Maths this week

This week we have been learning about angles and degrees.
An angle is where something meets another thing that goes in a different direction eg:  This is a 90 degree angle called a right angle here are all the different types of angles.

Here is the tool to measure angles.

It also shows how it works.
There are obtuse angles,right angles and acute angles. eg

Obtuse are more then 90 degrees right are exactly 90 degrees and acute are less then 90.

Maths this week

This week in maths we are doing co ordinates. these work by a grid the grid has a        y axis and a x axis the y axis is the side line the x axis is the bottom line.
This is a simple one.

There are Numbers on both sides on the bottom and on the side this one is a positive grid there is also a negative and positive grid. This is the neg and pos grid.

Ink Tapa

This week T3 and T2 have been working on tapa cloth we have chosen a design and drawn it onto our good copy then we used indian ink to go over the lines with a thin brush. After we finish doing that we get to stain it with a tea stain.
This is my tapa with no tea stain.

Today i will get the tea stain on and then it will look much more better.

Recycling Argument

This week I have done a recycling argument about is recycling essential This is my argument.

Recycling argument.

I strongly believe that we should recycle and get rid of plastic.

If we recycle glass, metal and paper it will be good for the environment, animals and our water.

Plastic is bad for the environment it kills. It can kill animals the environment and even us! If we carry on with this plastic and littering we will end up with nothing to live for. Our fresh air will be no longer fresh and our water will be polluted so if we want to keep fresh air and our fresh water we better get rid of all this plastic and start recycling.

It is alright to recycle plastic but where is it all going to go when we stop recycling it? In the ocean in the rivers and what is going to happen to our animals? Dead! All dead.

With recycling the paper metal and glass it is easy to do and  if you drop them they aren't going to be as bad for the environment because paper breaks down super easy and glass is made of sand so if we break glass up into tiny pieces and then bury it it will turn into its natural self. With metal its natural self is just what it is when it is on land so all we need to do really is to cut it up into little bits and bury it. It should be fine.

With plastic bags they use a very special oil.  Oil that takes millions of years to come back. Plastic bags also take 500-600 years to break down and decompose.

Tie dyeing results

We have been working on Tie Dyeing our T-Shirts they are looking great at the moment i haven't done mine yet but looking at the other ones they are good.
Here are some photos of them.

Maths week.

This week is maths week, we changed it because we were very busy earlier in the Term. Totara 3 went to all the junior class's and we did a maths treasure hunt in groups of two-three. The groups started by getting the map, to get the map they had to put numbers in order to ten once they did they got their map. Their was five place's for them to go to. Quiet  area, bell, wall of hall, steps to the dental clinic.
At each of them they got one piece of puzzle. Once they had all of their puzzle piece's they had to go to class and make the puzzle. (It was a square) Once they had done the puzzle they got a maths colouring sheet. They had to do the maths and then they had to colour it.
They had to colour it in the instructions that came with the sheet and then they were done.
After they were done they show'd us things on their iPad's and showed us a cool app on their teachers laptop. After that all of us Totara 3 came back to our class.  

Pica Fummi

This week I have been learning about a Maths game called Pica Fummi. Today I am going to tell you how to play it!

Rules

• Pica means right number wrong place.
• Fummi means right number right place.

To play this game you will need a white board and white board marker and a partner.
Start off by putting numbers to ten going down the white board like this.

1. 
   
2. 
   
3. 
   
4. 
   
5. 
   
6. 
   
7. 
   
8. 
   
9. 
   
10.  

Once you have done that you are ready to go. Pick a three digit number (No double digits) Once chosen a number ask your partner to say any three digit number.
EG:

1.  103
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
9.   
10.  

If your partners number has a right number wrong place put 1 Pica, if he has a right number right place put Fummi eg: Your number was 103.

1.  589 -------
2.  102 2 Fummi
3.  301 2 Pica 1 Fummi
4.   
5.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
9.  
10.   

So as you have seen the line on number 1 that means there is no number at all in it but if your partner does get your number they have one. 

EG:

1.  589 --------
2.  102 2 Fummi
3.  301 2 Pica 1 Fummi
4.  103 3 Fummi
5.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
9.  
10.  

If your partner wins they pick the number next.

If your partner gets to ten then you get to pick the number again.

So as you can see this is the maths game Pica Fummi. It may seem hard to understand but when you understand it is quite easy.
