Turning Fractions Into Pecentages

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about fractions and how to turn fractions into percentages and into decimals. What we had to do to turn a fraction into a decimal or a percentage is we had to times the denominator to whatever make 100 and then we had to times the numerator with how much we multiplied the denominator. Here is an example: 3/4 3x20=60 so the answer is 60% 5x20=100. I think that me and my group did really well on the screencastify. We should try and do a harder problem next time. Do you like my screen castify?
 This is our screencastify teaching other people how to turn a fraction into a percentage or a decimal. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QDkWbKdgc6Wd7wlRCHLMZSt9-y8ekFQ5/view

Sharing My Maths Eyes

Sharing my knowledge on my maths eyes
WALT identify maths in the world around us.
 What I noticed with my maths eyes on the gingerbread men was that they had different shades of skin tone on the gingerbread men. They also had different face styles and different hair styles. I also seen 3 rows with 4 gingerbread men and 4 row and 3 gingerbread men in. What can you learn from this? I can learn how to use my maths eyes. What did you try hard at today? I tried hard at trying to use my maths eyes on the gingerbread people. What do you see in this picture?


 

Mind Blowing Facts about Chromebooks

Kia ora I’m Dale and this blog post is about chromebook shortcuts. It will include all of the shortcuts on the chromebooks. We have been learning this in class. This post will make it easier for you to use your chromebook. I did really well on my presentation and I learnt a lot of things like how to duplicate things faster. It was hard trying to make the right arrows point at the right places on the slide. In the future I will use the shortcuts to make it easier for me. Is there anything I need to improve on my digital dig presentation?

Interesting Digital Dig

In Te Ngahere some of our students have been doing a digital dig.
A digital dig is where you go to do short cut for your Chromebook. The first thing we had to do was
make a copy of the doc and then we had to drag the arrows to
the keys in the right places. We were learning this because it is
easier to use and faster.

Technology

Last Wednesday all year 7 & 8’s went to Technology in Morewa. At Technology we were creating pewter jewelry. Pewter Jewelry is jewelry that you make with metal. You have to melt the metal on a hot flame in the pan. You then have to pour it between some wood to make the shape you are looking for. Put a hole through, tie a string through and knot it together. Then you are finished you are looking cool.

Technology

On Wednesday we went to technology at Moerewa School.
Technology is where us year 7 & 8’s go to do things like
woodwork and baking. Woodwork is where you go to learn about
how to use power tools and hand tools and you get to build things
out of wood. Baking is the class opposite woodwork and that is
where you got to learn how to bake things like cakes, cupcakes
and other things. At tech I created a necklace that looked like
maui’s hook but smaller. I can’t wait to go back to have more fun. 

Walk in the Bush

In Te Ngahere we have been trying to design our class to make it look like the bush so we went for a walk into the bush to get ideas for our class room. Once we got to the bush we had to scrub our shoes with the scupper so that we didn't bring any germs in to the bush that will kill all the plants and trees. In the bush we saw a lot of things like a river, trees, leaves, logs we even saw a tree growing on another tree so that we could get ideas for in class. We came back and started talking about it. I really wanted to go back into the bush to find more cool things.
