Comment Thread | Open & Closed questions

In our commenting session we created a response to room 4's comment.

First, we made a Google Document which included our comment that we were making. We needed to include the structure of a comment which is greeting, positive feedback and a question. We replied to the two questions room 4 asked us.

After that, we created closed questions then we made them into open questions. Next, we picked the one we liked better.

We created a reply to the question. Then we structured the comment. We put together the greeting, the positive feedback, the answer to the questions and the question.

I enjoyed making a comment to room 4.

LI: To reply with open questions.






Maths | Fractions

Fractions are the equal pieces that have been cut from a whole object. There are three different types of fractions: proper, improper and mixed number fractions.

Proper fractions are fractions in which the denominator is bigger than the numerator an example: 3/4 


Improper fractions are fractions that have their denominator less than their numerator an example 7/6 

Mixed number fractions are fractions that have a whole as well as a fraction an example 1 and 2/5.

Fraction & Decimals

Fractions are something that does not contain a whole number, Decimals means number less than one.

These are some fractions, 1/5, 2/8, 8/3, etc.

When using fractions usually you have to solve a problem by making it fair, sharing,same amount each, etc.  


For example if there was 4 people and 3.00 dollars you will need to share it by cents, the right amount it - 0.75. which is 3/4s if you divide each dollar by 4.

The relationship between decimals and fractions are from decimal you can divide the numerator to the denominator.

The Denominator comes from how many pieces, slices, etc, and numerator means how many parts are taken from that object,thing,etc. 

Fractions can be used a lot, usually when you share slices, etc.

Maori

In Maori we were making a number chart in Te Reo Maori, we were also answering questions for our daily routine.

The number chart had numbers up to one hundred. One in Maori is, tahi and one hundred in Maori is, kotahi rau.

To write numbers in Maori first you need to write whatever number that is the tens. For example, if I want to write the number 74. First I need to find the number in Maori 7 is 'whitu' in Maori. Then you need to write 'tekau' after whitu like this: whitu tekau. After that write 'ma' then the one which is 4 in this case. Four in Maori is 'wha'. In the end it should look like: whitu tekau ma wha.

This activity was informative and I learned more of the numbers in Maori.

Masking Art

In art we were making geometric art using the masking technique.  
Geometric means simple shapes.  
Masking is hiding a area of something. 

We first created the frame, after that we sectioned off the pieces.  
The technique we used was to section off big parts then section them smaller.

After that we started colouring.  
To colour in the sections we moved the pastels in one direction to get a sharp look to the shapes.

The activity was very fun and it taught me a little bit more about art.   

LI: To create geometric art by using a masking technique.
