Prototec

WALT: We are learning to quickly calculate number problems.

Reflection: my goal is to score 100% in the same amount of time.

Question: what is your favourite type of math?  

Prototec

 WALT: We are learning to quickly calculate number problems.

Reflection: I enjoyed doing a prototec math sheet.The hardest part was the thousands column.The easiest parts were adding and subtracting from 20 and doing the time tables and division column. 

Goal: My goal is to score 100 in less time. 

Question: Do you like doing prototec math sheets?why?

Prototec

 WALT: We are learning to solve maths problems and set goals.

Goal: Next time I do a prototec math sheet my goal is to score 100% in less time.

 Reflection: I think the thing I did well was the equations that included thousands.I think the thing I could work on is completing the prototec math sheet in less time.I think it was hard to find the right answers for the equations that included thousands.I think it was easy to solve the questions where you add or subtract from 20 at the end.

Question:Do you enjoy prototec maths sheets? why or why not?

 

Cupcakes

WALT : I am learning to follow a recipe while baking.

Ingredients:

150g Tararua Butter, softened
1 1/2 cups Chelsea Caster Sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla essence
2 1/2 cups Edmonds Self Raising Flour
1 1/4 cups Meadow Fresh Milk


*You can use Chelsea Icing Sugar + 2-3 drops vanilla essence as an alternative.

Recipe:
Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 190°C conventional or 170°C fan-forced. Beat Tararua Butter with an electric mixer until smooth, add Chelsea Caster Sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Add the sifted Edmond's Self Raising Flour, Meadow Fresh Milk and vanilla, beat until smooth. Place paper baking cases in a cupcake tin, spoon in mixture until they are about 2/3 full (don't overfill or they will form peaks). This recipe makes 24 cupcakes so you might need to do this in two batches. Bake for 20 minutes until golden or until they spring back when lightly pressed. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool while you prepare the cake tin i added blueberry's in my cupcakes and made a blueberry glaze.

I enjoyed making these cupcakes and will probably make them again.

I found it tricky learning a new recipe.

what do you think i should add next time i make these cupcakes?

Bug survey

WALT: We are learning to collect and graph data.
                                                                              
Bugs:                                          How many :

Bees                                           7                     

Ladybugs                                   0

Spiders                                       1

Dragonfly                                   2

Praying mantis                           0


I think the most common insect is a bee.

I think the least common insects are ladybugs and praying mantises.



when I was doing this survey the easiest part was collecting data and making a graph and the hardest part was finding the different bugs for the survey.

I was surprised that there were more bees then dragonfly's, were you? why? 

Pilot Whales

Today in Literacy I learnt that long finned pilot whales live in the colder temperature of the southern ocean close to New Zealand and that short finned pilot whales live in warmer temperatures like tropical and sub-tropical zones. 

In maths we learnt how to make a graph using google sheets.

Something I struggled with today was using google sheets to make a graph . 

Something I would like to find out more about is why so many whales are being stranded.
