Diary Entry (W9)

Today my group the i phones have finished making our project for inquiry which was a: Garden. The good news is that we finished it and it really has improved how the school look likes. But the bad news is that their are some gaps in the garden and some of the soil are uneven.


We finished making our Garden on Thursday and we are planning to make some little signs that will tell people to respect the garden and not to walk or pick the flowers. Here is a photo of what the garden looked like when we finished:

Diary Writting

Today our group the Iphones have started to get the materials and started to make models for our garden that we are going to try and make for inquiry this Term. This Term’s korero is Now that’s Thinking and This term, Team 5 are going to try and make a model or product that can help School life get better.

For this special occasion our Team the Iphone's decided to make a garden outside Room 1 to help the appearance of the school increase, and today we have started to get the equipment and materials that we needed to make this product work. This is the list of the things we needed:

• Shovels
• Gloves
• Change of Clothes
• Flowers

We have decided to start planting next week on Tuesday and maybe Wednesday and really hope that we can try and make the garden    

Making Pasta at Tech

Today the year 7's went to Tech at Tamaki College. We were split into groups and the group that I was in was Cooking. In cooking we made pasta with Corn,Salami and onions. Here a a picture that shows what it looks like:

Reading Graphs

Finding the Mean,Median and mode

W.A.L.T. Identify the mean, median and mode in data sets
Today I have finished my Maths activity for week 7. On this presentation it has activites to find the mean, median and a mode in a ranch of numbers.

Education Speech

Why is Education so important in our lives?. Education plays a very important role in our lives and for everybody that goes through life. Getting a proper education is very important, it helps us to have a successful and good life. It support’s the feeling of physical,mental, and social well being for a better life. It helps a person to improve his/her’s critical thinking at school or anywhere on the planet. It provides us lots of confidence by increasing our knowledge each day, and the more knowledge we get, we grow and develop more in life. So my question for you is do you want your education to be successful and free?

Healing Honey

W.A.L.T. Find and si,arise Key information in a Text
Today I have finished my reading activity. On this presentation I teach's me about Plant's that can heal people's sickness and I also have learned that Manuka Honey can heal people's sore's.

Making a school Garden

Today my group the Iphones were busy trying to find out what project we should do for our Inquiry:Now That’s Thinking. My group was torn between the choices of making a cafeteria or making a flower garden. When we finally made our decision we decided that it would be easy to make a flower garden to help the appearance of the school when visitors come past, or when people walk past they can see what we have been working on.


For the past few weeks the Iphones have been planning and making design's about what the garden will look like when it is finished. The iphones are hoping that we can finish it before the term finish's.

Mean, Median,Mode

WALT: I will identify patterns and trends in context, within and between data sets; communicating findings, using data displays. Find the mean, median, mode and the range which is part of analysing data.

Statistics                                                           name:Sheena

WALT- Identify the mean, median and mode within a collection of data

Activity One

Answer the questions in a different colour

The definition of the mean in a statistical investigation is commonly referred to as the average. It is the total of all the data divided by the amount of data shown.

For example: if we have this range of data 3,5,7,1,2,3,6,8

3+5+7+1+2+3+6+5  = 32  = 4

             8                      8

1. Find the mean in this set of numbers

3,7,8,4,2,6,5,4,3,9= 51 divided by 10=5.1

2. Find the mean in the set of numbers

4,12,5,6,11,9,5=52 divided by 7=7.4

3. Find the mean in this tally chart: 10,12,4,2=28 divided by 7=4

Pets owned by students	Number of students
Dogs	IIIII IIIII
Cats	IIIII IIIII II
Fish	IIII
Rabbits	II

4. Find the mean in this set of numbers

24,12,16,18=70 divided by 4=17.5

5. Find the mean in this set of numbers

5,9,12,4,10,7=47 divided by 6= 7.8

6. CHALLENGE QUESTION: Find the mean within this data, use the frequency table to help you

1,5,5,2,1,2,5,5,5,5,1,2,1,5,5=3.3

Score	Frequency
1	4
2	3
5	8
Total	15

Activity Two

Answer the questions in a different colour

The definition of the median is the middle number within a set of numbers that have been put in order from size (biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest)

For example: 2,6,4,1,9 = 1,2,4,6,9 and the middle number is 4.

BUT say if there is more than one middle number… the median is found by taking the number midway between the middle pair of numbers:

3,6,1,4,9,2 = 1,2,3,4,6,9 → 3 + 4 = 3.5

                                             2

Find the median in these sets of numbers

1. 10,14,17,12,19,11,16, 14 is the middle number
2. 34,42,37,31,40: 37 is the middle number

3. 101, 167,138,124,198,149,  143 is the middle number

4. 54, 58,52,57,53,60, the middle number is 55.5

5. 1001, 1094, 1023, 1065, 1038, 1027, 1042: the middle number is 1038

6. Find the median within this tally chart

Pets owned by students	Number of students
Dogs	IIIII IIIII
Cats	IIIII II
Fish	IIII
Rabbits	IIIII III
Hamsters	II

The middle number from the tally chart from above is: 7

Activity Three

The mode is the most frequent number in a set of data. The number that occurs most often.

For example: In a set of numbers 3, 7, 8, 4, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 9 there is two modes, 3 and 4 because they appear twice in the data set.

Note- There can either be 0, 1 or 2 modes. If there are 3 or more numbers occur the same number of times, there is no mode.

Find the mode in these sets of numbers

1. 2, 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 3 ,9 the most common numbers are 5 and 3
2. 1, 5, 3, 2, 9 ,4, 1, 6, 8, 0, the most common number is 1
3. 23, 45, 78, 12, 45, 67, 32, 46, 93, 12, the most common numbers are 45 and 12
4. 101, 121, 123, 145, 167, 121, 139, 145, 176, the most common numbers are 121 and 145
5. 394, 273, 219, 294, 183, 291, 273, 288, 271, the most common number is 273

Find the Range in these number:

1. 32,41,37,34,40: 41-32=9
2. 100,92,96,94,98: 100-92=8
3. 72,79,76,74,69,80: 80-69=11
4. 54,57,52,55,58: 58-52=6

112,125,115,111,120: 125-111=14

Word Probelm(W4T2)

WALT:  I will collect, sort and count data  AND apply basic addition facts and knowledge of place value and symmetry to: - combine or partition whole numbers
Today I have finished my maths activity. On this presentation it has word problems where I had to solve and it helped me increase my word problem knowledge.

Today I have finished my Maths activity for week 6. On this presentation it teach's me about Reading Graphs like: Pie Graphs, Bar graph and more other graphs.

Marking my test helps me to improve my learning

Today in Mrs Tele'a's Maths class my group Tapaono marked our IKAN test. This time round when I did the the test it was more relaxing then last time where we had to look up at the T.V screen and try and keep up.   This time we used our chromebooks and earphones and we could do it twice to double check if we had the right answer.


The next day after we did the test we had to sit in our small group and mark our results with the teacher. I am kinda proud of my results because in some parts I made some silly mistakes and it was really challenging and now I know that next time when I do a IKAN test I have to improve myself more on fractions and place value.

I'm glad I got to see my results and even mark my work because it helps me to know exactly what I need to work on.
