Puzzling Probability

 

Hey people, 

Hope you had another great week! Just a quick post today but I really wanted to show you all Zara and I's probability report!

Over the past wee while in maths we have been looking into probability. We were given the task to pick something that we could experiment with and then report. We could either do this in pairs or individually, I did mine with Zara. 

Our report was on Murphy's Law, at the time I had no idea what that was. It basically means like according to Murphy's Law the worst thing will always go wrong (there is a better definition in the report below). Both of us actually struggled quite a bit coming up with an idea, the classic one was to butter some toast and see which way it would land when it was dropped. Murphy's Law would say face down. We did our own version of that, we had a folded piece of paper and put glue on one side.

Here is the report, our results were quite shocking really:

Thank you for taking your time and reading this!

Have you made a report like this?

If so what was it about?

Have you learnt anything new?

See ya later;

Fabulous Fantastic First Friday & Formerly For Fun Fourth!

Hey everyone, 

Hope you had a great holiday and are excited and motivated for this coming and final term of the year (the best term). Fabulous Fantastic First Friday & Formerly For Fun Fourth! That is just my way of saying Fabulous First Week For The Fourth Term (I just wanted to only use [f's at the start] alliteration).

Anyway, I was going to give you a log today about what I did this week:

Monday: 

• Maths
• More probability work on our investigation (I may blog this once done)
• Spelling
• Reading Recovery Buddy
• Over the last few weeks, I have been helping my little buddy Karlee with her reading, spelling, and writing.
• Literacy
• We continued working on our film scripts (I will blog this once completed)
• Inquiry
• We continued working on our Wearable Arts piece, the show will be held in week 3 (I will blog this once done also)

Tuesday

• Maths
• More probability work on our investigation (I may blog this once done)
• Spelling
• Reading Recovery Buddy
• Literacy
• We continued working on our film scripts (I will blog this once completed)
• Athletics Practice
• We are practicing in the run-up to Athletics for next week on Friday (well in this time I sorted through the recycling bins pulling out all the rubbish [with help from a few good friends]

Wednesday

• Technology
• I am currently learning and working with Digital Technologies (the last cycle of the term)
• Personality Quiz
• After that whilst the other group went to Technology we took a survey and found out 25 traits in order from 1-25 for us. My top 5 (in order) were; Honesty, Love, Perseverance, Curiosity, &  Gratitude. 

Thursday

• Reading Recovery Buddy
• ICAS Writing
• I missed Literacy as I missed ICAS in the morning.
• Athletics Practice

Friday

• Tickets
• Zara and I counted the tickets and did the weekly draw for who won the ice blocks. If you don't know these tickets are points for each house.
• Cultural Live Stream
• It was the cultural day when everyone dresses up in their culture, some people made presentations and talked about their country (we watched through the TV because alert level 2 restricts the whole school from gathering.
• Maths
• We just finished off some work for only 15 mins before:
• Kiwi Buddies
• We all have one (some 2) buddy(s) that we help, read to, they read to us, or play with them for 30-45 mins.
• Inquiry

I hope you enjoyed reading about my week. Please leave any feedback or questions in the comment below.
