Making the longest chain

Making a Chain

Walt: 1. write a recount.

        2. integrate maths and writing.

Yesterday my class and I we making the longest chain out of paper. We had to work in groups of two, so I worked with Koliata.

First we had to estimate the length and the width. We used an A5 paper. Then we cut the paper and stick it together and join it. “Koliata, told me to use the length to make it longer.” But I said not if we use the length then it will be come short but if we use the width it will be longer.

Thereafter we placed our paper chain next to the 1 meter ruler and we measured it to make the comparison. Koliata and I made 169 cm chain out a A5 paper. Some of the paper fell off from the chain because we didn’t stick it probably.

Finally we finished, I think our chain was one of the shortest chains. After we estimate the measurement of the chain we had to estimate how long the chain is. Then we compared our chain with the other students. The longest chain was Viliami’s and Howard.

I enjoyed making a chain out of a A5 paper. I think i made it before in the juniors, but I can’t remember. I would like to make another paper chain again.

Lengths of Chains

Walt: Arrange length in order.

Find the mean , median,mode

and range. Explain the differences in length.

Lengths of chains.

Pairs	Length of Chain in centimetres
Ben and Dion	86
Wesley and Koliata	169
Lorenzo and Liam	170
Ifa and Tane	192
Alyssa and Shanelle	192
Andrea Lana	200
Ketura  and Serena	220
Petuana and Yazmin	304
Munokoa and Samuel	320
Stephanie and Cherish	286
Viliami and Howard	383

The mean is 229.3

The median is 200

The mode is 192

The range is 297

The longest chain was Viliami’s and Howard’s chain. Their chain was 383 cm long. The shortest chain was Ben’s and Dion’s, their chain was 86 cm long. Koliata and I made a 169 cm long chain out of a A5 paper.

Paris attack

WHen I heard that Paris got bombed. I was shocked because I would like to go to Paris 

but this happened. Now I don't want to go to Paris anymore. 

Reflections, Translation and Rotation

Walt: Revise transformation.

Today we revised reflections, translation and rotation. I played this transformation activity online.

I made upto level 4, then my teacher ask if anyone is confused?. So I went down to the mat with Koliata and IFa. We learned coordinates I understand it really well. Next time I would like to play more activity’s like this.

The Undefeated Champs

Yesterday the All Black was at Victoria Park. I wish I could celebrate with them.

Come on the All Blacks management plan the celebration after school hours 

or in the week end.

Art Work

Today I completed my art on a foil. We started our art last week and we completed it today.

I am really proud with my art I really like it.  Next time I would like to make another art work like this.

Watched RWC on Sunday Morning

Walt: use online tools to draw a bar graph.

Watched RWC on Sunday Morning

Watched Did not watch

B G Boys         Girls

10 5 3       7

This data was collected  by showing of hands. The  we used the information to draw a  double bar graph online tools. More boys watched  the game than girls because some of the girls are not into. On Friday we predicted our scores. Robin was had the closest score he had 34 - 17, the second closest score was Tane his score was 38 - 17.
