Stastistical Investagation

Today I worked with Peyton and we worked in pairs to investagate what LS2's favourite colour was and we predict only a little amount of people would chose blue because a lot of people would start to say a differentt colour.

Maths strategy (Lasagne)

 L.I: To explain how we solved out maths equations.

For Maths we worked in mixed math groups to practice our team skills and to help us explain how we solved these word problems. The topic of these word problems were about Metric Measurements, which was more specifically about weight and mass. The word problem was about the ingredients and the weight of these ingredients. We had to find the weight of the missing ingredient by adding up the weight of the ingredients we knew, and subtracting it from the weight of the whole food.

Problem Solving with Tangrams

LI: To explore problem solving

LS2 and LS1 were make tangrams by working together. We listened to the instructions and made a tangram puzzle with a piece of paper and pair of scissors. When we finished we used our problem solving skills and asked our friends questions to find the solution. Our challenge was to make a square with the shapes then make an animal. It was fun.
