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.

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.

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.

Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy. Hairy Maclary went down to G.I dairy. He waited for Mrs Ferry to buy a bunch of berries. She came out of the dairy looking quite scary. Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy went running to

Saint Mary. With tails in the air they trotted on down past the shops and the park to the far end of town. They sniffed at the smells and they snooped at each door, When suddenly, out of the shadows they saw Hairy Maclary and Saint Mary. They gathered there group and waddled on down to Mrs Ferry to see if she was at the dairy. They went on home to Mrs Ferry, and Hairy Maclary was finally home from donaldson's dairy.
