Frctions | Improper, Proper, MIxed Number and Decimal

Fractions are the equal pieces of a whole object.

Decimals are less than one.

The bottom number of a fraction is called the denoiminator. The denimintor always be the same because if its not the same it gives a different fraction. The top number of a fraction is called the numerator. The numerator is the amount of pieces. If both of the numbers are the same, the fraction is a whole. 

Improper fraction are unequal part, the reason why improper fractions are unequal because the numerator is bigger than the deniminator.

Proper fractions are equal parts of the whole because the numerator is less than the denoiminator.

Mixed number fractions are a whole and a part of a fraction. For example 5/3 is the same as 1 whole and 2/3.

Decimals are a short way to write fractions and mixed numbers with denominators that are powers of 10, like 100,1000,10000, etc. If a number has a decimal point, then the first digit to the right of the decimal point describes the number of tenths. For example, the decimal 0.9 is the same as the fraction 9/10 .

Fractions is a good way to learn how to divide things equally.

Volume and Capacity

Volume is how much space something has. Capacity is the amount that something contain. The standard forms are ml (milliliters) and l (liters).

Estimating is a educated guess to the amount of something is. If a person knows how much space in a lunchbox is 300cm cube, then they can compare the space with a measuring tube. If they know how much water are in the measuring tube. They can make a estimation.

Converting is not easy. If a person wants to convert ml (milliliters) to l (liters) just multiply the number by 1000. If the person wants to covert l (liters) to ml (milliliters) just divide the number by 1000

Maori | Numbers

In Maori we were making a number chart in Te Reo Maori

To write numbers in Maori first you need to write whatever number that is the tens. For example, if I want to write the number 89. First I need to find the number in Maori eight is 'waru' in Maori. Then you need to write 'tekau' after waru like this: waru tekau. After that write 'ma' then the ones which is 9 in this case. Nine in Maori is 'iwa'. In the end it should look like: waru tekau ma iwa.

This activity was helpful and I learned new numbers in Te Reo.

Volleyball

When playing volleyball there are diffferent skills, the first skill to learn should be the set.

What is a set?

A set is a overhead contact with the ball. Sets are usually in serves and when the ball is coming back to the person.

How to do a set?

First the person had to be in a catching hand position, then seperate a gap in the middle of both hands.

After bend the knees a little bit, this is when the person is serving the ball. The reason why the person have to bend the knees a little bit, because to push the ball up.

When the person is serving, the person is not allowed to set the ball with their palm, but their fingers. Because when a person is setting the ball with their palm, the person will not have that much grip, but the fingertips have a good grip on the ball.

In a serve the person have to serve it to the other team to throw it back, but mostly is when the ball is coming back.

Sets are when the person is serving and when the ball is coming back.

Inquiry

Light is something bright that can be seen.
Sound is something loud and quiet that can be heard.

We were learning new vocabulary that was related to light and sound.

To learn all the vocabulary we completed an activity called Matching vocabulary.
When we don't the words we had to look on science dictionary to know the meanings of the words.

When we finish this activity we did another activity called Find, draw, animate and act.
This activity was to show the meanings of the word by an image, a drawing, a animation, or a video.

I made an animation of spectrum. Spectrum is a band of colours like the rainbow, but the colours have no borders.

The words that we did was photon, laser and spectrum and more.

Verbs

There are three types of verbs. They are physical, mental and state of being.

Physical verbs are everyday life actions. For example: sigh, spread and giggle.

Mental verbs are actions when you think. For example: think, love and recognise.

State of being verbs is a verb that has different forms. That verb is "be", but in other forms it is: am, will and were.

Verbs can help describe peoples actions.

Prediction

Prediciting means guessing what's going to happen in the future or next.

The book that I was reading was Grandparents day.

One of the predicition is, I think that grandma will make bacon and eggs but  this prediction. What really happened was that grandma was making muffins with bacon, grated cheese and an egg.

Another prediction is, I think that in the morning grandma and Pop went to the hall but it was incorrect. What really happened was the they went to the netball courts.

I think this is good way for predicting because when I read by myself I can use a Google Doc to take notes of my predictions.

Properties of Light

Light has lots of properties. 

Light is something bright that can be seen from a far distance. Property means a characteristic that something is known by.

One of the properties of light is that light can be blocked by objects that are opaque.

Another property of light is that the light can change it's colour by an coloured object.

Another property of light is that the light can be spilit into colours from the rainbow. This is because the prism seperates the colours into a rainbow.

Check the document below for more properties.

Weight

Weight is how heavy is the object. The standard forms are g (grams), kg (kilograms). The tools to measure these are scale and balance.

Estimating is a educated guess to the amount of something is. If a person knows the weight of a whiteboard marker is 30g, then they can compare the weights with a balance or scale. If they know how much the weights are. They can make a estimation.

Converting is not easy. If a person wants to convert g (grams) to kg (kilograms) just divide the number by 1000. If someone wants to convert kg (kilograms) to t (tonnes) just divide the number by 1000.
