WALT: explain what rotation, reflection, translation, enlargement and tessellation are.

I enjoyed learning and explaining what a reflection was because I knew what it was. One thing I found difficult was explaining what translation was.

WALT: find a fraction of an amount and adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Also adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. I am also learning to multiply and divide fractions with like denominators and different denominators.

One thing I found difficult was multiplying and dividing fractions but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. One thing I enjoyed was playing the fraction games, they were fun but not to difficult and therefore giving my brain a break from all the hard fractions.

WALT: Identify equivalent fractions and put them in order. Also comparing them and Simplifying the fractions, convert mied numbers to fractions and vice versa.

One thing I enjoyed was playing fickle fractions on the transum games website because it was very hard to guess the biggest/smallest fraction and find the door with the trophy. One thing I found tricky was ordering and comparing the fractions.

This week we read an article called Tohu Hākinakina Wehi o te ao.

It was about a person called Jed Mildon who landed the world’s first ever quadruple backflip on a BMX bike.

His motto is “if your mind can conceive it then your heart can believe it” he says that his motto is the key to his succes.

I used https://www.copy.ai/tools/paragraph-generator to turn my bullet points into a paragraph about Jed Mildon.

Here are my CURRENT EVENTS NOTES.
