Weighty Challenge 1(The Adding Addicts)

LI: To create a DLO to explain how we solved the problem. 

This week for maths we were learning measurments. In this subject we were talking about weight. The unit for measurement for weight are - grams, kilograms, tonnes etc. In groups we solved 3 problem challenges. For these challenges we wrote down answers in on pieces of paper. After we solved these challenges we created a DLO explaining our strategy and how we got our answer. For our strategy we used Place Value and a calculator because the numbers were too big for us to solve. In my group was Liletina, Hosea, Jayden, Leroy and Diana.

 To write an explanation using TEEL paragraphs

 

 

This week we have been revising explanation writing. Next week is our assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations. We found it interesting the way the paragraphs all connected at the end and you could see the links between the ideas.

Inertia

This week for reading we were learning about Inertia, and part of science that describes the being changed by force, or either being still in rest. There are three laws of inertia which are Inertia of Direction, Inertia of Rest and Inertia of Motion. We made a DLO about what Inertia is and the rules of it. We thought this was really interesting, because we thought it was all just gravity, but there’s more.
