Equivalent Fractions DLO.

Equivalent Fractions? It is when a question is like 2/4 = 4/? The way to figure it out is to look at the completed fraction and the number in the incomplete fraction. And if you could figure it out in this case the pattern would be 2x because 2 times 2 is 4 ( that's the number in the incomplete fraction), so that would mean that the denominator of the completed fraction would have to be timed by 2, so that would equal 8. So the answer is 2/4 = 4/8.

                                             So hope yo learnt something about equivalent fractions today.

My Explanation on Empathy.

Empathy is a word that may not be used frequently. Empathy is putting yourself in another person's shoes, it means feeling what another person is feeling.

To show empathy is to put yourself in another person’s shoes. So its like feeling what the other person is feeling.

How would you feel if you were feeling sad about the loss of a loved one and nobody comforted you?What about if nobody understood what you felt like? It would make you feel like your the only one in the world.

To show empathy is if you see someone struggling you should comfort them by seeing if they are alright.

So I think empathy is very important because if there was no empathy it would be a lonely world.

My "Daily Learning Objective" (DLO) about mean,median,mode

Mean, median, mode and range are often used in statistics.

Range: Range is the difference between the highest number and the lowest like for e.g 1,4,7,3,6,9 it would be 8 because the difference between 1 ( the lowest number) and 9 ( the highest number). So that means it is 8.

Mode: Mode is the number that appears the most frequently for e.g 0,2,3,0,3,0. So if you look closely it is 0 because it appears most often.

Median: It means the middle number so what you have to do is put the numbers in order from biggest to smallest and then find the middle number.

Mean: That means the average all you have to do is get all the numbers add them together then times them by how many numbers there are and thats how you do it.

"Adding to sentences" task.

''Adding to sentences'' is a task we were given where we had to add to an unfinished simple sentence:

On the first day of school I was feeling nervous to see what class I was in...

I arrived and saw my friends and teachers and said "Hi!" The bell rang, and we all ran to the hall for Immersion assembly. I was so nervous, but luckily enough I was placed in Room 1. The teachers for this class are Mrs Nua and Mr Barks.

My Waitangi Day trip.

“Get changed we’re going for a ride!” my Dad exclaimed. I was playing B-BalI then I got changed and jumped into the car. While we were driving out the driveway onto the main road I fell asleep.”Yaaawwwnnn, where are we?” I asked my Mum. There was no response, so I looked outside the window and saw a sign saying ‘Pukekohe 1 km and Drury 3 km’ . I thought to myself ,this is a long way away from where I stay Mt Wellington.

Although we stopped at various places like Rebel sport ( to get my brother some cricket gear ) and Burger king (to have lunch), it was a long journey. About 3 - 4 hours, to get to our destination Kariotahi beach. To my surprise the sand was black, I asked my Dad why and he said “because there is lots of iron in the sand”. When I got over the black sand, me and my brother went to the shore. We saw big waves about 2 - 3 meters high and the tide was coming in fast. So we had a challenge where we could see who could run across the waves without getting wet.He won but I put his hat in the water. After that we just walked on the beach and threw sand at each other, and watched other people surf.

“Time to go.”dad said, I ran to the car, with sandy feet and I flopped inside. We drove home, thinking everything was going good but then my Dad stopped the car and exclaimed “ This is the wrong way back home.” He  took out his phone and checked the map and saw that we were going down south not going north back to Auckland, that made the drive about  30 minutes later.

But although we had a very very long drive home, I t

hink that it was cool to spend time with my family at a very cool beach. It was a good experience.
