This is the IXL award grid. It consists of 72 squares (8×9). As you can see it is almost full. The awards with the question marks are the only ones I can discover, which are mastering (skill amount) skills and answering question numbers in the thousands, E.g 4000 questions. When an award says ‘complete any row’ or ‘complete any column’, it means you need to complete an award row/column on the grid.
After the Matariki Festival event we were given some fun tasks to do rather than resume the normal learning. These slides are Friday exclusive. There are eight tasks in total and I did need some help on it. After Friday is the weekends and this is a good way to end off the week days (except sports. )
There are no pictures for this blog post.
On Thursday, Selina, CC, and I hosted a station about making star spheres. I have blogged about star spheres before. many other people from the senior syndicate (Team Tui). Many people made their own stations that have different activities and things that you can buy.
Our activity was not promoted due to the poster being a false advertisement and claiming ‘free prizes to be won’ when we did not have the time to set up prizes other than cat pictures. The star sphere activity was simple, not too fancy or flashy. That meant not much people came to our station.
Most of my energy was wasted from the performance because everyone sat there for at least an hour. I then decided to visit other people’s stands and give them cat pictures. I bought some blondies (food) and some loom bands.
Next time I did this I would try to focus on LCS only and try to use my time at home. The star ball idea was a very good idea, but it wasn’t well executed as I thought it would be.
This IXL math is found in Year 8, U.7. It is about a missing angle in triangles and quadrilaterals (4 sided shapes). To figure out the missing angle you add all the current angles together. Example- 66+142+43=251. The sum of all the angle numbers must be 360 degrees. That only applies to a quadrilateral. For a triangle, the sum must be 180 degrees. Then you subtract the sum of all the current numbers by 360 or 180, depending on the shape. Example- 360-251-109.
The link leads to a cute cat video. It is about my cat Lily sitting down while Burmese music is playing in the background. Lily does not stand up at any time. The sun that reflects makes a cool cinematic effect.
This is the 10th installment of ‘My Polyline Drawings’. If you haven’t looked deeper into my blog, the polyline drawings series consists of creatures called bytes that are drawn with polyline or curve. I made this with my friends so some bytes may be unfinished.
For this week we are learning about transformations and rotational symmetry. The three basic transformations are rotation, reflection and translation. The first image is about rotation, which is turning a shape but still staying in the same place. The second image is about rotational symmetry and the rotation you need to turn the shape for it to look the same. These two pictures are from IXL but they show what I am learning about.
