This week in math we got a choice of what we wanted to do. We were finishing off our geometry unit with it a mathematical art week. I chose to do tessellation.
First we had to investigate our chosen topic and create a DLO about it. Here is mine:
Then we got to create our art. I made a tile using google drawings and printed it out. Then I glued it onto card and cut it out to make my stencil. Finally I very carefully traced it to make my tessellation and coloured it with pastel. Here is my finished art.
I really enjoyed this week's maths as it was something different and we got to choose our own topic.
This week in numeracy we have been working on transformation. This is where you reflect the shape over the X or Y axis or rotate the shape or translate the shape by sliding it up, down, left or right. We had to make a puzzle about this for other people to solve. Comment below if you know how I have transformed my triangle. I liked learning about transformation as it was more hands on.
This week in math we have been working on what makes and acute and an obtuse angled triangle. We also looked at the different types of triangle there are. I have made a DLO to show my learning on what the triangles are and what acute and obtuse mean. I found this learning easy once I found out the definitions.
This week in reading we read a book about wild deer. We have made a continuum to do with deer and if they are a pest or not. The conservationists want all the deer gone. We researched four groups of people and put them on the continuum to show their opinion. The hunters strongly disagree that they want them gone.I strongly disagree too!
Do you want them gone? This week we have also made a google form about this to see how many people think that deer are pest. Please fill in my form.
This week in writing we have been working on animals to debate if they were pests and my group was deer. There was 6 slides we had to put detailed answers in each slides. At the end we had to decide if we wanted the animal gone or not.
This week in reading we have been working on this map for the Legend of Poutini. We put points that showed where he stopped on his way while fleeing with Waitaiki around Aotearoa/New Zealand. We put photos and a sentence about what happened at that place in each point. When you click on it you can see. I enjoyed doing this activity because making maps is something different.
Hello, this week in maths we have been learning how to make graphs from a google spreadsheet.
This graph shows what I have blogged about this year. It shows that I have blogged most about literacy and I have not blogged at all about maths.
My second graph is about the tools I use to create my work. It shows that I do lots of writing with photos and none with videos. This means I now need to get more creative with my blog posts.
