  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on identifying discrete versus continuous data
    • We are FOCUSING on enhancing data displays using Google Spreadsheet
    • We are FOCUSING on calculating averages to help examine and discuss results (Mean, Median, Mode & Range)
    • We are FOCUSING on describing findings, relationships and trends
    REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO

    REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions:

    • We are REFLECTING on our 'Results', 'Conclusion' and 'Discussion' statements to ensure we have effectively evaluated the findings of our scientific investigations.
    • We are REVIEWING our mid-year easTTLe tabular reports to identify 'Gaps', 'Barriers' and 'Next Steps'.

    Kia ora 7F2,


    Welcome back from the school holidays.  This week we will be reflecting on our mid-year easTTLe assessments, our Science Fair investigations (MHJC Science Fair boards are due this Friday) and consolidating our knowledge of discrete versus continuous data. We will be exploring maths through the context of 'Globe Trotting - The Olympics'. 


      Authentic Outcomes:  Science Fair & Tokyo Olympics

      Success Criteria:  I can...
      • Use Google Sheet to display data
      • Analyse data using the explore function of Google Sheet
      • Discuss data through a written review of 'results', and a 'discussion' and 'conclusion' statement
      • Review my 'gaps', barriers and 'next steps' on my mid-year asTTle assessment
      • Recall my basic + , - , x and ➗ facts


      Do Now: 
      Students will complete their Numeracy Ninja 'Do Now' Task.  Mark as a class. 




      Class Activities: 

      Statistics (Science Fair)

      1.  Students will download and print their easTTle tabular report.  Examine gaps and form personal goals for end of year testing. 

      2. Revisit discrete versus continuous data - class discussion.

      3. Complete AWS task, attached below.  Constructing tally tables, column graphs and histograms in exercise books. 

      4.  Writing of Maths Evaluations.


      Homework:   

      We will be introducing some Algebra content from this week to join our revision of 'Averages' and 'Number' tasks on Maths Buddy.  You also have received one 'Weekly Revision' task.  The purpose of this revision activity is to keep revising the wider strands.
