My Maths Learning

In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 = 6                    ⅓ of 9= 3               1/10 of 20=2

⅔ of 12= 8                    ⅘ of 10=  8             

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ = 1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 1 1/3

7/4 = 1 3/4

Garden day

GARDEN DAY ACTIVITY REFLECTION SHEET 
This document is a reflection on the purpose, process and outcomes of our Garden Day Activities.

PROCESS:
(What we did).
  • we listened to the instructions then we had to make a kete
  • we had to split the flax and cut the tip into a point
  • it takes sixteen pieces of flax for a kete
  • then we started weaving the flax together
  • it took three people, one to hold the flax, one to move the pegs and one to weave

WHAT WORKED WELL:
(What did we do well to make sure our activity was successful?)
  • we worked hard as a team

WHAT DIDN’T WORK WELL:
(What do think didn’t work well during your activity?  Why? How did you/could you fix this?)
  • sometimes we got in each others way, if we practise we would get better


WHAT THINGS DID YOU LEARN ?
  • it wasn’t as hard as I thought when I found out there were three people in the group
  • I couldn’t do the part where you had to put the flax under other flax.

About Me

We have been learning what is personal and what is private information online.
Personal information we can share online  e.g. favourite things, hobbies, favourite food, first name, age
Private information we do not share online e.g. home address, birth date, home phone number, full name. If we are not sure we keep it private.

I am 10 years old. I love playing sport because it gives me energy. I like learning and going to school to learn. You get smarter and smarter every day. I am the only girl out of my sisters that has a really cool school. In my spare time I like to go to the park with my friends and go to the pools.I have been coming to this school for 3 Years now and my best friend Petra,Ray.
