Recall commonly used fraction, decimals and percentage conversions

In Maths we have been learning:

• To convert between fractions, decimals , percentages and vice versa.

Here is a link to our online modelling book.

Here are the IXL screenshots that show evidence of my learning.  

(include screenshots of ALL of  the IXL activities that you have completed)

Here are some images to show the book work I have done. ( Use the ipad to take photos of your book work)

My next learning step in Maths is .... to try remember them off by heart and solve more complicated equations with ease.

Peer mediation merit 4h

Today I had peer mediation as I usually have on a Friday,my duty is on the second half along with Maxim and Shivanah.Unfotunately Maxim was in the sick bay and I could not find her even though I reminded her so I just got the gear from the other peer mediators and went down to the junior are were as soon as I went I got a problem about not letting me play with her,we get these problems quite a lot but luckily they came to a agreement very quickly then I just walked around mostly the junior area.After a while I got another problem but as this involved violence I was not allowed to try solve there problem but suggested them to go to a duty teacher.As I went for a quick walk Caitlin asked if she could help so I said yes and went back to th junior are with Caitlin we only got one other problem which was about kids just with random problems which made feeling out the google form a little.the google form is the form we use to record the students and the problem down.

CARE VALUE I SHOWED WAS: excellence by just doing my duty and doing it properly.

Leadership #4

Today was cultral day wich we have every year.This is when we celebrate our culture within our school and also learning about them.This event is run by the cultral ambasadorrs who are Sasha and Hussain.For yoday I wore a fancy,cultral and sparkley dress,this style represented where i'm from which is Pakistan.

We started the day off by practicing our mihi so we can present it to the people coming over.When they came over we went outside on to the courts and sang our school waiata,to welcome them.After, we met whith some of them and said our mihi to the adult students from the international school.The majority of them were from India,philipines and bangladesh.Once we did that we watched some performances like a punjabi dance and phillipino dances.After,morning tea we played some philipino games like limbo and this which was my favaourite which they called guards were it was a really stratigacil and involved  lot a team work it was mostly a tagging game.later on,at th cultral assembaley we at the start had japaneese drums the a chineese instrument wich were really nice then we had a kapa haka performences,mr brown even let some students and teachers try some actions.then we had a chineese fashion runway thing then we had a school one.Every teacer chose 4people to be in the fashion show I was persnolly involved in it.

Overall this was really fun and exciting the care value I showed was respect because I showed respect to the students who came over and also at the assembaley. 

Home learning merit #3

For this home learning challenge I decided to make a three course meal  for my family C2.
The way I presented it was we just ate on our traditional mat and whith my family and friend.
This was pretty easy as I have experience and I love cooking.Everyone loved the fodd especially the rice.
For entree I made a traditional Pakastani snack type wich they serve before giving a main meal.And a mint chutney for freshness.













Then I made chineese rice which has chiken,egg and vegetables.This was my mums recipies.

And for desert I made a truffle.

Key leadership merit #3 [peer mediation]

This week on Friday I had peer mediation along with Maxim and Shivannah. Our duty is on the second half. We we got the vests and lanyards from the second group,they told us that there was a problem that the could not complete so we tried by first solving that problem.Then we went to the junior area where we found and got lots of problems as soon as we went there the first problem was that some boys had a ball stuck up on a shade which was not really a big problem but they really wanted help once we finally got the ball down we helped some more kids.For a while we did not have that many problems and even when we did they were pretty minor like having accidentally hurt some one those kinds of problems were pretty easy to solve because the problem was normally sorted out y saying a simple sorry so we just walked around.Near the end of lunch we just had a quick check around the junior classes and saw some boys who told us another boy had threw toilet brushes over the fence as the bell just rang we told Mr rush and went back to class.

CARE value i showed was community by being overall nice to the kids and not taking sides.

Leadership merit #3

On Wednesday we had a lady named Tracy come to our school from the peace foundation,to teach us about being a better and more efficient peer mediator.

We went over to the hall at about 9:30 we started off by going over a couple of rules;then,we started of by learning about different thing we do when we are around someone or have a problem with someone else.those feeling and reactions were represented by different animals,e.g a turtle is when you just can't be bothered arguing and walk away.After, learning about the different animals we had to write down when we use those e.g if it is around our friends or around family.Later on,we got into groups of about 5 to 6 and did a range of activities like arranging different feeling and key words with the animals.The people that got less wrong got a peer mediation badge,we got 6 wrong but we did not win.After,morning tea we got into different groups and watched a clip on peer mediation,about how peer mediators are supposed to act then,we write down 5/6 qualities about the mediators.Next,we did watch a couple more videos on peer mediation and do a little bit more discussing about the topic.Soon after,we got into pairs of yr 7/8 and did listening activities.At the end we all got a peer mediation badge an went back to class.

C.A.R.E VALUE I SHOWED WAS: probably respect because I showed respect while Tracy was talking.

Use factors multiples and powers, including square roots.

In Maths we have been learning:

• Divisibility rules up to 10.
• Simple powers to 10.
• Square roots of perfect squares.
• Common factors of numbers to 100, including highest common factor.
• Least common multiples of numbers to 100.

My next learning step in Maths is……. to try learning algebra and if it was for this maths goal learn more of a variety of strategies.
