Muriwai’s Maths Learning Story
The story in the problem is about percentages and decimals
Rylee wants to find out how many students at Corinna School would like to do an activity involving skateboards and bikes in their lunchtimes. She sends a survey to 205 students
. The survey results come back to her as percentages.
How many students want to do each activity?
Activity
Percentage
Number of students
Bike track
40%
82
Skatepark
60%
123
We have been learning about percentages and decimals and in maths
In maths I wrote a number line then I drew 100 percent and 50
percent and 50 percent was 102.5 I was trying to work out 10
percent to work out 40 and 60 percent I knew 10 percent would be
a decimal I worked out 10 percent and it was 20.5 then the two
answers I got were 82 and 123
When I was figuring out this problem I was taking a risk Listening to
other peoples ideas when I was stuck


The next time I try to solve a problem I will try to share my ideas to
my group and work with people I don’t usually work with and try
to stay focused
I am good at writing what we used on the board and sharing it
with the class and I'm good at fractions and percentages.
I need to work on asking for the pen when I have ideas.

Workshop Reflection

Workshop Reflection When I was with Fritz we played a few games. Our first game was writing the meaning of teamwork, we each had a turn to write our  ideas down. My word was the word happy because I thought when  you are helping each other people we would be happy about it. In our  second game, we had to go into the shape of a circle while we held each other's hands and listened to what the teacher wanted us to do . The first thing the teacher told us to do was to move inwards then  outward. After that, we played a game called tic tac toe. We had to place a bib in a spot where the cones were the cones shaped as nine little squares. Once it's placed you run back to your teammates as  quickly as possible to touch them so it can be their turn and the first  team that scores three in a line is the winner. My favorite was tic tac toe because I knew I was good at it. My team won the first round but we lost in the last round.

Muriwai's Reading Learning Story My book is called Al Capone and it was written by Alan MacDonald and illustrated by Phillip Reeve. My book is nonfiction and I liked my book because it was interesting and it told facts and true stories about what happened ages ago to the main character Al Capone. And I liked that they told about his whole life like when he became famous. Whenever I go to the library and I need to choose a book I look at the chapter books and I always make sure that I read the blurb before I read the book. Reflection When I was reading this book I was good at inferring what was going on in the story and I was good at analyzing and synthesizing by locating important information. My next steps are to find somewhere comfortable to sit where there are no distractions so I can read and I want to be able to evaluate information.
