Investigating Pi w/ Mary Grace, Maia, Stephanie, Moe

Task Description: Yesterday, in Maths, Team Tui was learning about Pi. We did a small activity by measuring the Cylinder shapes with Pi.
How did we do it?

i. I measured the diameter using a Ruler.
ii. I measured the Circumference using a string.
iii. I divided the Circumference by the diameter.
iv. This result is called Pi.
v. The value is just over 3.

Maths Session w/ Teacher and Moe

Task Description: For our Teacher Maths Session today we had to Add and Subtract Fractions with related Denominators. Moe and I learnt about adding fractions and a ton of Shortcuts which we are very proud of. Such as, finding out which fraction is bigger. We found a shortcut taught by Ms Fonua.

Probability

TASK DESCRIPTION: Team Tui was learning about Probability for Maths. There were 3 activities relating to Probability: Greedy Pig, Bottle Flip and Cards. In Greedy Pig all you had to do was to roll the dice and if you get a number you would write it down in the squares but if you get number 1 you’d have to restart. Once you reach the end you must calculate everything. In Bottle Flip we would flip a bottle and have 10 turns each. After you must see if you have flipped it right or dropped it. If you did it right you put a line in the Success and if you didn’t, you’d have to put a line in failure. After that we would have to calculate the probability. In Cards, there was a screen that gave us a list of a specific card and there would be random covered cards on the table. We would have to uncover and see if it was a failure or a success.

SUFFIXES & PREFIXES FOLLOW UP

Task Description: Today for Writing, Team Tui were learning about Prefixes and Suffixes. What are they? Prefixes are words/letters placed before the word such as, (un)happy. Suffixes are words/letters placed after the word, such as, swimm(ing). Here is my information/tasks about Suffixes and Prefixes. Hope you learn more, enjoy.
