Simplifying expressions

Hi my name is Helene and I am from Wesley Intermediate. Last week we were learning about simplifying expressions. Have a look at my DLO to find out how to do it.

I found this task confusing but quiet easy once I got the hang of it. I think I need to work on doing it faster. Simplifying expressions is really fun and very useful. See if you can work out 3x+9y+7x-4y+2 and 7x2+6-3x2-4 and let me know the answer in the comments.

Fraction multiplication.

Hi my name is Helene I am in room 9 at Wesley intermediate. This week in maths I was learning to multiply fractions.

I found This task hard at first but once I got the hang of it it is quite easy. I think I need to work on working out the answer quicker. I would like to know more about simplifying the answer. multiplying fractions is very fun and simple after you know the technique.

Flash cards

This week in maths we were learning our basic facts.

On Monday the 17 September we had two basic facts test, one on multiplication and the on division. After our tests we had to circle the questions we got wrong or didn't answer on each test. I missed 5 questions on the multiplication test, but none wrong. on the division test I got 1 wrong, and missed a few. Then we chose the 10 hardest questions on both the tests together. My teacher tested me and gave me 5 questions to put on flash cards then he gave me 5 fraction multiplication questions.

simple, compound and complex sentences.

This week in writing I have been learning to use simple, compound and complex sentences. we use this to help our writing get better grades and be way more interesting.

I found this task a little bit challenging to do the complex sentences but the simple sentences and compound sentences were easier. I think I need work on using the correct conjunctions. I would like to know more about making the sentences making sense.

Mean, median, mode and range

This week in maths I have been learning about mean, median, mode and range. we use these to help us understand and explain data that we collect.

This is my DLO on mean, median, mode and range.

I found this task easy to do but it was good to recap because it will help me in the future. I think I need work on remembering what each of them mean. I would like to know more about knowing when to use each of the different average strategies. 

Maths

This week room 9 is learning about mean, median, mode and range in maths. My maths group (Darth Vader's)  did an assignment on ed-puzzle which is a great website where our teacher sets us work and we get to contemplate it in really fun ways. We also have to create a maths Digital learning objective (DLO). to do that we have to make a google drawing a show others about our work we did that week and how to do the different things we learnt. This is my maths DLO for week 2.

Matariki animation

To celebrate Matariki this week we made a google slides animation with some facts about Matariki. This is my Matariki animation. I really enjoyed finding lots of cool facts about Matariki. The thing I found challenging was getting the screencastify right it took a few try's but I did get it close in the end. To make the animation we used google slides and added pictures then we added screencastify over the animation. If I did it again I would try and find different facts that know one else knew. Hope you enjoy watching my animation!
