Weekly Reflection

This week we have been learning how to: solve Byzantine Dromon, 700AD maths problems where we have to keep the boat afloat. To solve this there are 5 numbers,that you have to multiply two of the numbers and then add the three that are left but they all have to equal the same number. For example. with the second column 2x6 =12 so the three numbers left have to = 12 so i put 3+4+5 wich = 12. The first column was not possible to solve.

Work Books

This week we had to complete our maths work books on geometry. I found it easy I learnt new names of shapes I did not know.

Weekly Reflection T3Wk2

Hi Everyone.
This week has been pretty average. Miss Hines was away on Monday and Tuesday so we had Miss Lagen. For ICT we had to create a slide about ourselves to introduce us to our Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu buddies.
Here is mine.

We have been also reading See Ya Simon. We had to complete some comprehension questions around the chapters we have been reading. So far I am really enjoying the book. I like it better than our last class novel which was Kensuke's Kingdom.

This week I have completed all of my 20 quick questions for Maths. The green ones are the ones that I got right, the red ones are ones that I still need to work on. (In other words I failed miserably!)
