Tesselation

Walt: make tessellations.

My tessellation

Can you see the pattern? In Room 11 we have been learning about tessellations. I found out that tessellation in not just art, it has a never ending pattern. Then we created our own and this is what I came up with. All I need was two coloured papers, a pencil (to outline the fish) Scissors, glue, and vivid. Everybody did different patterns. Now I would like to see a post of your tessellation. This was my first time making a tessellation.

revision of translation

Walt: solve problems in geometry and measurement.

Transforming-revision

This game is just about translation (transforming). I had to translate the triangle coloured, to the area that was given. The answer Q is the answer because you can not rotate the shape. The easy part was knowing where to place the triangle. The challenging part was drawing the shape of the triangle. Next I would like to draw, and translate different, and harder shapes then a triangle.

Revision of reflection, translation, and rotation

Walt: solve problems in geometry and measurement.

Revision of reflection, translation, and rotation
This game is about revising my knowledge about reflection, translation and rotation. In the picture it shows a “Q” being translated. I found this game a bit easy because I have did this before. The challenging part was remembering how to do it. I have learnt so many things within this aspect of maths. Next I want to reflect, translate, and rotate more difficult shapes.

Probabilty

Walt: solve problems in statistics.

Probability

These two games had to do with probability, and a little bit about statistics. The first game was about a girl and her sister. Her sister wasn't playing fair. The second game was about knowing how to do probability with cupcake options. I found these to games abit easy and challenging because the problem always changes. Both games were hard to understand in the beginning. Next I would like to learn how to solve harder problems than these two games.

Measure and record

Walt: measure and record how many times the marble rolls and where it lands. 

Measure and record

In this picture, it shows the cardboard ramp that we used to roll the marble down. Mary and I used the dictionary books to stand the cardboard ramp up. After rolling the marble down the ramp, get the measuring tape in line with the marble and record the number on the measuring tape. The paper under the measuring tape is for the marble to roll straight. The maths book on the side has the last records. The girl in the background, Alisi, is also playing the same game.

Marble roll-Ramp A and B

Walt: 1.measure and record distances accurately.

        2.graph the starting position and distances travelled.

        3.On scatter graph, talk about distinctive features of scatter graphs.

        4.make statements, backed up by reference to graphs, about possible actions.  

Marble roll-Ramp A

In our maths group we dropped the marble to roll down the rivet, (a wooden ramp) or a cardboard ramp (handmade). First we dropped the marble on a special point marked on the ramp. The first point was 45 and we used the rivet. We rolled the marble 4 times and recorded it. We also did that with other marked places, next we drew a scatter graph.

My scatter graph wasn't very good so I borrowed my friends one. I found it hard to challenging to understand, later on it got easier to work. Next our teacher told us to try a website of scatter graphs online.

I found that the scatter graphs online were better than in making it. I was confused in the beginning but after a few trials, it was simple. After all this I had to analyze it. Our teacher told us children, to get past level 4, we have to know how to draw and stack data into scatter graphs and line graphs.
