aluminum boats

This morning, Mr Wood gave us a task (whoa). In a group of three, we had to design and construct a 'boat' that will hold the most glass beads out of everyone. 

Jessie, Wyatt and I got into a group and started coming up with designs. In the end, we decided to use jessies design of a canoe looking boat. Of course, the end product looked NOTHING like what we had planned. Instead it looked like a stand-up taco shell! 

Everyone got to vote for the boat they thought would work best, then we put them into the water and add beads in. The most successful boat (ss brainboat) only had 1 vote but held 70 beads. Our group was second (hms taco) with 47 beads.

names, votes and scores

Everyone was then sent off to redesign, using either ss brainboat or hms taco as they're example (trying to make the designs work better i guess). 

Our first boats bottom was flat, like... an open cup?? so we changed that so the bottom was bowl like. 

The second go we only got 40, but that could've been because the beads were wet. 

It was lots of fun, and the first boats were the funniest.

Angles! (and a bit of mathsbuddy)

This week, we have been focusing on Angles. We had to do a slide that has lots of angle tasks. We also watched a video together as a class, and I think it really helped, though the transitions were quite funny~ (> ^ <)/\(> w <)


Billie-Jean, Angelina and I made a few videos for our tasks. Here is one of the videos! Her channel here ~(OwO)~

I also did some Mathsbuddy tasks. On one of them, I got 80%. I'm going to try again sometime and aim for 100%.

Maths Buddy
For maths buddy this week, I did 2 set tasks and also I did a action plan DLO about addition with fractions. I made two videos, but I'm only going to show one. Here are my results and video!







Problem Solving
This week we also had to do some problem solving. Here two of the problems I solved.

T4 W5 | Numeracy Reflection

Problem Solving

For numeracy, we did problem solving. Here are the slides I finished. It was hard to figure some out, but there were also easier ones.My favorite one out of the three will be Basketball Caps. Here is my work. You can click the pictures to make them bigger.

Recreate This
This week we also did an activity where we look at a picture and we have to recreate it from memory. Here is what Anna, Heidi and me did.

Numeracy T4 W4

Numeracy

This week for numeracy, we have been focusing on our problem solving. We had to finish at least 4 activities on the problem solving slide.  I finished 4 of them. here is my work.

It was a bit hard to figure out some of them, but I finished five the end.
