Measurement Hunt

  W.A.L.T share our ideas for the Scavenger Hunt


WHAT WAS THE TASK?   To measure the width length and height of things in our school.


WHAT STRATEGY DID OUR GROUP USE TO SOLVE THE TASKS?   Someone held one end and someone else held the other and said the measurement                                                                                                                    DID YOUR STRATEGY WORK? Yes, WHY? Because we were working together.



WOULD I / YOU ABLE TO USE THIS STRATEGY BY MYSELF OR DO I NEED HELP?                   WHO CAN HELP ME? You wouldn't be able to do it by yourself and you would need a friend or a classmate



HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN THE GROUP COMPLETED TASK or WHAT WORKED OR DIDN’T  WORK?  All of it worked for my team and It was fun working it out.



WHICH TASK DID YOU ENJOY THE MOST? WHY?  We read the sheet wrong and thought we needed to measure the height of a basketball court so I got to climb up it. but we didn't know we didn't need to but It was fun anyway.



This was our group doing some measuring

D.I.M.I.C Problem solving

 My favorite one was the Scrooge mc duck one. It was really fun to do and I was very close to working it out. The people in my group were Jorgia (me), Cody, Craig and Shylah. My groups one was the 3rd one down. All we had to do to get it right was to take 2 off the 50 dollars and add it to the 10 dollars one and I would have got it. To work this out we used guess and check, we had done multiple different things until the timer went off. We chose the one closest to the answer. If we had more time I think I would have worked out the right answer. We didn't go up so we didn't need to plan rolls but I was writing and when Rachel asked what our numbers were I told her. D.I.M.I.C is very important because it teaches kids the values of working together and also helps us improve our problem solving skills.

Algebra

W.A.L.T   Use in Algebra the Order of Operations
1st Brackets
2nd Exponents
THEN Division and multiplication
LAST Subtraction and Addition 

This week my class has started algebra. Algebra is a type of maths that uses letters. 

If you had an equation like this and you had to read it to the class it would be much easier to say X - to = 4 rather than empty box - 2 = 4
⬇

−2=4

x−2=4
The X in this equation =6. You don't only have to use x, for different numbers you use different letters.
