Making a chain

Making a chain

WALT: 1) write a recount

           2) integrate maths and writing

On Monday, the whole class had to work in groups of two’s for maths. The person that I worked with was Serena. After we got in our pair we had to get two different coloured A5 papers.

First after we got our papers, we had to estimate on how long our chain would be. Then we had a discussion about the strategy on how to make our chain the longest.

Next, we measured the width of our strips. After measuring the width I had to cut them out and while I was cutting out the strips I had to glue the at the same time too.

Thereafter when we finished making our chain, we had to measure it with a one meter ruler. When Serena and I measured our chain we had 220cm.

Finally when everyone had finished making there chain, we recorded how long our chains were.

     

Length of chains

Length of chains

WALT: 1) Arrange length in order.

           2) Find mean, median, mode, range.

           3) Explain the differences in length.

Pairs	Length of chain in centimeters
Ben and Dion	86
Koliata and Wesley	169
Liam and Lorenzo	170
Alyssa and Shanelle	192
Ifa and Tane	192
Andrea and Lana	200
Ketura and Serena	220
Stephanie and Cherish	286
Petuana and Yazmin	304
Munokoa and Samuel	320
Villiami and Howard	383

Mean - 229.27272cm

Median - 200cm

Mode - 192cm

Range - 297cm

Rounded off - 229.3cm

Ben and Dion has the shortest chain because they cut their strips into big thick pieces. Villiami and Howard has the longest chain in class because they cutted their two A5 papers into small strips so it could be the longest.

Reading E asttle

In my reading e asttle test I got a 3A. For this test I have done bad because I wanted a 4P. The reason why I have done bad in my reading was because I had to know how to work out new words and they had mean and many more.

Maths E attle

On my maths e asttle I got an 3P. I am not proud of my e asttle maths results because I was hoping for a 4P. The things that I forgot and got wrong was solve fractions using whole numbers and many. Next time when I do my maths test I will try hard to get a 4P.

WALT: make a connection to the story

Double Bar Graph

WALT: create a double bar graph

Today in the morning our teacher collected the information on who watched the game and who didn’t watched the game on a Sunday morning. The data was about the rugby world cup finals. In our class 15 out of 25 people watched the game, and 10 out of 25 people did not watched the game. Last Friday in the afternoon we predicted our scores on what the points would be. I think that few of the people didn't watch the rugby world cup because they don't have sky. The closest score that was called was 32 points for the All Blacks and 17 for the Australians by Robin.
