Maths Collaboration

We have started a High Flyer project this term and we are going to do a lot of work on collaboration.

After a big discussion today we came up with this list of what we think collaboration is and what it could mean:

Collaboration means…

• groups
• everyone’s ideas made into 1
• everyone working together on one thing
• putting something together that the whole class (or group) did
• working together and sharing ideas and coming up with something that everyone is happy with
• compromise, teamwork, working together, patience, listening, taking turns

This was our maths today.  We collaborated on some maths problems.  It was trickier typing down our working out than we thought but we gave it a good go.  We worked well in our groups of 2 and 3 but we all have something to work on next time.  We used different strategies but decided that was ok.

Weekend Homework - Maths challenge

Answers will be given out at 11.30 on Monday.  Have a go and see if you can solve our problems!

Leave a comment and your working out if you are brave enough :-)

Measurement

We have started off our unit about measurement by looking at non-standard units of measurement. 

We have been measuring our height with popsicle sticks, matchsticks and pens.  We have measured distance in footsteps and handspans.

Some are accurate and some aren't (Anaru)

We shouldn't do all of our measuring in non standard because it's all not the same (Charlotte)

Our feet are all different sizes so all the measurements are different (Ella)

Our handspans are different because our hands are bigger and smaller (Tiana)

When we measure our body with popsicle sticks it's all different because some of us are taller and shorter (Sela)

We took steps to the pig pen from our class and I took 145 steps, Rawiri took 140 and Raukawa took 143 (Kruz)

The distance doesn't change, it just means that people have bigger and smaller shoes (Victoria)

If Miss J told us to measure a big long distance it would take forever!

Loads of measurement going on.

Kruz didn't have as many popsicle sticks as anyone else

Neha was measuring footsteps to the pig pen

Online Learning

Titans - I found a great website for you and have made us a SYMBALOO! Now we need to find a good range of learning websites to add to it. These will be the sites that we are allowed onto in class. If you find any good ones put them on a sticky note for me, or write a comment. Click on the link below and off you go :-)
