Muriwai’s Maths Learning Story



Manusiu has 20 metres of material to make some tupenu for her
family. Each tupenu needs 1.5 metres of material. 
How many can she make?
In our maths groups, we talked about this problem and my group
and I thought that it might have to multiply in it so when we took the
the pen we started thinking about how we could solve the maths
problem.
First, my group wrote 1.5x4=6 then 1.5x5=7.5 and we were trying to
find out the answer but it was too slow then I remembered that you can
multiply it by 10 to get an answer faster we wrote 1.5x10=15.
Then there were 5 metres of material left so we wrote 1.5x3=4.5 and
we put 4.5+15=19.5 and the answer was 13 because that was how much
tupenu we could make.
Reflection
I was good at thinking because I was good at recording my ideas
that got my group out of the pit and boosted our ideas. I was also
good at not distracting my group and not distracting other groups.

My next steps are managing myself because some of the time was
wasted by me thinking instead of me recording my 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.
