LI: To read the text, gather sort, graph and analyse the data

Our maths group created a diagram which shows the top six rivers in Auckland from smallest to largest. We used our collaborative skills to find out the data of each river. We put these rivers in this order from shortest to longest… We used our knowledge to come to the conclusion on what river is the longest out of the 6 rivers in Auckland, which is the Whau River, the Puhoi River, the Tamaki River, Waitakere River, Hoteo River, and the Wairoa River.

The rivers that go in order is the Whau River which is 6km, Puhoi River 13km, Tamaki River 15km, Waitakre River 16km, Hoteo River 28km, Wairoa River 65km. This the order is goes for the rivers in Auckland.

I enjoyed this activity because got to learn how long some rivers are in Auckland.

I learned new things about Antarctica.

First I had to research how siences survive antarctica. I found out that they survive the Antarctic because they have stations and bases in Antarctica also having in them things that are needed to survive. 

Next I had to research how long Antarctica has had sunlight. I found out that Antarctica has six months of sunlight and has the other six months of darkness.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to learn new things. I need to improve on summarising. I did well on researching.

I learnt how to measure temperature.

First I had to go on a google doc and measure temperature with addition or subtraction. Then Mrs White asked us a question, the question she asked was can temperature go below.

Next I had to make a DLO to explain what is temperature. I also had to research where the hottest place on the planet and where the coldest place on earth.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to learn temperature. I need to improve on researching. I did well on my temperature answers.

I did basic facts boxes.

I did addition in order for basic facts boxes. I did this in 4 minutes and 8 seconds. I used skip counting to figure out the answer.

I enjoyed this activity because . I need to imrpove on being faster on my addition. I did well because I already knew the answer.

Time can be measured in seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months, and years. There are differences between digital time and an analogue clock and digital clock. 

Analogue time is used to tell time also digital time. There are two hands on the clock. The long hand tells minutes, the hour hand tells the hours. A full day is 24 hours. PM stands for night and AM stands for day time. The time in words can be different when it is said. 

Digital time is on technology objects. For example, Chromebooks, Phones, and Ipads. 

There are different ways to tell time.

I did basic facts boxes in times tables.

My time was 3 minutes and 37 seconds. I did my basic facts boxes in times tables.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to do basic facts boxes in times tables. I need to improve on being faster on my times tables. I did well on getting the answers right.

I learned about perimeter.

First I learned the meaning of perimeter. The meaning of perimeter is measuring the outside of the area. You have to predict the metres or the cms of the area you are measuring. The area I was measuring was in metres because it was in a metre. For example: our class mat is measured in cm (centimetre). We measured our school field. The measurement for the school field is 201 metres. Our guess was 150.33 – 190 metres. We were 11 metres off.

Next I had to go to the google map. and try to figure out the right measurement. The measurement of the field is 100 metres. Our guess was also 100 metres.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to measure the outline of the field. I need to improve on trying to measure the right side. I did well on guessing the measurement.

I did basic facts boxes.

I did times tables for basic facts boxes. I got to do times table. I did this in 4 minutes and 8 seconds. I used skip counting to figure out the answer.

I enjoyed this activity because . I need to imrpove on being faster on my times table. I did well on using skip counting to figure out the answer.

I learned length.

First I learned the meaning of length. Length is something to measure the length of an object. I always measure from the longest side of the object. For example a book, the side of the book is the longest point so I measure from the longest point. 

Next I did the length of a book, pencil, white board, chair, table, tote tray, and an object of my choice. The length of the side of the book I did was 35 cm, from the longest side of the book. Also I remembered to measure from the start of the ruler.

I did basic facts boxes.

First I answered all the basic facts boxes. I got ony one answer wrong. I did it in 3 minutes and 21 seconds.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to do basic facts boxes. I need to imrpove on going slow for each answer. I did well on trying to get all the answers right.
