WALT: construct models of polyhedron shapes using everyday materials

In class today our activity was to assemble a polyhedron shape using everyday materials. we had to create, name and find the vertices, faces and edges. I added in how many polygons I used, I named them and added in how many of them I used for my polyhedron. We learnt an easy way to find the edges of a polyhedron shape, you have to add the vertices and faces then take away 2 then you get the number of edges.

Name: Pentagonal prism

Faces: 9

Vertices: 10

9 + 10 - 2

19 - 2 = 17

Edges: 17

Polygons: 3

Triangle - 2

Square - 6

Parallelogram - 2

Different types of triangles

In class we were learning about the different types of triangles.

WALT: Find the names of different polygons

In class last week our maths activity was to take a screenshot of the 7 Matariki stars. With the 7 stars we had to see how many polygons we could make. We were told to try and find 10 but I wanted to find more, I eventually made 24 polygon shapes.

 

Tercet poem

In class we were learning about tercet poemes. Our teacher gave us the task to write a tercet poem about Matariki.

Letter to the principal

Name: Limi 18 May 2017

Dear Mr Hendricks.

Today I am writing this letter to inform you about why I should be one of your helpers. I know that you have a variety of pupils to select from, but I think that you should really consider choosing me. I know that I am capable of being a wonderful and trustful helper. I am a good communicator and I like to help those in need. As I teach others to be responsible, good and helpful, I might be able to learn some more things that benefit to my needs. So while I help others to learn I can learn too. So if you give me this task to do I promise to complete it with the best of my abilities. I really hope you think hard on choosing me and If you do I think you're doing the right thing.

Yours sincerely:

Limi

( I wrote this letter for our principal, who came around our classes asking for people to be a helper. A helper was meant to help certain people who were selected by him and another man. there were only 5 spaces for the job, but if you wanted to get chosen you had to write a paragraph. This paragraph had to have good grammar, spelling and strong vocabulary. After a week or two he choose six kids, and I was happy I was one of them)

Kids on a boat

In this picture it could be summer or spring because no one is stupid enough to go on a boat in winter or autumn because it's too cold. The kids on the boat are probably surprised and terrified, because they don't want to fall off. The boat looks like it's going to capsize, so the kids might fall out and the boat might tumble over.

Mother and daughter

In this photo the girl looks depressed, and sad. She might be feeling sad and depressed because she has the flu and couldn't go out with her friends. She looks like she is lying in her bed with her mother trying to cheer her up. The mother will probably say “ it's okay sweetie” or something nice to cheer her up.
