Maths Factors & multiples

 Maths factors & multiples 

L4: Identify factors of numbers to 100.

L4: Find common multiples of numbers to 10. 

For this weeks maths task we had to complete two worksheets take a picture of them and add them to our blogs. then we had to make a step by step guide of how to solve the questions/learning goals. The fist worksheet was about identifying factors of number up to 100 and the second one was finding multiples and common multiples of numbers. 

The questions on the first worksheet were:

figure out the factors of these numbers:   

24 = 1, 4, 6, 8, 12, 3, 2

23 = 1

44 = 1, 22, 2, 4, 11

11 = 1

15 = 1, 3, 5

56 = 1, 7, 8, 2, 28, 4, 14

86 = 1, 2, 43

49 = 1, 7

The questions on the second worksheet were:

figure out the first four multiples in these numbers 

3 = 3, 6, 9, 12 

2 = 2, 4, 6, 8

9 = 9, 18, 27, 36

6 = 6, 12, 18, 24

figure out the common multiples in these numbers

1 & 8 = 8,16

6 & 3 = 6,12

10 & 4 = 20,40

Growth Mindset

 Growth Mindset 

During the past few weeks the kaupeka hub has been learning about growth mindsets and happiness. This week for our reading task we had to find someone in this world who has shown grit and perseverance through struggles. I chose Anna Grimaldi, She was born without her right arm and showed grit by going on and winning a gold medal at the 2016 Paralympic games for Long Jump, while representing New Zealand . I decided to choose her because I really liked her story and how it inspired me.

 For my create I displayed what a positive and negative mindset looks like, I added quotes and a little blurb about Anna Grimaldi and her story. I included an article about How having a positive attitude helps you overcome life's challenges.  And added an article about Anna Grimaldi. 

Here is my poster

Do you have a growth mindset? 

Inner peace

Inner Peace Reading 

This week for reading we were focusing on inner peace, we had to find what our inner peace is and display it on a peace symbol that we had to colour in. We also had to find an article about it. On my peace symbol I used all the colours and wrote what makes me happy, what my inner peace is, I wrote friends, family, laughing and having fun.

                                                   Here is a picture of my peace symbol. 

My inner peace looks like laughing, spending times with my friends, living out my passions, playing sport and my pets. 

What is your inner peace?
