Long Multiplication DLO

Kia Ora

We are learning to find out how to solve long multiplication and the easiest way to simplify it.

For this DLO my partner and I had just done a workshop based on what is long multiplication. What we had to do was that we had a choice on what workshop we wanted to do. I picked the long multiplication workshop because I figure that that subject is not the easiest and also that there will be many hard and long math questions. For the workshop we learned a couple of normal long multiplication questions such as 311 x 15. We knew what to do because we got taught to carry the one after multiplying it by 5 then soon after we have to multiply it by ten.

Have you ever learned about Long multiplication.

Pasifika Flooding

Kia Ora

We are learning to find out what are natural disasters and the cause behind it.

For this Google Doc I had to do a set of slides where I had to choose a image. The reason behind choosing an image was because later on  we had to do a report writing about what has happened. My image was sadly in Tuvalu what I mean is that my image that I am doing a report on is about villages and islands in Tuvalu getting flooded due to water rising. How I wrote my report was by looking at a photo which told me the structure on how to write a report.  Soon after we had to start off with a general state followed by four paragraphs which gave information about the flooding happening in Tuvalu.

Have you ever learned about natural disasters?

Reading Response

Kia Ora

We are learning to find out about the Nile delta and the Mediterranean sea.

For this slide show I had to research about the Nile delta and what was happening with it. I found a lot of information about the Nile Delta because we already knew some stuff because there was also a little book with texts filled with information. The little book helped us a bit because we found out new words and also the things that are good and bad about it. After finding some information about the Nile Delta we had to do some extra research such as finding how far the Mediterranean sea is from the Nile Delta and also China.

Suffix -Phobia

Kia Ora

We are learning to match the definition to the suffix.

For this DLO I had to do the weekly choice and today I had picked to match the definition to the suffix. This DLO is based on the different phobia that we had given to us as a present. The preset was just matching the definition to the word that had “-Phobia”. I liked this work because personally I only ever knew three of the suffixes that were on the DLO. Next time I think I should add some more words that end with -Phobia because there were at least 4 words that I knew but weren’t on the DLO.

What words do you know that end with “-Phobia”.

Inquiry Launch – Water Set

Kia Ora

We are learning to discover reasons on why natural disasters happen?

For this slide show I had to do a inquiry launch about natural disasters. What I had to do was first have to get a slide show and I had to pick at least two.  The two that I picked were very interesting to me because one of them was from Tuvalu and too see a place where I’m from looking like that makes me very annoyed. The second slide was about a house full of snow caused by a avalanche. Me personally I have never seen snow but to see snow looking like it destroys houses makes me not want to get close to snow. Not only did I learn what caused floods and avalanches but also learned about other natural disasters and the damage that they cause.

Have you ever been through a natural disaster?

Prefix Bi-

Kia Ora

We are learning to match and find the definitions of these prefixes.

For this DLO I had the option to choose between list and define or match and define. The choice that I had picked was the list match and define. Why I had picked this choice was because each time I do the match and define I always learn new words and the meaning is what I like the most. The match and define work is very cool because I learnt words such as bilingual and biped. This was very helpful because not only did I like the work but these new words that I learned are very interesting.

Have you ever done prefixes?

 

Report Writing

Kia Ora

We are learning to see what is a report Writing and what is the structure.

For this DLO I had to show an example of what is a report Writing to me. After researching a little bit I had gotten enough information to know what is in the report Writing and just to see the structure. After looking at the structure I had an idea to show it as a cycle because it is from the start to the ending. Where I got the cycle idea was from the previous DLO’s that I had done so I figured this would’ve been a good time to use it. Where we got an example was from some of these book journals. These book journals had some structure of a report writing at the end of the page. This was very helpful because now I knew that the book would be some kind of inspiration of what is a report writing.

Idioms

Kia Ora 

We are learning to find out new idioms and to match the definitions.

For this slideshow I had to find out these idioms then find out the definitions to match it. What I had to do was match the definitions to the idiom. Most of these idioms were pretty obvious because there were already words on top but just had to see where it belonged. These idioms were not challenging but confusing because some of these idioms didn’t make sense to me but then soon after I had searched for the meaning then everything made sense. I liked this work because even if it doesn’t make sense I could still get to learn some of these new idioms.

What idioms have you learned?

Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu

Kia Ora

We are learning to comment on other schools.

For this map I screenshot my class and I had gotten two schools that we had to comment on. Why we had to do this is because as a class we practised commenting on each other’s blog so that we would be ready to comment on other schools. This was very interesting because this screenshot was just about how far the schools were from each other. As you can see the first two schools Edmund Hillary School and Glen Innes School were just about 30 – 40 minutes away then at the bottom left you can see one of the other schools. That school was called Paroa School which was located in grey mouth. That school for me was very interesting considering that we will be commenting on a school that is on the south island.

Have you ever commented on a school blog?

Family Of Factors – Division

Kia Ora

We are learning to find the family of factors between division and multiplication.

For this DLO my group and I were a division workshop where we had to find different and easier ways to answer these division questions. One of the ways that we learned how to answer division problems is family of factor’s. Family of factors was one of the easiest ways because if you know that 5 x 2 is 10 then the other way around would always be the same answer. It is the same as well with division because if it is 10 divide 2 it would be 5 because it is just 5 x 2 backwards. We were working in a group of four so we finished this DLO, This DLO was mainly just our examples of family of factor’s and our way that we did it.
