LI: To calculate the area of a compound shape.
Compound shapes are really easy they have 2 different type of widths if you add them together you end up with an answer. To find the area of an compound shape you break it down into shapes you know. Then add each of them add both of them together then you find the missing side and use the measurements you already have to check and missing side length needed to find the area
Then you sum up each of the areas to find the answer.
Classifying 2D Shapes
Classifying just means sorting shapes.
For 2D (flat) shapes, we look at their sides and angles:
Triangles (3 sides) Equilateral: All 3 sides are the same length. Isosceles: Only 2 sides are the same length (like a pair of pants). Scalene: All 3 sides are different lengths. Right-angled: Has one perfect 90degrees square corner.
Quadrilaterals (4 sides)Square: 4 equal sides and four $90 circe corners.Rectangle: Opposite sides are equal lengths, with four $90 circe corners. Parallelogram: Like a leaning rectangle. Opposite sides are parallel (they run side-by-side like train tracks and never cross).
Classifying 3D Shapes.3D shapes are fat, solid shapes you can hold. We classify them by counting three things: Faces: The flat surfaces you can press your hand against. Edges: The straight lines where two faces meet. Vertices: The sharp corners (points) where edges meet.
LI: To explore what volume is.
Today in LS2 we are learning what volume is, volume is something like the inside or the amount of velocity inside an object or shape. We can also call volume the measurement between three or two dimensional shapes.
There are different formulas on weather we can do it. For example the volume for a cubed shape is _ x _ x _ x which equals to your answer just like the example on the top.
LI: How to identify different types of triangles.
Today we have been identifying and learning about types of triangles and what they are used for, they’re are two categories, the two categories are called on based on and there names are the triangles of angles and triangles of sides. We can use triangles to determine what and how the length of something is. For example, Pizza what type of triangle is that your friend asks, now you have to answer that question, later on you say equilateral triangle because it’s sometimes looks basically the same but the only difference between the two objects that we are comparing together.
After this activity we had a lot of knowledge about these types of triangles while helping each other.
LI: To convert between metric units of lengths wight and volume.
Converting is really easy all it takes it to multiply it by itself all you need it a formula. Just get your type of measurement in this case i’m using 100 centimeters to do this then you times it by 10 to make 1 meter because 10×100=1000 which is 100cm x 10 that becomes one meter its that easy!
LI: How To Subtract Decimals Using Algorithms.
Today in LS2 for maths we are learning how to subtract with decimals, but to subtract decimals we can use the regular way on how we subtract. For example first we a line all the correct numbers, then we can now start to do the subtract process just like the image above.
After subtracting the numbers we now have to perfectly a line the decimal points because it helps us get the total correctly especially when starting to process everything. But we always have to remember to put in the correct numbers along with there decimals because it is very important to get the right answers, and one more thing is that we should always remember the different formula’s
Today In LS2 in our Group we learned about how to add up decimals using algorithms, after learning and exploring what the square roots we’re everyone in the group looked forward to looking for our new topic, this new topic was called decimals but for the meantime we are still on the adding up part.
While doing decimals, we should always put to mind to put the decimal points and numbers all a linded. During this lesson me and my group mates knew how to add them up because it’s just like regular adding of numbers, but the only new thing we had to remember was that there was a decimal every after a number. Though this lesson was very fun we also had a very great understanding on how we can do it now, we also helped each other on how we can get the correct answers.
LI: To use creative expression to explore the hopes and dreams of people in a text.
After reading The Diary of Anne Frank and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, we talked about what people must have felt like having their whole world turned upside down. I can’t imagine what it felt like to be separated from family and friends and have your freedom taken away. We discussed the hopes and dreams that Anne Frank and Bruno may have had, such as being with loved ones, having hope for the future, and living a normal life again.
Yesterday, we discussed how we could put their Cloth of Dreams back together again. There were no strict rules for this activity, which allowed us to express our ideas creatively and share different perspectives. Working collaboratively in groups, we combined our ideas and created drawings that represented dreams of Whanau, friendship, hope, and freedom.
This activity was inspired by the book Teaspoon of Light. I enjoyed having the freedom to be creative and seeing how everyone interpreted the dreams differently. It helped me understand that even during difficult times, people can still hold onto hope and dream about a better future.
LI: To understand how characters, mood, and atmosphere help shape a story.
In reading, my group created a DLO about different types of characters and how mood and atmosphere are used in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. We explained the difference between protagonists and antagonists, as well as round and flat characters. We also explored how mood and atmosphere affect the way readers feel during important parts of the story.
While working on this task, we used examples from the text to explain our ideas more clearly. It was interesting learning how different characters have different roles in a story and how the atmosphere can make scenes feel tense, emotional, or uncomfortable.
This activity helped me understand how authors use characters and setting to shape the mood of a story and create stronger emotions for the reader
We listened to the audiobook of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. After each chapter, we explored the mood and atmosphere. The mood is the emotions and feelings created in the story, while the atmosphere is the feeling or tone that the setting and events create for the reader.
We worked collaboratively to summarise each chapter in 10 sentences. This helped us practise using a range of sentence structures, including simple, compound, and complex sentences, to show characters’ emotions and important events. It also helped us improve our vocabulary and think more deeply about the mood and atmosphere in each chapter. I found it interesting how changing the length and structure of sentences could make a scene feel more tense, emotional, or dramatic
