IXL Y8 – Learning Rational numbers

I did Ixl understanding Rational and Irrational numbers. In my opinion this was easier than I thought. I made sure that I read the questions and understood the answers. Rational numbers are numbers that you can write as fractions so then from that piece of information I was able to get my answers which majority of them were correct !

Cybersmart

In our class when doing cybersmart we must finish tasks from the previous weeks before moving onto the next ones. This week I finished my Managing Bookmarks task. I had to compare my old bookmarks bar to my now bookmarks bar. I first deleted all the bookmarks from the previous years and the ones I don’t use anymore. I then cleaned it up by puting it in folders which makes my bookmarks bar look much more cleaner. Check out my Amazing work!

Cybersmart

This week for Cybersmart we learnt how to screen cast. Our instructions were to firstly link in our class site. Then we had to screencast and take a tour of our class site. If I were to rate how easy it is to use I would rate it 10/10. Now I know I can screencast whenever and wherever I want (right site right times only).

Maths W3 T1

For Maths this week we had to enlarge a shape. My chosen shape was Diamond. I had a scale factor of 2, a scale factor is how many times you would enlarge the shape by. I started of by measuring the sides with a ruler, each side turned out to be exactly 3.5 cm long. I then doubled those numbers making it 7 cm on each side. My shape turned twice as big as it was before. I then wrote how many original diamonds would fit into my enlarged version, 4 diamonds can fit into my enlarged version. I then lastly learnt that parallel means lines will never meet.

Cybersmart W7 T4

This week for Cybersmart we had a task called Cybersmart Vocab, We had to complete two simple tasks, A word search and we had to match the description. I found this Cybersmart Task fun. My favorite part was the word search. I was also able to learn more about smart money and smart smurfing. If you haven’t already, Check out my completed slides!

Monday Maths W7

Today for maths I decided to revisit my algorithm. I did addition because I haven’t done it in a while. Seems that I am still able to solve higher number of addition using algorithm. I really hope that I can be able to solve subtraction using algorithm aswell. Check out the work I did today!

Maths W4

Today for maths, my maths group and I learnt about adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators. A tip Mrs Fonua gave was that the denominator must be the same before adding or subtracting. First we had to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator). Second we found multiples, for example 2/8 x3 6/24. Then we do the same thing for the next fraction. Lastly you add the numerators but keep your denominators the same!

Island Breeze

On 27th of October Glen Taylor School had the opportunity of a lifetime, the Island Breeze team performed for us. It was so gracious and beautiful. My favorite part of the performance was when they did their Hawaiian dance. It was their first performance. They taught us that we are all different in beautiful ways. That touched my heart. We all had so much joy in our heart. Lesley and I got to hug one of the members of the team. We said thanks and hoped her team goes well. I really hope the rest of their journey goes smoothly!
