Probability Slides

WALT: Calculate the probability of the event happening.

This week I wrote my description in it's own blog post. You can read if you want. It below this post.

Probability Reflection

WALT: Calculate the probability of an event happening.

Task: Write a reflection about this weeks maths. 

This week we learnt about probability. I have learnt that probability is actually helpful. It could be helpful when trying to figure out the Weather. Almost everyday you use probability to plan around the weather. Meteorologists don't know what the weather will be. Because of that they use tools and instruments to find out the chance that it will rain, snow or hail. Example; if there's a 70-percent chance of hail, then conditions of the weather are such that 70 out of 100 days with similar conditions, it has hailed. Maybe you'll take a raincoat rather than a singlet or just an umbrella to work/school. I think that my goal this week was to follow the WALT. That's what I have done. I calculating the probability of an event happening. Such as the coin toss (you'll find it in the presentation). An event such as the coin toss was calculated by it's probability.

Scratch Game Term 2

Today we had extension class. This term our focus is based around technology. Some people are in the middle of making a game. My group just started making the game so we have to catch up a bit. We have started our first level. It's supposed to be a maze in mars. Here's what it looks like.

Thats only our first level. There is two more levels to come. I can't wait to finish it off and start playing it. My partner is Moroni. We are trying to make our game better and better. 

Reading Diagram and Probability

WALT: Interpret information from different graphs.

Last week in maths I finished off this presentation. Basically each slide asks questions about the picture to the side. Read and answer was the instructions. I found this presentation not to be a learning thing but a reminder. A reminder of last year and past week's knowledge.

Making Clever Clothes & Keeping Houses Warm and Cool

WALT: Evaluating - I gather, and synthesise to evaluate information across a range of texts.

This week we had two main texts. They were about making clever clothes and keep houses warm and cool. One thing I found interesting, was the job of the man that made the clever clothing. He was a technologist. I really wanted to research more about that. I did just that. What I found out was that a technologists job is to help with development, design of application of engineering and technology.

Statistics

WALT: Interpret information from different graphs.

This week in maths we learnt about statistics. I was surprised that I remembered many words. On Wednesday I wrote definitions for all of the words that I know. I wrote it down on paper and now that paper has disappeared. Writing that down had to be the highlight of this presentation. One more thing I remembered was the stem and leaf graph. When I was doing it, I really wanted to do it again. Next week I hope to do another stem and leaf graph (probably won't). 

Home Learning Week 2

This week's task: Maths focus (as this was the most popular choice from our recent survey!)

This week I really wanted to do my home learning. I kept forgetting about it so I just posted it on a Sunday. One thing I thought I really need to work on is maths whizz. Its not looking very well. I guess this week I can boost my minutes up. My goal for this week is to have more than 50 minutes of maths whizz.
