Maths Reflection

This week we only did maths twice. The first day we did it I did a maths sheet.  It was about graphs. I had to work the problem out by using a graph. I learnt how to use all types of graphs. 

Today we did group problem solving. I know we need to read the problem and look for the key words and this tells us what operation we need to use. Something I need to work on is reading the problem properly. Strategies I used was addition.

What I know about Tupaia

I learnt these facts about Tupaia.

Who he was?
Tupaia was a high priest navigator.

Where he came from?
Tupaia Originally came from an island called Raiatea in the pacific islands group known to Europeans as the society islands.

What was he well known for?
Star navigation and he was a Voyager and a artist.

Why was he in NZ?
He travelled to NZ with Captain Cook so he could help communicate with the different cultures. Maori and Europeans.

What happened to Tupaia?
Tupaia died from a fever known as Maliria.

I found that Tupaia was very smart and it was interesting to see how much he knew.

Maths Reflection

This term for maths we have been doing problem solving. We have groups that we go into every time we do maths. In my group there is Me, Michelle, Ben and Kanita.

One of the most recent problem's we have done was:

There are 13 more boys than girls in the soccer club. The total membership is 65.
How many boys are in the club?


This how we worked it out:
65 - 13 = 52
52 ÷ 2 = 26
26 +13 = 39

Answer: 39 boys



I found this one easy. Me and my group worked very well together.
We went up and showed the class how we worked it out. We have rolls for each person.

Kanita was the reader so she red out the problem, I was the presenter so I told the class how we worked it out. Michelle was the writer  she wrote how we worked it out and Ben was the questioner he asked if there were any question's and he answered them.

With problem solving I have learnt how to find the rule and to read the problem carefully before working it out.

Sketch pad a drawing website to draw what Whaea reads.
