Ratio Resolution !



As you all may know, Pt England and some other schools has been learning online due to Covid-19. We've been doing a lot of cool things. We've been able to contact each other by a hangout call with our teachers and class. Today Mrs Stone had a new slide up for room 11 maths to complete. It was quite easy. The video in slide 1 is just a reminder of how to solve ratio problems.

I hope you're all well and being safe.

Enjoy! :)

Day Two of no school :) | What's up ? |

Today was the second day of no school. We've been learning at home and online with our chrome books! I started my morning off with a nice hot shower :) Then had my breakfast. After that, I got straight into work. I joined Mrs Tele'a at 8:30am, reading the daily time table. Also said the school karakia like usual, may have say the school mihi and sang Wairua Tapu as Mrs Tele'a wanted us too.

Usually on a Wednesday I'd be at Extension but because I was at home I got right into literacy.
This time I decided to do the create tasks because I've already answered the questions. Later on, it was finally time to call Miss Tapuke. This time it was different. She explained our tasks like usual but then gave us a quiz. She asked us questions about our texts, and we answered them :) After the quiz Miss Tapuke decided to send us off the hangout to do our work. I had a little break with my sister. We had a snack and played outside. It was lots of fun. After all, isolation is driving me crazy !

We came back inside and I carried on with my literacy task as my sister Eva went on with her school work too. I then decided to switch to maths :) Mrs Stone had new work set for us. I had a look at the video she had made for us and scrolled down to see a brand new slide waiting to be completed. I had a look at the video she had inserted in the slides and responded when she asked us too. She helped us complete the first 3 slides. She then let us try to solve the following slides.

It was a bit different as our maths call was moved to 1:00pm. Well, it was time to call each other! We did the rest of the word problems on the slide together on the call because some people were still confused (including me :) Once again, the call was very very very tragic! Some forgot to mute themselves and it was just, really confusing. It didn't help that it was a bit laggy but doing learning at home with your teacher is better then nothing :)

Once we finished out hangout Mrs Stone set us off to complete the presentation. We all got removed off the call one by one and did our learning for today. Time went by and all of a sudden it was 3:00pm!

It would've been the end of school but I kept pushing to get a couple of things finished.

In the end i'd say I'm proud of what I've accomplished today.

I hope you're all having a good time, don't forget to be safe!

God Bless xo

Ratio Practice



Task Description:

In this presentation we were tasked to answer the following questions in the slides ahead. While on a hangout with Mrs Stone we answered a few of the questions together as a class. She explain how we could solve this then Mrs Stone set us off to do some by our selves. This was a really fun task as some of the word problems were quite confusing. It was pretty challenging. Overall doing this as a class was fun. Although it was pretty noisy.  Distance learning isn't easy sometimes but it's better than nothing :)

Be safe :) !

Day one of no school: How's it going?

I started my morning with a light breakfast and waited for time to pass by, 8:30 hit and I read our daily timetable. I said the school karakia and sang a little hymn. Then got straight into work. I had a little look at our reading work and waited for 9:00am to pass so I could request to join the hangout with Miss Tapuke. Finally I was able to join! Miss Tapuke explained our what our tasks were for the week. She then gave us time to ask our questions. After that we all said our goodbye's and set off to work. I read our group story again so I could have a better understanding of the story. Our story was called 'Moriori: A Story Of Survival.

I answered a few of the questions and well it was time to watch PENN. But because I was at home and no one was at school, there was no PENN. So I decided to watch something off our school Archives. I then had a little snack for morning tea and had a little break then did the bingo sheet Mrs Tele'a handed us. Later on I did some of my maths work. Had a flick through the presentation and answered a few of the questions. 12:20pm came around and it was time to call Mrs Stone about our maths work.

She explained our tasks just like Miss Tapuke did! We did a small workshop with each other, answering a few of the questions together and showing each other strategies of solving them. The call with Mrs stone and room 11 maths class was a bit Tragic. It was really noisy! But it was still a lot of fun :) Mrs stone then removed us from the call and again, we did our work.

It was then lunch time! I had a pie! It was amazing :) I had a little play outside on our trampoline and also played around with my younger sister Eva. 2:00 hit and it was the end of my lunch break :) It was time to do some home class learning. Usually we do FIOP (finish it off properly), Blog commenting or our inquiry work which is Te Whare Tapa Wha. So I decided to do FIOP. I eventually got to finish some work off and finally it was 3:00pm which means school was officially over!

I had an amazing day, I'm still not used to learning at home but I'll have to get used to it eventually.

Stay safe everybody and hope you had an amazing day! God bless you all xox

Rambunctious Ratios (Doc 2)

We are learning to use multiplication and division to solve proportion and ratios problems.

Rambunctious Ratios

Multiplication and Division Practice.

Work these problems out in your mind and discuss your strategies with your group. Show a couple of strategies below, but the rest of the questions can just be answered
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
1.     29 x 20 = 580  
2.     33 x 15 = 495
3.     76 x 24 = 1824
4.     65 x 17 =1105
5.     72 x 15 = 1080
6.     33 x 16 = 528
7.     34 x 31 = 1054
8.     42 x 26 = 1092
9.     90 ÷ 30 = 3     
10.   280 ÷ 40 = 7         
11.   300 ÷ 12 = 25
12.   625 ÷ 25 =25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Word problem of the week:

For every 8 girls in a school, there are 12 boys. If there are 60 students in the school, how many girls and boys are there in the school?

8:12
8x3=24
12x3=36
36+24=60

Our final answer

Task Description:

In this task we learnt about ratios. We had to solve the word problems provided and we also had the solve the multiplication and division practice. We had to post at least one of the documents we worked on. I liked this task as it was really fun to do. Working at home has been a lot different now that I don't get to see my friends as often but we'll get used to it.

Stay safe!

Task Description:

In this blog post you can see room 11 maths class has been working on ratios. We've been learning the strategies of how to solve these equations out. We were tasked to post at least one of the documents. I decided to post Doc 1 and 2. This was a really fun document to do as it was quite easy. Although I have worked with ratios before so yeah !:)

Room 11's Favourite Fruit

WALT: Conduct a statistical Inquiry


Task Description:

Today in maths we made our own charts in a pair. Pisi and I were in a pair, working together. We had to think of a topic then we were able to start planning out our chart. Our question was 'what is room 11's favourite fruit?'  Next we made our form to gather our data. As you can see on our chart, majority of the class likes strawberries. Most people in room 11 has different kind of taste and taste buds.
