Geometry Pre-Test

This morning, the students of Team 5 had an opportunity to show off their Geometry skills by taking a pre-test.  This test will be used by the teachers to help with planning for upcoming Geometry lessons and to help show the students exactly what they have learnt over the time we study Geometry this term.

Learning Rotations Have Begun!

Today was Day 3 of the 2019 school year and the students in Team 5 were able to meet their Literacy and Maths teachers today for the first time as a cohort. Students rotated to their learning groups throughout the day and it was so fun to get back into the swing of learning new things!

Here are some pictures from Mrs. Moala's maths class working collaboratively to solve a problem with groups of 4 (of their choice) from their DMIC group (half of the class).

Maths: Stem and Leaf Plots

Walt: find the mean, median and mode of a data set.

What makes a good digizen? Today in Math Miss Kyla came to talk to us about what makes a good digizen. What is a digizen? A digizen is a online good citizen, and what's a citizen? A citizen is a good person to there own country.

Anyways this photo is a good digizen. The face shows it's a positive person, the bubble is there because they think twice, the shirt represents our school, the arms are shown that they are strong and the arrows show that they are choosing to take the right path and leave good foot prints.

Today in the middle block we worked with Miss Kyla, we were told to make a person on google drawings and explain what it means. So this is my person the things I drew down are curls. a smiley face, triangle, heart and two arrows.

The curls represent what you press on which means you have to be careful what you press on or watch while online, the smiley face represents kindness while your online, the triangle represents truthfulness which means you have to always be true to others, the heart represents love which means you always have to show love and respect to others while you are online and the arrows represents respect which means you have to always show respect towards others.

My nose means that he is a brain stormer.
MY ear's mean That He shows love to the people around him.
my hat means That every one is a nice big star in his hart.

Testing Week at Pt. England

This week Pt. England students are testing in all of their classes.  The year 7 and 8 students took their maths tests today during our middle block.  This is a very special year for testing at Pt. England School because the students are taking their tests on their own devises (Chromebooks for most of the Team 5 students) for the first time.  The amazing mathematicians in Mrs. Moala's Maths Class worked hard to do their best at the test!

I am so proud of all of you!  -Mrs. Moala

How Many Sticks Are You Tall?

In Class 24, we have been talking about different ways to measure things.  Today, we decided we could measure how tall we are using Mrs. Moala's cool ice block sticks!

Leah and Bryston are counting Kauri's sticks

Victoria is taking a break while Sauma sees how tall she is!

We had to measure Kauri twice!
This time Exodus T and Peni are seeing how tall Kauri is!

Keyana is being measured by Leah, and Bryston is trying to join in too!

 How many sticks tall are you?  Come visit us in Class 24 and maybe we'll measure you, too!

We even learnt what 1/2 meant because a whole stick was too much for some people's heights!

Amazing learning and Visitors

Class 24 is so smart!  We have been playing a fun maths game on our iPads called Slide, and we are getting so good at recognising our numbers using fingers and dots.  We had some special visitors from all over New Zealand visit our class today, and they joined in our game.  Israel and Peni are so smart, they were able to beat the visiting teachers!  Amazing job boys!

Peni and Israel playing Slide with our visiting teachers.

 Siu and Cherish were both so proud of the sentences they wrote yesterday, and they wanted to share them on our blog.  Amazing job Siu and Cherish!

Siu is so proud of the sentence he wrote all by himself!

"The astronaut is on the moon."

Cherish is so proud of the sentence she wrote and the picture she drew to go with it!

"Dora is jumping."

Marvelous Maths!

Class 24 has been working very hard to read, write and count our numbers from 0-20.  Check out all the different ways we are learning in Class 24!

Sauma and Amelia put the numbers 1-20 in order and then counted out the correct number of sticks for each number.  They even sorted the sticks by colour while counting!

 Leah worked very hard to put the numbers 1-10 in order using our new puzzle.

Israel and Bryston were working hard to match the number with the right number of objects.

  

Persia and Kharizma are such clever girls!  While colouring their maths pages, they decided to sort their crayons by colour!

Peni is working hard learning to write double digit numbers.

Keep up the good work Class 24!  Mrs. Moala is so proud of you!

Learning Double Digits!

Class 24 has been hard at work learning how to count to 20, and we have been learning how to write our numbers.  This week we learnt how to write the numbers 11 and 12, and we are so excited to share our learning with you!

Exodus T. was able to count 12 teddy bears.

Exodus T. drew 12 balloons after learning how to write "12".

Sauma used the stamp on KidPix to "stamp" 14 lollipops!

Leah and Keyana were able to count 11 sticks and they are so excited to show you how amazing they are at counting!
