WALT: Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.

These are my 3 answers:

Problem 1 = width 3 length 15

Problem 2 = width 4 length 20

Problem 3 = 3 bags

I understand the features of different types of texts and text forms.

1. Text features are important because: They help make the poem,website,article and other genres more eye catching and more in depth.

2. Each genre has different text features because: They are all different texts and every genre has different need. Eg: A website needs a eye catching design because it makes people want to buy stuff and in a poem the writer wants the person reading to be able to find a hidden message.

3. Two genres that I studied the text features of are: Website      and     story.

My CARE Progress

I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.

I am proud of my progress I am doing okay

I think I am doing okay because I have quite a few values highlighted.

How far away are you from reaching your BRONZE/SILVER?

I am 8 boxes away from getting my bronze

The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E
I need to work on respect because that is the value that I have the least signed off in.

To achieve my BRONZE/SILVER award quicker I need to……….

Have a teacher conference to see if I have all of the right ticks recorded and then put those ticks in and then earn more ticks 

The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is……

Work on the ticks I have left.

I will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.

WALT apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I have used successfully are..... Always say yes. Thinking on the spot.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practice at…… Making it more spontaneous.

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit was learning all of the new games because I have never heard of them before and they were really fun to play.

The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was getting up in front of everyone because i'm not used to doing that kind of thing.

My favourite improvisation game was doorbell game because it was interesting on what everyone did.

My next step/ something I need to work on further  in improvisation is being more comfortable performing in front of an audience because I was a little bit shy.

Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were:

I enjoyed presenting my reading and maths slides because they were my most detailed ones but they were also the ones that I had to improve on. I also enjoyed showing Mum what we do in our class to pass some time.

What went well and why?

I think time wise it went well because Mr L came at the start and then I finished just before the bell rang to leave. I also think explaining my AsTTle went well because after I explained it Mum had no questions about it.

What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC?

I was challenged when I had to find evidence for my next step and also finding things to say in my writing slides.

What changes would you make for next time and why?
I would change my leadership slide a little bit because it wasn't as detailed enough as I wanted it to and also how I explained my arts and drama.

Task: WALT: Use appropriate scales, devices, and metric units for length, area, volume and capacity, weight

Oranges

Measuring is about making a comparison between what is being measured and a suitable measurement unit. Central to the development of measuring skills is lots of practical measuring experience. Also important is the reality that measurement is never exact.

Required Resource Materials:

• Oranges
• Measuring equipment including; rulers, scales, measuring jugs.

Activity: Complete the questions below:

1. How can you measure an orange? (there will be multiple answers for this, list as many as you can think of). Weight,Length,Width,Capacity.Think of the attributes of an orange eg juice. Juice and inside
2. Choose two of these attributes of an orange to measure and carry out the task. Write up a proposal for your investigation, including details on:

• Attribute being measured

    Juice and inside

• Equipment required

    Knife, chopping board, cup and spoon

Method (step by step)

Cut orange

Squeeze the juice out of the orange  220 weight of insides  50 mls juice

Measure the juice

Peel out the inside of the orange

Measure the inside of the orange     

      How will you present your results?

    Google doc

• Write up your results

3. What were successful/unsuccessful approaches to measuring each of your chosen Attributes? Why? I think that squeezing all of the juice out of the orange was a bit of both as it made a mess but we got most of the juice in a container.
4. With the inside of the orange I think it didn’t go very well because first using a spoon didn’t work but then we tried a knife and it kinda worked.   220 weight of insides  50 mls juice
5. Choose 4 other objects to measure in the class - use 4 different measurements eg measure the length of something and the weight of something else. Write up your results in a table.  Pencil-length=17cm  book-width=20.5cm  scissors-weight compare with 4 highlighter= highlighter are just heavier  drink bottle- capacity= 760mls

My next step is to have a teacher conference and find a new goal

In Maths we have been learning to use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating with whole numbers.

Here is a link to our online modelling book

The strategies we have been learning are:

- Estimate the reasonableness of large problems like 1 788 – 891. Could 497 be right?

- Use multiplication to solve addition and subtraction problems eg.

  64 – 48 = as (8 x 8) – (6 x 8) = 2 x 8= 16

- Use doubling / halving, trebling/ thirding and adjusting to solve multiplication problems,

 eg.  12 x 50 solved as 4 x 150= 600

- Use an algorithm to solve multiplication problems.

- Solve problems using simple cube numbers .

- Use an algorithm to solve division problems.

Here is a link to my Multiplicative Strategies Assessment which shows that I know why and how I use particular strategies. This doc also has screenshots to show which IXL activities I have completed as part of my learning.

My next step in my Maths Learning is…… long division
