Maths Statistics

A few weeks ago Room 15 Had to colour a piece of white paper in green which is fruits and veges,purple which is drinks,pink which is sweets and desserts and blue which is other.
We had to vote which one we would go home to eat and which is the most common.
The most common is fruits and veges,The least common is other.
We also made the squares into different graphs like a bar graph,Pie graph,dot plot,strip graph and histogram.
What would you vote for?

My favourite part about swimming is learning new things and helping others.

Something I want to improve on is my speed and my backstroke.

Something I have improved on is my breaststroke and breathing.

Reflection on Blogging

If I were to tell a class to do blogging I would tell them that blogging is really cool because you get to comment on other peoples blogs all over the world and you get to share your learning with others and they could help you make it better.

To make a good comment you must say something nice about their work and maybe ask a question so you can continue the conversation and even say something that will make their work better.

What I like about blogging is that you get to know what other classes do around the world because they might do different things to us and you get to find out what work they do.

What helps me with my learning with blogging is that you can get feed back and feed forward for your learning and they might say something that could help you with your learning or make it better.

I think blogging is great the way it is and I don't think we should make any changes.

Algebra

For maths we are doing algebra.  Today for algebra we had a problem solving activity involving a shortage of tent pegs.  Here is the problem.

The youth group are having a camp. they needed to put up tents for each team. Usually it takes eight large pegs to hold up each of their tents. This time they have a problem. They are very short on large tent pegs.

Leader: "Find some ways to put up tents that will save pegs" (Talking to the groups).

We had to work with a classmate to find a least three ways to put up ten tents.  Then we had to find out which of the ways used the least amount of pegs.

Emily and I made a way that only used 39 pegs but then Brooke came and looked at our layout and suggested that we could take some pegs away and join them to others.  Our second layout came to 36 pegs. The white bits of paper is the tents and the green counters are the pegs.  We had the least amount of pegs in the end and some people got up to 60 pegs altogether.  

Picture one is the first design:                                    Picture two is the second design:
