Is there a problem?

This week during Maths, we are learning to find the appropriate strategy to solve each word problem, solve problems that involve multiplication and division, and use equations to express a problem. Appreciate that tens are nested in hundreds and thousands and use that knowledge to rename whole numbers. We had to learn how to find the appropriate strategy to solve each word problem, solve problems that involve multiplication and division and use equations to express a problem. We were also looking into renaming the whole numbers to make the addition and subtraction of collections of tens or hundreds easier. It was really easy to do so me and my friend got it done really fast.

My maths group worked on some really easy maths problems, which I finished really fast. It was really fun and easy for me and my friend, we answered all the questions and showed how we did it. We tried to find out different ways to solve them. It was really fun because all we had to do was just solve the number of questions. What I had to do was answer 8 word problems and show my working out. After I completed the task I had to post it. These word problems were really easy. Expect the last slide my friend got stuck on and was so confused,  so I had to help her on it. She said “the last slide (8) was really tricky to divide the numbers so I tried my very best to find an answer for the question but I couldn’t” so I helped her out.

My quote of the day: It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with word problems longer

I don’t have a highlight today because I had a writing test today and I wasn’t feeling well at all during it which led me to not be able to think straight or write. My lowlight was having to find out new methods to solve a problem because I usually use the same methods to do my work. Something to work on for this week is finding out new strategies to solve each problem. It was really easy though because most of the questions require division and I’m good at division. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on my blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed.

KPMG

Many of the world’s most important organisations are served by KPMG which provides audit, tax and consultancy services. KPMG is one of the most prominent professional services firms in the world. The multinational professional services network and one of the Big Four accounting firms, together with Ernst & YoungEY, Deloitte and PwC, is KPMG International Limitedor simply KPMG. Did you know that KPMG stands for Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler. For the benefit of all New Zealanders, they do what matters at the heart of the values and culture of KPMG, and their purpose is to support the prosperity of New Zealand. They promote and support the efforts by their people to give back in their communities, of which volunteering, fundraising and leadership are a part, along with an important proportion of pro bono work that makes a positive impact on various nonprofit organisations and charities.

The KPMG workers had been nice enough to offer our school a trip to the KPMG building. We spent a whole day with them and got a tour of the building and each of the levels of the block. As we learnt about technology and how you can use coding to create things that make sounds of all kinds with a little bit of foil, paper, and your imagination. We started off with the tour but our group made it back before the others so we sat in one of the KPMG rooms with one of the helpers. We got to get to know her better and share our own life and things like that. It was really fun and she was really sweet. By the time we finished our conversation the other groups were back and we had an amazing morning tea provided by KPMG.

Next we did the project KPMG had prepared for us to do with them. They gave us a bunch of different coloured paper, pens, pencils, etc… We had to use them to design a monster or a drawing with our imagination, we had the ability to design anything we wanted. After that we had to cut out pieces of our drawings and add foil behind it. Using the foil on our drawings we could code the drawing to say things. We had to connect our chromebooks to the paper and foil using wires that KPMG provided for us to use.

We’re so thankful for everything they did for us such as how hard they worked to put together morning tea and lunch for us and we appreciated that very much. We loved our time there and hope to go back there soon and learn a bunch of new things with the amazing KPMG crew. The KPMG members got to volunteer to spend the day with us and so many of them did which gave us such a good feeling. THANK YOU KMPG!!!

We were also looking into renaming the whole numbers to make the addition and subtraction of collections of tens or hundreds easier. It was really easy to do so me and my friend got it done really fast.

The questions were about fruits and how much you’ll get or how much it costs. I really loved this task so much, I’ve learnt so much from this task. Learning new things is really tricky because you don’t get the pattern. My maths group worked on some really easy maths problems, which I finished really fast. It was really fun and easy for me and my friend, we answered all the questions and showed how we did it. We tried to find out different ways to solve them. It was really fun because all we had to do was just solve the number of questions.

Something to work on for this week is finding out new strategies to solve each problem. It was kinda tricky because some questions require division and I am not good at division. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed.

My highlight was learning new things and having a go at this task today which was really easy to do as I enjoyed doing it a lot.

