Maths Reflection

1. Thing I've learnt is you need to have roles before you go up and present your work.

1. Thing I need to work on is cooperation in my group.

Skill/s I have used in my problem solving group is addition subtraction division and times.

After presenting our Group Math Problem solving slideshows and our own Reading Journal slideshows I learnt that: I needed to change the colour of the text cos it was hard to read.

1 thing that was good about my presentation was: How it was laid out.

1 thing I found hard about my presentation was: Making the numbers 

1 thing I need to improve on is: Making the text easier to read

What I have learnt about Tupaia

I learnt these facts about Tupaia.
Tupaia was Polynesian star navigator and part of the HMS Endeavour's first voyage.

Tupaia came from a Polynesian island, Raiatea French Polynesia that James Cook stayed at then parted with Tupaia.

Tupaia was most known for his skills for navigation being by Lt. James Cook as navigational guide on the latter's famous first voyage of discovery in HM Bark Endeavour.

The reason Tupaia was in New Zealand was because of the voyage of the Endeavour.

what happened to Tupaia? Well first he got scurvy because of the lack of vitamin C and then he died of pneumonia and Dysentery.

I found that the sailors on the Endeavour tried to help Tupaia but he refused to take the scurvy pills and that James Cook named places that already had names.

Maths problem solving

Today 14th of the 8th of 2019 my maths group did a problem and presented our work to the class.
The problem said:

Tukutuku panels can be made from wooden rods (kaho) with cross stitches (tuinga), often using many colours.

The kaokao is a traditional tukutuku design that symbolises the strength of a warrior.

Imagine you continued this pattern until there were 8 kaho. How many tuinga would there be? My group found that the answer was 26 crosses or tuinga.

What if there were 18 kaho? The answer is 66.  What if there were 38 kaho? The answer is 146 we found that out by our strategy.

Find a way to calculate the number of tuinga needed for any number of kaho.


And if you look at the picture above you will see the t-chart that my group made and the towers of cross stitches and we start at 3 rods on the t-chart and 6 tuinga (crosses), we did that because there is 6 crosses on the 3 rods and then added 1 rod and 4 crosses as showed in the middle design and the smaller one by having 3 rods and 6 crosses then 4 rods and 10 crosses cos 6+4=10 then so forth +1 rod= +4 crosses.

I hope that you have found this helpful and I'm sorry if you've found it hard to read.

Things about school

One thing that I have learnt in school that is helpful is cooking cos I now know how to cook more things.

 <- French toast

One thing that I want to improve is my reading so I can read faster.

 <- The book I'm reading

The one thing that I have learnt this term is cooking cos it's so fun and I get to eat things when I cook them.
