Maths Activities

 Maths Activities

Hi bloggers, and we have been doing maths activities, and we did times tables for our maths activities.

We did a times tables test which we had to finish in 5 minutes, I fininshed in 2 minutes 49 seconds. Also we had to do a maths worksheet about 4 digit times tables like 9525 X 6 and also decimal times tables, for example: 3.75 X 6. Our strageties was place value 350 X 4 = (300 X 4) + (50 X 4),  trebling and thirding 15 X 18 = 5 X 54, and tidy numbers 101 X 10 = 100 X 10 + 10 , I did it until there was only 1 minute till the lesson was over, after I finished my work, I did prototec basic facts in exactly 1 minute.

S.T.E.M- Waikowhai student led toolkits.

 Student Led Toolkits at Waikowhai

Hi bloggers and today, we had our Student Led Toolkits but at our school, just all the people from our school. This time, we had to present our Toolkits and my partner was Jeremiah. Our Toolkits was Google Slide Animations.

We told them how to make a animation using Google slides, after we told them we said that it was sandpit time which meant that they had to make an animation, they had a 15 minute bomb timer, after the bomb exploded which meant that it was times up, they showed us our animation. After all the people's animation, we showed them our animations, Jeremiah showed them an among us animation with 1180 slides and was still not finished! I showed them a animation about a stickman running away from jail and distracting the guards and making them fall of the cliff and yelling, I made it with 23 slides but I used animating tools, it was funny.

Again for our second Toolkits it was all the same thing though this time we had to give them 20 minutes because a lot of people struggled at making it and we had to help them. Some people got a lot behind that we had to make it for them instead of doing it themselves. Finally when time was up, they showed us their animations they made and they casted up their animation on the television for all of us to see, some were pretty funny too. Unfortunately, we had no time to show them our animations and time was running out, anyway we had to go to our next Toolkits, I showed them the thank you for comming slide page for about a minute.

Finallly, I went to a different toolkit, it was called Musiclab experiments, which was basically some music experiments we had to do or create, it was very fun and really, you should try it, also at the bottom of the website is some squares and when you press them, they play some notes, you can even hold them for as long as you like, they tell you how Musiclab experiments was created, I tried some of the experiments and when I mean some of the experiments, I meant all of the experiments, I've used Musiclab experiments so I knew the URL of the website, anyway all the presenters came to see how we were going with our experiments, I did a good job making a very cool and nice beat that all the presenters stood next to me for a whole minute.

It was 1 o clock and finally everyone had to go back to their classes, a couple of people felt a little sad. I liked Toolkits, I might want to be a presenter since it was so fun presenting our Toolkits and doing someone elses Toolkits, I thought this was one of the best days at Student Led Toolkits because I liked presenting my own toolkits.
