Addition and Subtraction

Addition and Subtraction can be solved by using two stategies: counting on/back, rounding and compensating.

Counting on is adding forward using fingers, when the number added is under ten. Counting back is subtracting using fingers, when the number subtracted is under ten

Rounding and compensating is rounding the added or subtrated number to the nearest tidy number, then compensating for the rounding. Compensating is done by slitting the new number into the old number and the leftover.

Counting on/back and rounding and compensating is easy stategies to use addition and subtraction, when numbers get too big to be solved with basic facts.

Party Popper Prototype

My company, The Toy Designers, created our prototype of our party popper.

First we collected all our material to create our party popper. We chose a plastic cup to make the confetti flig into the air. Then we poked a hole inside to put the rubber band inside.

Second we added the medium rubber into the hole in the prototype party popper. It's hard for our company to put the rubber band in the cup. 

To finish up our prototype, by adding the weight and stopper onto our prototype. Our weight and stopper is a dice and a toothpick

I learned a lot about building our prototype, and the party popper was sucessful. Toy Designers need to add more updates to our party popper.

Remembering Task

 The task for Maori was Revision and a Memory game.

We played a game where you have to remember where the card is to match it with the same card and then say the word in Maori. I got four cards that are the same.

Then we had to look up on the Maori dictionary to help answer the questions. 

I would like to work on a technique for remembering game next time.

Fizzbee

 This activity that was really hard to do was the fizzbee catching.

The main point of this is activity was to catch the fizzbee and to throw it to my partner. The hard was to catch it and throw it because we had to throw the fizzbee like a rugby ball.

Then we start throwing the fizzbee and our partner had to run and catch the fizzbee. This told me lots of skills to master this techique. 

After that we did the same skill but we had to jump the fizzbee. I was really go at run and catch but now I needed to jump and catch the fizzbee this took me a while to get this techquie as well.

Then we started to do the same skill but we had to listen to where we had to turn. The derections we had to do was the phally, the hall, LS1 and our partner. This was a harder and the sweatest thing I had to do.

Then we play a game. There was two team, one non bebs, and bebs. This was fun to play but we saddly lost in the game but we tried our best. 

This fizzbee task was really hard to me because I really need to practise balancing.

Sentences

 The task for Maori I did was Maori sentences. 

I needed to write down Moari sentence by uses these words. Kea hea te... i te... and the Maori word. 

For example Kea hea te pene? kei runga i te turu the pen is on the table. I had to write down 10 of theses.

Then I made a google slide writing down the 10 Maori words on each slide.

I like this task and I want to practise and ask Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie next time.

Toy Designers

 The task I was given was to change a popper design Mr Wong showed us.

I had to write down the parts of the popper, what it does, the changes of it and reasons why the popper would sell.

I wrote down all the parts of the parts. For example plastic cup, rubber band and tooth pick.

Then I wrote down all what the parts from the popper Mr Wong showed me like the plastic cup is used to hold all the confetii in it.

After that I wrote the changes that I would do. The changes I did was changing the rubber band to a thick rubber band because using a thick band it won't break.

Then I wrote down why people would by the my party popper. The reason why people would buy my popper is our Market will sale our party poppers because people likes pokemon and skittles.

This gave me ideas in my head of the party popper that I will make.

Topic Planner

The task that I have been given was to write down information about the book I just read.

The book I was given was talking about the paralympic. I wrote down what I fact I knew about the paralympic. 

I tried to find 3 keywords and pick one word for example cerebral palsy means having brain damage.

Lastly I wrote down key questions and question I would answer. Key questions are what the author thinks in their mind. Question I would answer is the question that I would answer.

I collected lots of information in one book and I would to read the other texts.
