Reading Learning Story!

In Reading I have been learning to research information about WW1, WW2, Vietnam war & the Korean war by reading book's from the school library, school Journals & information on the internet.

When me and my group were researching about WW1 we made little notes using our prior knowledge of the stories we read first. We then thought about what else we wanted to find out and asked some wondering questions.

First we read the information and we had to skim and scan the information to find the answers quickly. We use key words to help us find the information.
When we find the information we need to read it careful and ask our group questions and discuss it so we all understand and can share our opinions.

I am also learning to communicate with my learning team about what the author is meaning and what I think, so we can get a picture in our head and can summarise the key information in our own words.

Evidence: INQUIRY ABOUT OTHER WARS NZ HAVE BEEN INVOLVED

Maths Learning Story!

In maths I have been learning to solve maths problems quickly by using my mathematical skills and using what I already know to help me make connections. 

When I am using mathematical skills I am using my prior knowledge of other strategies I can think of, for e.g Multiplication. I know my times tables so I can use my knowledge of Families of facts to help me solve division problems. 

When I'm using what I already know to help me make connections I am thinking back to when I had maths with Taiki e.g we were multiplying tens and ones, here are is an example of what maths I did. 

13 x 18 = (10 x 10) + (10 x 8) + (3 x 10) + (3 x 8) this is the strategies we use to help us solve multiplication problems with bigger numbers.

Here is a link to my maths practice document I made! 

MATHS PRACTICE!

When I'm solving maths problems I can be confident, Take risks & have a go. I am confident to share ideas with the whole class when my group is stuck on what we did I can explain it by saying First, Second & Third.

I can take risks every time I don't know the answer e.g When my teacher asks me to share our ideas and I have no clue what the answer is then I just think in my head, think of a answer I could say then just take a risk and say it because I might be right.
