Making a chain

WALT: Write a recount

Make the chain and measure it.

Monday 23 November 2015 in maths my class room 11 was making a chain out of Red and Green paper. We had to be in buddies, my buddie was Shanelle. Our teacher wanted us to do this because we were learning about estimation. But before we started making a chain we had to estimate how long the chain would be.

Firstly Shanelle and I both agreed to only do 1 cm on the width side. Then we started ruling 1 cm on the paper. I did the green and Shanelle did the red. After we cut the paper we decided on our pattern. Our pattern when red,green,red,green.

Next we started cutting it. It was difficult because I can’t cut a straight line and because I was cutting fast. After we finished cutting we glued and attached them together to create our chain. It was really easy but my hands got really sticky.

Thereafter we were finished and we had to measure it to see how long it was. We ruled our chain against one meter ruler but some people made a chain more than one meter so we had to use two one meter rulers.

Finally we got our measurement and it was 192 cm. It was way over Shanelle and I’s estimation. But I felt happy of what Shanelle and I accomplished.

Our chain was  different to everyone else’s because we did it differently. I learnt to not make the paper thick or the chain will be short. It's better to make it thin. Instead of cutting the paper we could of used the ruler to rip through it.

Length of chains

WALT: Arrange length in order.

Find the mean,median,mode and range.

Explain the differences in length.

Pairs	Length of Chain in centimetres
Viliami and Howard	383
Munokoa and Samuel	320
Petuana and Yazmin	304
Stephanie and Cherish	286
Ketura and Serena	220
Andrea and Lana	200
Alyssa and Shanelle	192
Ifa and Tane	192
Lorenzo and Liam	170
Koliata and Wesley	169
Ben and Dion	86

Mean: 229.272727273 cm     

Rounded off: 229.3

Median: 200 cm

Mode: 192 cm

Range: 297 cm

I think the longest chain is when you make your length size small like 1 cm or 2 mm. Because if you cut the paper to big you will have a short chain.

Mode,Median,Mean and Range

Today in maths time I was playing a game that involved Mode,Median,Mean and Range. My score was 300 and my total score was 300 too. The one I found the easiest was Median,Mean and Range. I found Mode hard because I didn't understand it probably. My next step is to lean more about Range so I can understand it.

E-asttle Maths

I completed my e-asttle work and I got a 3P. I am not really proud of it because I wanted a 4P. I need to improve on write and solve whole problems and using decimals and so much more.

I also wanted to be above the blue line but unfortunately I’m under it.  I will try my best next time.

The Winning ticket

“Look”, shouted the little old lady “i’ve won a winning ticket i’ve won i’ve won i’ve won yay!!!!! finally” When she got home she told her husband and they both started dancing. Then after they  got tired of dancing the her husband asked “ What are we going to do with the money ” and  the old lady looked at him with a great big smile “ I’ve always wanted to go to australia” and the husband said “ Yeah me two ”.

Then the next morning they packed their bags to go to the airport. When they put their bags on the plane they got on the plane and went to their seat. Also the plane ride was 3 ½ hours but they slept most of it , when the plane stopped at the airport in the gold coast. When they went to the department to get their bags they couldn’t see them. So they stayed their for hours waiting for their bags. “ where are our bags “ the old man said “ I don’t know but i'm getting hungry” said the wife. So they went and got something to eat.

When they came back they finally saw their bags they went and grabbed them and went to book into a motel.

THE END

Catching up with the family

WALT: Write a recount 

As the glimpse of sunlight shone on my bedroom window, I could feel the warm Sunday summer sun. Today mum and I thought that we could catch up with my Nana,Aunty and Cousins today.

As I got ready for the day Mum turned the ignition on to start the car. When I heard the car start I ran to entered the car. Before I knew it we were at my Nana’s house, the minute I walked into the house all I could hear were snoring and immediately I knew everyone was asleep. Until I woke them up.

Around 10:30am all the kids were up playing around while the adults were still sleeping. It kinda sucked because I was the oldest so I had to look after the little kids but luckily there were only four of us. We all had to play outside because we were to loud. The older kids played on the trampoline and the two youngest played on the bikes.

Lunch time came up and we were hungry. We asked if we could go and get something from the bakery but the adults told us to not be lazy and make something to eat. We all sighed and made ourselves a ham sandwich and went back outside to eat it. By the time I finished my sandwich I got bored of playing outside, so I decided to go inside and watch tv, all the kids followed me.

Wow did time go fast it was 5:30pm and mum wanted to go home. So we said our goodbyes and left. I felt happy that we went to my nana’s to catch up with the family it was so fun and entertaining.

Tin foil art

Last week Friday I finally finished my art. I drew a bear. It was easy but very difficult to chose what to draw. Also I didn't write BEAR in block letters my friend Petuana did. It will be so fun to do this again.

Double Bar Graph Room 11

WALT: Use online tools to draw a double bar graph.

Watched Didn’t watch

B:10 B:3

G:5 G:7

I made this bar graph to show how many girls and boys did/didn’t watch the RWC final. Frist our teacher told us to put our hands up if we watched it or we didn’t. There were more boys than girls that watched the game because 10 students didn’t watch the game and 13 students that did. I think the boys watch it more than girls because they have a lot of interest in it, and most girls don’t watch it because they have no interest. Everyone in the class predicted a score but Robin was the closest his on was 32-17.
