Maths goal: Scales, timetables and charts to help me solve a range of different problems

WALT- I can apply relevant information from scales, timetables and charts to help me solve a range of different problems.

Modelling book
Maths goal

I found it quite easy once I had the hang of what I had to do. I found the last activity challenging because I had to match up different teams and sometimes they were together, then I had to start again and change when they played.

Apply simple linear proportions, including ordering fractions

I learnt how to compare ratios and I also learnt how to turn improper fractions into mixed numbers using division.
I found the relational task hard becasue finding simaliraties and differences in both stratergies.
Extended abstract

Turn improper fractions into mixed numbers by using division, like mixed numbers by using division like 47/7 to 6 5/7

Use numbers to compare ratios with proportions, like 2:5 or 3:4

Parliament

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

  • Where all the people sit in parliament. E.g. John Key sits in the 4th seat.
  • What all of the roles are in parliament e.g. Sergeant at arms removes any members that are being overly rowdy.
  • Before a law became a law it was called a bill.

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

CARE: My progress so far

CARE: My progress so far


The CARE award that I am working towards is:  Silver


The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is: Community          because: I have 7 highlighted off and on the other values I only have 5


The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is:   Active thinking and respect            because: they are the two that I have the least highlighted off in.


To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: I show the leadership traits resilience and integrity


On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level:             because: I know how to use the values by myself and I could show other how to use them.

Koru Games

The activity I did was Netball.
Two highlights were:

  • Coming 6th out of out of 32 teams because we had a lot of tough competition. 
  • Winning to some of the teams by a lot because we worked hard all year.
I am proud of improving a lot because at the start of the year I wasn't the greatest and now I am a lot better.

Some advice on Koru Games for the next years year 7's is that try your best and if you don't make it into a team just move to another team and have fun.
