3D Shapes

Today for maths we made 3D shapes. We first started with a coloured net. A net is flat piece of paper and if you fold it properly it makes a 3-D shape.and then we cut it out and stuck it into the proper shape. I made a cone and a cylinder. 

Maths Week

This week is Maths Week. During the week we did lots of fun maths games and my favourite was called the maths chaser. The maths chaser is a game where you have to answer questions and get down a ladder before the chaser does. One website we used during the week was mathsweek.co.nz. I really enjoyed maths week this year.

Graphs

A few weeks ago we learned about bar graphs. First our teacher told us what they look like, how you draw them and what information is better to put on a bar graph and what information is better to put on a pie graph. After we had learnt everything we got in groups of three and did a graph. My group did our graph on the class's favourite foods. This is our graph.

The Problem Solving Challenge

This Year a whole bunch of  students did the problem solving test, including me.

It was difficult but it was good to take the challenge and complete the test in only 30 minutes!

M&M Challenge

Last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we did the M&M challenge. The class got into groups with one leader in each group. Miss Down gave us some M&M’s and we had to count how many we had and next figured how much M&M’s our group had. After we found out how many M&M’s we all had many people realised that some people had a very small amount of M&M’s while others had about 50. The next thing we did was counting how much of red we had then blue then yellow until we had finished all the colours we had. When we did everything Miss Down told us to share all the M&M’s equally with our group and everyone in the class got 41 M&M’s each! We have put our information on a poster.

Statistics

In room 6 maths class we have been doing stastical investigations. First we learnt about Stem and leaf graphs and did fun investigations on sports. We also learnt how to make graphs on Excel. We learnt how to make pie graphs and different types of bar graphs. Below are some of the graphs I made on Excel.

Maths posters

In room 6's math class we made maths posters. After we did bookwork we presented it on a poster.
