Maths Work

 Measurement 

This week we have been doing measurement for math and it is so much fun. Yesterday we made a paper ruler and we had to make it 1 metre long. We went outside with the meter ruler and 5 things. My 5 things were, a net ball pole what is 3.5 m, the friendship bench which was 2.0 and are pole which was 2.5 m and sadly that's all I got to do cause we ran out of time but , this is what you need and how to make it.

What you need:

A4 paper

A one meter ruler / something one meter

Scissors ( with parental supervision

Tape

Steps:

1. You have to fold the A4 paper in quarters on the long side

2. Then cut on the 3 lines that will be crested from folding

3. Once you have 4 skinny pieces of paper then you tape three of them together

4. Place those three next to the meter ruler and measure if it is as long as it.

5.  Lastly if it is too short or long then you can add more on to it or take off less.

Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits

❤ Hello, I have another blog for you and this week it's about STEM week and you're probably wondering what stem week is. Well it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, in this blog I am going to be sharing what we did. 

On Friday the Middle school and Senior school came together and did Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits which is basically where you go and make a google slide and you pick one educational game or site and then we have a little description and the instructions for what that game or site that it is.

The first toolkit that I went to was Brain Box and Brain Box is basically just this little kit that has a bunch of cool gadgets and part that makes a lot of cool things like Propellers, Fans, working light bulbs and even your own radio and much more but those are some of things I made. It was so fun.

My second activity was Music Lab that was really fun as well. All you do is find the address bar on your device and write Music Lab in and guess what it's completely free. So then you can just click on one of the items that you want to make music on and then go for it make your music. And last but not least it was Book Creator. I think it was the most fun toolkit out of all of them because you got to create your own book. It was amazing. Book Creator and also another online thing that will get your mind and your creativity to the next level. Again like Music Lab all you have to is type in Book Creator in your search bar and then it should come up saying the Creator and that first link you click on you're there and then there are heaps of cool gadgets and stuff that you can fiddle with and try .

After that really cool experience for the three Toolkits I'm feeling really glad and happy and I would like to do this again one year.
