Today for Maths my friend Ahasi and I decided to touch up on our knowledge on our Times tables. In our Maths books we took it upon ourselves to test us on how well we know our 3 – 12 times tables without any help. Together we accomplished our goals and in the end we were proud of the results. This was a good opportunity because next year I will be in college and it will come in handy.
For this week’s number talks we had discussed the different types of numbers. Starting with counting/natural numbers starting from 1 to infinte. The main thing we had focused on was integers. Integers are where you count both ways including negative and positive counting. 
Today for maths Team Tui had learned about probability through activities. The first rotation we had was a game called greedy pig. We had to roll a single dice for a number and had to add them up to 50 or more. If we had rolled a 1 we had to restart from 0 and go again. The second rotation was playing cards where we had a sheet of cards we had to pick up for example, a king, a card more than 3 e.g . The last rotation was flipping bottles. For this game we had to flip a water bottle and tally up our results into our success and failures.
This week for maths team tui are learning to identify different types of angles in a circle. We had used a protractor to help us draw the angles which we had found easy. When we had finished naming all the angles we used canva to create a poster so we can share our learning. In the end i had fun learning about the different angles that can be found in an angle .
This week for maths we are working around the topic of lengths or distances . For today we had decided to start off easy and measured a shapes perimeter. We had to join in a group of three and my group consisted of Mokoia, Pasimati and myself. For this we had to draw a shape that closed. To measure this shape we had used flax that was thin enough we can bend it around the curve. Once we measured the length we had ruled out the distance we had created. The measurement we had rounded up to was 34.5 cm and 345 mm.
This week Team Tui had been working with compasses this week. We had used the compass to create circles that soon had made art. Mr Raj
had given us an example on how we use the compass. Here is my example.
