Room 7's Overall Flag Vote

Fifteen students chose the original flag as their favourite. They like the flag just the way it is. We obviously don't like change in Room 7. The Silver Fern behind the red, white and blue background was chosen by eight people. This was the popular flag choice against the other flag designs but when it is up against the original flag, it is not a winner.

Room 7's Favourite New Zealand Flag Design

The favourite flag was the red, white and blue silver fern. Sixteen people chose the red, white and blue silver fern.

The least favourite flag was red peak. Only one person in the class chose red peak.

I think the red, white and blue silver fern flag was the most popular because it has the exact same colours as the original flag. This flag has the Southern Cross on it which is the same design as the original flag. 

The Chopsticks Challenge: Measuring the number of centimetres from where the sweets were dropped

This graph shows the numbers of centimetres from where the starting bowl was and where the sweets were dropped. We used chop sticks to carry each sweet from one bowl to the other bowl. The bowls were measured 1 metre apart. Ta'ani and Joseph's sweets were the closest to the bowls. Sky's sweet was 22cm from the starting spot. Her's was the furthest sweet away. Shailah, Vahoi and Joseph's sweets had a similar measurement. The rest of the class did not drop their sweets. The winegums were the easiest sweets to carry on the chop sticks because they were not slippery and were thick round the outside. The pebbles were slippery because they were not the same thickness all the way round. The pebbles were thicker / fatter in the middle and thinner round the outside. 

4 x 5 = 20

 

 This is my poster on using multiplication arrays. Today I have been learning about the multiplication symbol. When I get given a problem like this I need to count the rows across and then count the column down. Then I multiply the numbers together to get the answer.

Understanding the x symbol

 

 Today as a rich task in Maths I learnt what the x symbol means. The times symbol means... If I was given an array to solve I would need to count the rows across and then the columns down to work out my answer.  4 x 4 = 16

Hajera's We Video on Packet Food

This my we video that I made looking at the amount of fat and sugar in packet foods.

Digital Learning Object for this week

What's in the classes (Room 7's) lunchboxes?

In Room 7, potato chips were the most popular lunch box food. There were 21 packets of chips in the class. This was way too high. The second favourite food item was fruit. There were 20 pieces of fruit on this day. Miss Paton had five pieces of fruit this day. If Miss Paton didn't have the fruit we would look bad. The jelly was the least popular food item. Sandwiches were reasonably popular, however packet food seemed to be the highest in the class.

What's in my lunchbox? Graphs

This was my lunch taken on Wednesday July 22nd. As you can see I had fruit this day. I had five pieces of fruit, one Muesli Bar and a Le Snak. The Muesli and the Le Snak was the unhealthiest because it had sugar in it and I honestly don't know what else are in these packaged food items. I think I need to have more of a balanced lunch where there is a sandwich (breads and cereals) and to have something from milk and milk products such as yoghurt or a piece of cheese.

Number Houses-Understanding Digit Order

Today I have been learning the order of numbers from ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.

Place Value using 2 digit numbers

Today I was given a number. I had to make the number using tens and ones blocks and I had to express the number as an equation. I also had to write the number in words.

Thinking Groups problem week 3

Today I was given a word problem. This was the strategy my group came up with. In my group I had Taylor, Marieta, Nyjah and Joseph.

What's in my lunchbox?

This term we have been learning about healthy eating. This pie chart shows the foods that were in my lunch box on Wednesday July 22. I had five pieces of fruit, 1 Le Snak and 1 muesli bar in my lunch box. The food that were missing were sandwiches, yoghurt, cheese and meat

Sharing my Maths Strategy

Last week I was given the Maths problem.... I had to share my strategy. I used We Video to record my thinking.

Sharing my Thinking using Move Note

Today I was given an array of snails. I had to work out the number of snails in this array. I worked out the number of snails by counting from one.

SPS Subtraction from ten

This morning I have been learning to subtract from ten. My equation was 10 - 4 = 6. I used the line tool to take four away from ten.

My Grouping Within Ten

This is my Grouping within ten. Today I have been learning to use the shape tool and paint bucket to show my grouping within ten. My grouping within ten was 3 + 7. I used the smiley face shape tool to do this.

SPS My Grouping within ten

 

This is my second grouping within ten poster. I used 2 yellow blocks and 8 blue blocks to make ten. I used a combination of numbers and words to create my sentences. 

My Grouping Within Ten Poster

This is my grouping within ten. Today I used blocks to make my grouping within ten. I used 4 yellow blocks and 6 green blocks. I have also used a combination of words and numbers to make my grouping within ten.
