Rags to Riches

Today for the middle block my group and I did a inference game. We did pretty well, as you can see we did complete it and won $1,000,00, however not in real life. All you have to do is answer 15 questions and every right answer you get the more money you get, but if you get it wrong then you have to start all over again with $200. My group and I really found this hard because we had to start again a lot of times but we did it and will improve more next time.

Monday Collaborative problem solving

\
Today for the morning session Jolie and I did a DLO on collaborative problem solving. We found this task pretty easy because Jolie and I were able to help each other and learn from one another. The problems were easy to us because we have a better understanding on what strategies to use to solve a multiplication,division,addition or subtraction problem.

Prototec 21.02.18


Today for maths my class and I did a prototec on timed. I am really happy on what I have got because I only got 1 wrong, so now I know how hard I will need to work to get 100%. Right now I am comfortable on Stage 7 but I know I can achieve more.

Prototec 20.02.2018










Today for maths my group and I did a prototec for the morning session, however I wanted to try something new. I did one prototec timed and another prototec with just the sheet. I wanted to compare my timed test and my sheet test so I can see if I will get the same score or a different score, and as you can see they were both different. I found this task pretty difficult mostly the timed test, but I know I can achieve my goal by paying attention in class and learning something new from other people.

Collaborative Problem Solving-DLO (Digital Learning Object)



WALT: solve word problems by using the best strategy we know

Today for the morning session my class and I did a DLO on our Collaborative Problem Solving. My partner and I found this task very difficult, because as year 8's we have to do more extreme and intense work. I think we can achieve this by being with different people to help us and teach new strategies we haven't learnt before.

Collaborative Problem Solving



WALT: solve word problems by using the best strategy we know
Today for the morning session my partner and I did a DLO on our Collaborative problem solving.
My partner and I found this task a bit hard but much more easier to understand at the end. I think Collaborative problem solving is important because it helps us to understand word problems and how to solve it, and the best thing is being in a group and learning from one another.

Expectations Graphics- Technology

Today for technology my group and I created a design on what our expectations are about graphics. As you can see my design was mainly made by a website called Toondoos.com. My design shows what I think Graphics is about. To me it is about Art,Shapes,Concentration,Hard work, and personality. I found this pretty hard, however I had to use my imagination which was the easy part.

Collaborative Problem Solving


WALT-solve word problems by using the best strategy we know.

I found this task easy because we were able to use the strategies we knew and also we had a bunch of people to help one another. I think I can improve by paying more attention in class during maths, and have a companion to help me.

Prototec 5/2/18

Today for the morning session, my class and I did a prototec. As you can see I got 85% on Stage 7 timed. I found this pretty hard, but I know I can do better in the future as I proceed to learn more. The most I struggled on was my percentages and fractions. I can improve by playing more math games, asking one of my family members for help or asking a friend.