I had a really good maths session again and I loved how me and my friends shared our ideas with each other so I don’t have a low light from today’s maths lesson. As I said before it was a good maths lesson and I don’t have anything to work on today. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog.

Stage 7 – Word Problems


Task description: This week during Maths, we are learning to finding the appropriate strategy to solve each word problem, solve problems that involve multiplication and division, and use equations to express a problem. My maths group worked on some stage 7 word problems. It was really fun and easy for me but my friend said it was really confusing and hard at first but I answered all the questions and showed her how I did it and that helped her a lot and she started to try and find out ways to solve them.

She was really close to giving up but I told her “Maths can sometimes be really tricky, but that doesn’t mean you give up, what I mean by this is you gotta give it a couple tries before being perfect at it and it can takes some time to solve it but the more you try the closer you’ll get,” and that seem to help her a lot which was kinda my highlight for me maths today. One thing I really love about today’s maths work is that you get to make your own question that you can give to your friends to try and figure out. 

My highlight was being able to solve all the problems really fast even though my friend was stuck on it for a bit. I had a really good maths session again and I loved how me and my friends shared our ideas with each other so I don’t have a low light from today’s maths lesson.

Word Problems

Task description: This week during Maths, we are learning to finding the appropriate strategy to solve each word problem, solve problems that involve multiplication and division, and use equations to express a problem. My highlight was being able to solve the first question even though our group was stuck on it for a bit and showing my group how I did it. I had a really good maths session and I loved how well our group shared their ideas with each other so I don’t have a low light from today’s maths lesson. As I said before it was a good maths lesson and I don’t have anything to work on today. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog.

Media Detective


Task description: This week during Cybersmart, we are learning about Smart Media, and the question of, What is Media? Learn how to figure out what a piece of media is all about. Ask questions to understand who made it, why it was made, and if it’s something they can trust.

For this challenge we learned about “Smart Media”. That is, being Cybersmart when consuming or creating media. To start off, as a class we had to chat through a presentation, and watch a youtube video. After that it was time to be a “Media Detective” so get out our critical magnifying glass and have a look at these pieces of media. We are going to think about the purpose for why they have been created.

High light was being able to understand my work and learning about Smart Media, low light not being able to do faster because I got busy with other things. Some thing I can work on spending less time on the task and working faster.

After that we completed the task, we posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

POV: You’ve won 2 million dollars

Congratulations! You have won 2 million dollars. What would you do with the money?

 

I have thought about this before so I’ve planned it out based on my life and things happening in it, so firstly I would spend $1140000 dollars on a house from my 2 million dollars and that would leave me with $860000 dollars left to save or spend, but I’m gonna spend.

 

Next I would half my $860000 dollars and put $430000 dollars on my card which I would save and slowly use over the next couple of years to pay off the payments for the house and buy things like furniture for the house I bought, which I’m gonna keep on my oldest sisters name until I’m 18 and can legally own a property of my own name

 

After that I’d use the other $430000 dollars to help my parents pay off the mortgage and pills and let’s say that’s around $10000 dollars, I would have $420000 dollars left I would give 1000 to my sisters each, which would leave me with $418000 dollars. 

 

So then I would give $5000 dollars to my parents each for them to spend on themselves and buy whatever they need or want. Leaving me with $408000 dollars. 

 

Next I would give $10200 dollars for zakat because 2.5% of 408000 is 10200. But the reason I’m gonna give that money for zakat is because zakat is the third pillar of Islam. It’s a donation that Muslims regard as a mandatory act within their faith. Followers of Islam who have at least a minimum amount of wealth are required to give 2.5% of their liquid assets away to charity each year. Zakat’s are usually given to people in need. Also it’s considered a good deed in my religion and if you have ever committed a sin, by giving zakat you are giving back for that and making up for your wrongdoing.

 

After that I would have $397800 dollars left and from that I would also give 7800 for sadaqah jariyah which literally translates from its original Arabic as “flowing,” or “running” (jariyah) “charity” (sadaqah), meaning charity that one gives in life that continues to provide charitable benefit to its elected donee and, therefore, divine reward to its giver, after its donor passes away from this life. Sadaqah Jariyah is considered an act of kindness that continues to give long-term or after you have left this world. are usually given to people in need. 

