Mind Blowing Math

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to expand numbers and how to find the total value of a number. I was working with two fantastic girls Jade and Angela. They helped me understand the way to expand the numbers and to find the total value of a number. When I was learning to say a decimal number on the other side of the decimal point was half of a whole number. I was not able to understand when I had first moved groups because I didn’t know most of the math that we have been learning about until now thanks to Jade and Angela I am thankful to be in there learning group for math. I found it really interesting  learning something that I have learnt but had forgot everything that I had learned for the past. I have created a digital learning object to go with this post to help you with your learning in math. Do you know how to expand a number?

Not fun but crazy 4 minutes of following directions

 In Te Ngahere we just finshed doing a test to see if we can follow directions. We got our paper put  in front of us but we had to leave them facing down so we could not see the test because that was cheating. When the  4-minutes started we had to turn the paper around so the instructions are completely new to us. Our first direction was to read everything carefully before doing anything.  I did not understand that we had to read everything carefully before doing anything because  I didn’t follow that one instruction carefully because I did them as I was going along. I found this really difficult because I didn't even know that we were supposed to read ALL the directions carefully before doing anything. When we read everything we found out that we were only supposed to do questions 1 & 2.   It was frosting wheen we found out we only had to do questions 1 & 2 because I did things I didn’t need to do. Can you follow the directions in 4-minutes? 

                 

Crazy and Fantastic Technology

 Yesterday the year 7 and 8’s went to technology. Me and some other year 7’s had cooking and the year 8’s had woodwork. When we were in class we had to sanitize and wash our hands and take the chairs off  the table because we can not work when there are chairs on the table. When we finished taking the chairs off we had to get the flour, yeast, sugar, bowl,measuring spoons. We put two teaspoons of sugar in the bowl, then we also put two teaspoons of yeast  and the last thing that we had to put salt,milk powder and flour  in the yeast mixture and we had to put 1 tablespoon of oil in then we mixed. When we finished that we had to put one tablespoon of oil in the yeast and flour in and mix until we get a dough constancy. We had to flour table using a flour shaker and we had to flour our hands, then we had to knead the dough. The hard part for me was when I had to cut the onions, bacon, Garlic and cheese. We finished rolling out the dough then we had to put all the ingredients on to our pizza. When we finished we put the pizza in the oven and we left them in there for 20 minutes. When the pizza was done we could smell it. It smelt divine we pulled them out of the oven and we got to try them and they were amazing. Would you try this recipe yourself at home?
