Winning the sumdog competition

Yesterday was the last day in the sumdog competition. This all started on Monday the 20th November. At the starting we went all out but then we realised that we weren't even doing the competition, that slowed us down in the competition. So when we found out we were doing the wrong mode we went back into the real competition mode and straight away got into the top 10. Then throughout the week we kept on doing sumdog and kept coming in the top 5 at the end of the day but yesterday we caught up to room 10 and overtook them. Room 7 was very hard to overtake them. we were not that behind only 25 points behind but we couldn't beat them we still got 2nd place. I am very happy of coming 2nd in the competition. which place did your school or class come?

The Legendary Result

Yesterday I sat a E-asttle maths strand test. I did a level 4-5 test so it was a bit harder then some of the others. I got a 4p and i'm alright with that. Im not happy but I think its a good score for me because i'm terrible in strand. I went one level down from last time because last term I got a 4a in maths but its alright I still got a four.

Prototec T4W3

Today I did a timed stage 7 basic facts test. I got 90%. I think I need to do better and get a 97 percent . I      got a 95 percent when i did this last term but i have dropped five percent. I think I need to quickly answer all    the factors of a number given. I would like to get a 90 percent in stage 8 but my highest in stage 8 is 62 percent  and im proud of that because stage 8 is very difficult.

Maths T2W9 / Rhombus

Walt: Identify and draw a rhombus.

Vocabulary: Parallel, rhombus, diagonal, angles, Matariki, stars, bisect, polygon, specialised, degrees, parallelogram, arrows, opposite, right angles

We had to use the seven stars of Matariki to draw a rhombus. A rhombus has a diagonal line coming down from each side. It also has 2 parallel lines that are opposite from each other. A rhombus is really easy to draw and identify. I am really sure that I will atleast get over 50 percent in a test with shapes now. Next I would like to learn how to draw other hard shapes.

Volume word problems

Today I did three different activities. They were all about volume. I found the first one really simple. They were all confusing but after reading the problem and understanding the problem it got much easier. To complete these activities you have to know your multiplications.
