Task Description: Yesterday in the morning for maths, we learnt about pi! First, we had to measure the circumference using some string, then we measured the diameter using a ruler. We divided the circumference by the diameter on our chrome books and the result is called pi. The value of pi is just over 3.
Task Description: For reading yesterday, the Monday “Must do” said to do 2 activities from these word work slides. These are the two activities I did!
Task Description:
Yesterday for maths, we did it in the assembly hall! We were playing probability games, probability is how likely something will happen. We were split into three groups so that there would be rotations for the games. Everyone also got a paper to record their success and their failure for each game.
The first game for the group I was in was greedy pig. Greedy pig is rolling a die and you get points for what number you rolled. However, if you roll a one, you have to restart from 0 points again. I think it was the most difficult game for me, I had to restart 4 times and I only got 39 points at the end before the rotation ended. If you got 50 points you could get a lolly but I only had 39.
The next rotations were playing cards and bottle flip. For the playing cards I aimed for no picture cards, and my success was 25 and the failure was 15. For bottle flip, my success was 6 and my failure was 30.
Task Description: For writing, we learnt about prefixes and suffixes! A prefix is a word/part of a word that goes before a root word and it changes the root words meaning. For example: happy and unhappy. A suffix is a word/part of a word that goes after a root word and also changes the meaning. Like: do and doing.
Task Description: Today for maths, we learnt about graphs and statistics. We also learnt how to use google sheets to create graphs. The images above are graphs of future options for Year eights.
