Kiwi Can - T3 W6

This week for Kiwi Can both our tutors Mr Matt & Miss Lily was here (Miss Lily was gone for a few sessions). We were lucky to have her back. First we re-caped what our theme and topic was. Our theme still sticks with Resilience and our topic is still Problem Solving. Resilience is when you bounce back from challenges. Problem solving means when you work together with someone or in a team to share ideas and find the best solution to a difficult problem. For our energizer we played a game called quick draw. In this game there is a master and that master goes around the circle, then the master and the person standing up from the circle put's their hand behind their back. Once the caller (Mr Matt) says go the master and the other person are suppose to put 1-5 fingers up. The winner is the quickest person to add all fingers up (including theirs) and know the answer. For example if I'm holding the number three and the master holding two it's the first person to call out five (because there's five fingers all together). In my perspectives this was one of my best Kiwi Can sessions of this term. 

Kiwi Can Reflection

Today was our 4th session of Kiwi Can and Mr Matt was our Kiwi Can tutor. First we talked about the theme and the topic for this week. Our theme is still resilience which means bouncing back from difficulties or challenges. Our topic for this week is problem solving. Problem solving is when you work together with someone or in a team to share ideas and find the best solution to a difficult problem. We also talked about how we can problem solve in a maths class. For example if a person tries to copy you in a maths problem you can solve it by telling the teacher or if your kind you can help them. After discussing the topic and theme then we moved onto on our energizer. Our energizer game was called rock paper scissors. In this game you are to rock paper scissors with someone and if you loose you are to go on knees. Once you are on your knees you are to verse someone who's on there knees. If you loose then you sit out of them game. If you win and your on your knees then you get back up and verse another person. This game was played until last person standing. Next we played our activity which was the best Kiwi Can game. This game was called hand soccer which is similar to soccer but you have to use your hands to control the ball. I really enjoyed this game because it made us fatigued which was good.

Ratio Problem

For maths this week we were solving a ratio problem. It had a lot of multiplication and division. We also had to use our critical thinking to make sure that the ratio was correct. Nazella, Sanujan, Shakaia and I worked collaboratively to find the answers. Question 3 was very challenging because when were dividing 517 to another number they were all turning out to be decimal out. We then found out that we can divide 517 from 11.  

Division Dilemmas

Problem Solving

For maths we were given three problems and had to do one. I did problem one. I had to solve out how many panels Mira, Api, Matiu, and Eru takes to get to the swimming pool. I had to use my multiplication and division skills to solve out the problem. Mira takes one step at a time, Api takes two, Matiu takes three, and Eru takes four. I had to count how many panels they step on. It was easy to do this problem because I knew my multiplication and multiplication facts.

Maths Problem 1

Today for maths I have created a google drawing on one of the equation our teacher Mrs Kirkpatrick gave us. I did equation one. I had to use my Division and Multiplication maths skills to solve the equation out.
