time is having to think harder for more goals. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Week #2 – Holiday Challenges

 

Today I did Week #2 Holiday Challenges. My teacher Whaea Saf didnt have time to make week 2 holiday challenges. I decided to make them myself. I think I’m the only one right now attending. I really like these challenges because I get to work during the holidays and get my mind on something to do. On the slides we were suppose to do challenges everyday except Sunday and Saturday. I made the challenges easy for me so that my parents would allow me to do it. My highlight is making the slides. My lowlight was nothing. Something I’ll work on next time is trying to update the slides as soon as possible. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Week #1 Holiday Challenges

Today I did Week #1 Holiday Challenges. My teacher Whaea Saf Challenged the class to do holiday challenges. I think I’m the only one right now attending. I really like these challenges because I get to work during the holidays and get my mind on something to do. On the slides we were suppose to do challenges everyday except Sunday and Saturday. I decided to add Sunday and Saturday because I thought it would be better. I also changed some of the activities on my own.

My highlight is Doing the activities. My lowlight was forgetting to complete the tasks. Something I’ll work on next time is trying to update the slides as soon as possible. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Trassum Lvl 3 & 4- Algebra

Today for math I did Trassum Lvl 3 & 4 – Algebra. It was really hard to do level 4 because there were brackets but I ended up finding the answers. Level 3 was okay, but it was much easier than level 4. I really like Algebra now because when you actually write the equation on pen and paper then it’s much easier to solve. We watched a few videos from Ruapotaka school and we knew how to solve the answers.

My highlight was achieving the trophies. My lowlight was working out and solving level 4. Something I’ll work on next time is… understanding more about algebra and finding out new ways to solve the equation. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you! Bye~

Free choices – Writing

Task description: Today for writing I did Free choices. It was really fun trying out new creative free choice tasks to do! I’m supposed to pick only 2 free choice tasks but I did 4 instead because I finished all my work. My first choice was if I could see one color for the rest of my life what would it be? My Second free choice task was what I would do if I won 2 million dollars. My third free choice was make a poem about something gross. My last free choice task was to pretend  you are stranded on a desert Island. Write a story about your experiences. Let me know if you guys would like a part 2 of pretend  you are stranded on a desert Island. Write a story about your experiences. 

My highlight was writing the story about what I would do if I won 2 million dollars. My lowlight was thinking of what tasks to do because they were all fantastic choices. Something I’ll work on next time is nothing, I think I did great this week. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

Blog Commenting – Writing

Task description: Today for writing I did Blog Commenting. For this task we had to go on  5 students blogs 

(from our school) and leave them a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment. I chose Vika, Salem, Eleni, Tumanako & Elijah. This task was really easy and fun to do because we usually do this, but most of the time we don’t. I loved how each person I picked has different tasks/work and they have a good detailed task description. 

My highlight was seeing all of the bloggers work and how hard they worked. My lowlight was trying to think of the people I should pick and what task to comment on. Something I’ll work on next time is trying to add more details to the comments and to give them some feedback/ideas. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!