 

After all of that I would have $390000 dollars left, and with that I would send half of the $390000 meaning $195, 000 dollars to Fiji to help my family pay bills and do anything else they need, such as renovation or paint jobs. And to get help with medical care because my nan is sick.

 

After all of that I would have $195,000 dollars left. Using that I would buy weekly groceries for the next 7 years because 195,000/365 = 534.24(2dp) and that’s how much groceries usually cost in my household. And I divided 195,000 by 365 because there are 365 weeks in 7 years. But if anything ever happens and there is an emergency or anything like that I can use that money as well.

 

And that is everything I would do if I won 2 million dollars!

 

Task description: This week during Writing, our task was to complete 2 free choice activities. My first task was to write a rhyming poem about something gross like farts and my second one was saying what would you do with the money if I won 2 million dollars. This is my second free choice activities, and to be honest, I wouldn’t go on a shopping spree or anything, I would use the money to help my family and to help random people in need.

My highlight was writing all my reasoning behind the things I would do with the money and seeing how much you could do with 2 million dollars. This task was really fun and I enjoyed every bit of it so I don’t really have a lowlight for it but maybe next time I will. I don’t have anything to work on this week either because I’m really proud of myself and how I’ve done this week. I hope to do more like this soon because it was really fun. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you! Bye~

A Slimy thing…

A Slimy thing…

A Poem By: Zaria Khan

 

A slimy slug, a slimy snail,

A slimy thing that’s sure to fail

To make you smile, to make you laugh,

It’s sure to make you want to take a bath

 

A slimy frog, a slimy toad,

A slimy thing that’s sure to goad

To make you cringe, to make you squirm,

It’s sure to make you want to squirm and squirm

 

A slimy bug, a slimy fly,

A slimy thing that’s sure to die

To make you gag, to make you puke,

It’s sure to make you want to take a look

 

A slimy worm, a slimy grub,

A slimy thing that’s sure to rub

To make you sick, to make you ill,

It’s sure to make you want to take a pill

 

Task description: This week during Writing, our task was to complete 2 free choice activities. My first task was to write a rhyming poem about something gross like farts. I did mine on slimy things such as bugs, flys, frogs, worms, toads, slugs, snails etc. I choose to do my poem on such things because when I think of something gross that’s what comes to my mind. It was really fun trying out new creative and weird words to use in my poem.

My highlight was writing my poem because it was really funny and it was a weird topic to write a poem on. My lowlight was trying to figure out what words would fit in the poem. I don’t have anything to work on this week because I’m really proud of myself and how I’ve done this week. I hope to do more like this soon because it was really fun. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you! Bye~

Blog commenting

Task description: This week during Writing, our task was to write a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment on 5 peoples blogs in our literacy class. For me, looking at all my friends’ posts was fun and seeing how they were going with their learning, but what I loved even more was writing them a comment. And my reasoning for this is I feel like when someone shows their appreciation and interest towards your work it makes you feel good inside and happy that people care about your learning and how you’re doing. It also motivates you to do better and try your best next time, and I feel like this because personally when someone compliments me or leaves me a positive comment I feel like I did well and that I should be proud of myself.

For my 5 people to comment on, I chose to do 5 of my friends. These peoples names being, Tumanako, Mary, Swaimah, Rylan and Elijah. Not gonna lie this task was really fun and I really hope we do more like this soon because we don’t usually comment on each other’s blogs so it’s nice to spread a bit of kindness once in a while. One thing I found hard was choosing whose blogs I wanted to comment on because most of my friends are in my class so that was probably my only lowlight for this task but the rest was really fun and interesting. Something I loved was how each person I picked had something different on their blogs and they had a good task description telling us what they did and how they found it.

My highlight was finishing the task really fast because it was really easy. My lowlight was probably trying to think of who’s blogs to choose to comment on and what task to comment on as they were all really good. Something I’ll work on next time is trying to add more details to the comments and to give them some feedback/ideas, but I found that a bit hard this time because all the tasks were so good and didn’t have anything to work on. But besides all of that I don’t have anything I want to work on this week for writing, but anyways I enjoyed doing literacy a lot today, and if I’m being honest it was the easiest work I’ve had so far this term. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you! Bye~
