Maths Activity.

 Talofa bloggers.

On Wednesday, we did some measurements around our school. We had cardboard and folded them into quarters and cut them to the same size. Then we stuck them together with sticky tape and checked if it is 2 meters. We used 2 squares on the mat to check their size. If it isn't, then stick two more then it will be 2 meters. If it is over the 2 boxes, then trim the piece that is sticking out. Once it is done then we could go outside and find 5 things that was 1 meters or 2 meters long, then we wrote it down in our book I measured the door, bench the cone cupboard and the floor.. write the object that is a meter and write the meters. I learnt  that I can build my own ruler and how to check that is a meter. It was my first time making a ruler made out of cardboard.

I really enjoy this because I haven't done this before.

  

STEM WK, Waikowhai Student Led Tool-kits.

STEM WK.   Last week was stem week. Stem stands for Sience Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. There were 24 presenters and 12 tool-kits to try. There were three sessions.

1st I was presenter and presented Brain-Box. My buddy was Marcus T and we each did our part. Brain-Box is a electronic kit that can make a fan, music and a light-bulb at the same time. Some of the people made it to the radio and it was very loud five or four made the radio work and everyone was really shocked because some people read the instruction carefully.  We were helping people because the pieces were tricky and how to build the radio. There were a 15 minute timer and have some sand pit time. The timer was finished and we all packed up for the next tool-kits.

2nd I went into Incredibox, you can make your own beat and you can't record, you can listen to their music and click on the another music. Their are eight versions, four you just unlock are Alpha, Little Miss, Suns-rise and The Love. You can choose four of the version. I tried Sunrise and there were cool beats to listen.  I clicked on the green button and the music came up and I listen to it.  I felt relaxed because there was music to listen and beats to make up with.

3rd tool-kits were the Brain-Box because I have two tool-kits and present another tool-kit and I was confidence and happy. Some people were late and we started our tool-kits and we have 25 Brain-Boxes and 13 people. They all have one box and started building it. We helped people and got on the radio. Some people already put the radio on and everyone was very confused because they want to do it too.

I feel proud and happy because I was presenting and helping people.
