My IKAN Goals



  1. I need to learn what a common factor is, and how to find the highest common factor in two numbers
  2. I need to find the simplest fraction of a decimal

Rates of Change (:in maths:)

Rates of Change is a maths strategy including fractions and whole numbers. To successfully do Rates of Change, the problem has to be a problem when you divide a number by fractions. This is an example: What is 3/4 (or three-quarters) of 18? Rates of change will make this problem easier. I will show you one way of doing rates of change, which i am going to do it in a table form: 


Dollars
IceBlocks
$2012
$8___
For this example i am going to include iceblocks. Lets say I have $20 and i can get 12 iceblocks with that amount of money, and i want to figure out how many iceblocks i would get if i had $8. To figure it out i will divide 20 and 12. 20 divided by 5 equals 4 and 12 divided by 4 equals 3. 4 is a half of 8 so if i do 2 times 4 i need to do 2 times 3 which is 6, so the answer is 6 iceblocks.

Curiosity This Week

I am Writing about how I was Curious this week.

This week, I was curious 2 days ago when i did an activity called 'Cat out of the Bag'. The activity was a reading activity where we had to find the important ideas from the text. I was curious because i didn't understand how to recognise what a main idea is and a supporting idea is, so i asked how to figure out that an idea is a main idea, and Mr. A told us how to.

W.I.T Evaluation Sheet



How did your group work together? (Did you cooperate, share the work, stay on task, persist when things got hard? Were you open-minded to each others’ ideas? How did you show empathy?)
We showed empathy by helping other groups and helping each other when we got stuck.
We tried all of eachother’s ideas, but not all of them worked.
When things got hard, we tried and tried again until it finally worked out.
We only went off task on 2 days, and in the end we started being sensible.

What were you pleased about in following the Te Ara Tika pathway to learn about first aid? (Think about each of the steps - what steps did you do well or made progress with?)
I was proud that none of my questions were step 1 (a comment or irrelevant question)or step 2 (a question that has no keywords/phrases.)

What skills in the Te Ara Tika pathway do you think you need to improve on and why?
We need to work on finding answers to our questions quicker.

Now think about your google site. What are you really pleased about or had success with?
We are pleased about the C.P.R page, because we put in all of the types/versions of C.P.R. (Baby, Child, and Adult C.P.R)

What do you think needs to be improved on your google site?
We didn’t make the home page informative enough for anyone to understand what is going to happen in our google site without going onto another page.

Do you think your first aid google site does a good job of “effectively communicating” first aid skills? Why or why not? (Would you be happy with people using it to “Save a Mate”?
Yes because it tells you how to perform all of the types of C.P.R properly, and how to tell if someone has anaphylaxis and how to treat anaphylaxis.

What is one thing (skills, learning attitude) that each of you needs to improve on in our next W.I.T.? (Record each of your names with the thing to be improved)

I need to stop laughing and messing up in videos, and i need to talk louder in videos.(Ari)

I need to answer my questions faster, and to stop saying random stuff. (Kyle)
