Algebra Reflection term 3

 Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021                                                    Name: Juan de Jager

Criteria	Level 2 (5ii)	Early Level 3	Level 3	Level 4
Algebraic patterns	Explain the rule for a sequential pattern.	Describe the rules for number patterns	Use tables and graphs to describe rules number patterns	Find rules and formulas for number patterns

My Algebra goals: I don’t have a goal because I know all of the levels including level 5 so my goal would be to work on level 6 and a good challenge for me.

Goal	Success Criteria (This is what it will look like when I get there)
I need to explain what the next term of a spatial pattern will be. Eg	To achieve this goal I can say which is the next number, shape or character in the pattern or I know what the next number or shape will be in the next part of the sequence. Eg the next creature is a butterfly. The next pattern will have four triangles.etc.
I can describe what must happen for the next pattern. For example	To achieve this goal I can say what is happening in the patterns eg You add two matches each time to make the next pattern in the sequence. It is going up by 2 each time starting from 3.
I need a strategy to continue a pattern without drawing or building every one.	To achieve this goal I will have a strategy such as a table I can use to work out how many matchsticks there will be needed to make 10 triangles.  Triangles 1 2 3 4 5 Matches 3 5 7 9 11 Each time the difference gets bigger by one so I can work out the 10th pattern without building it.
I need to be able to use a formula to work out the 100th term in a spatial or number pattern	To achieve this goal, I can use letters to represent the term in a sequence that I get from looking at a table and building a formula.   I notice if I double the number of triangles and add 1, I get the number of matches needed so m = double p plus 1. Eg 3 x 2 = 6 plus 1 = 7.

Goal Setting in Algebra: my goal is a achieve level 6

My goal in algebra is to …………………………………………………………………………………………….

Algebra Reflection

Using the two tests, think about your strengths and which gaps you have sorted out. (goals you have achieved). To be completed at the end of the 3 weeks. 

Talk to someone about:

• How you achieved them (you could talk about how quickly you achieve them, some of the learning qualities that helped you achieve them.) 

• What strategies you now have to help you with algebraic problems. (use your rubric)

• What worked well for your learning (what you did or what your teachers did)

• What could have been better (what could you have done better? or what could your teachers have done better?)

Finally post on your Blog 

An Example 

Progress and what could have been better.

I have really improved in the past 3 weeks of doing algebra and I think I will never forget the stuff that I learned, and next year when I go to intermediate I won’t need to worry about algebra.  

The mathletics also really helped me in the algebra.

Fraction Reflection

 Fraction Reflection 

This is an opportunity for you to reflect on your Maths teaching and learning this week. You can then put it up on your blog. 

As a Learners: 

What did I learn during the two different lessons?

I learned how to add and subtract fractions and how to do big fractions. I did not know the proper way to do that and I learned something new and it is going to help me in the fractions test.

What could have been better

Something that could be better is that they could do some more fun stuff and could do some more stuff that is also fun.

As a Teacher:

What were the strengths of my / our teaching?

Our strengths is I was well supported and it was fun and enjoyable because we did a lot of fun stuff like an amazing kahoot and maths tag that was really fun and we also did stuff on a number line.

What could have been better? 

We have to work on experience learning that is not too easy or hard like when we teached it was really easy for Holly but not that easy for Benicio oltho it was easy for Holly but not for Benicio.

What did I learn from being an observer? 

I did not really learn anything because I did not do the Observer because I was sick.

Would you like the opportunity to teach children in another area of maths? Why or why not?

It depends because I want to teach people that are already good but not good like where Holly needed a challenge.

Sport VS Music

 Sport VS Music Writing

By:Juan de Jager

Sport

This is why sport is good for you. Sport is good for you because you have to go outside and have fun. If you play sports it is great for you, because you get exercise which would keep you fit and get oxygen. It is really good for you because you need fresh air.

It is like you almost need to play sport because you wouldn't get physical exercise and then your brain would not work that well. Now here is a good reason, you have fun and joy so you can spend more time with your family so sport is good and so you also don’t sit on a device.

But here is Music

This is why music in Oslo is important. Music is important because you need some time to relax in your life so that is why. Another reason is because you need to have more responsibility with music because you have to take care of your own instrument.

You might think music is boring but if you just listen it is fun and sometimes smooth. You can also learn something new inside, not outside.

Music is a good thing but some of the time it is annoying and noisy. Music is so great for your mind and brain My mum told me when you feel scared you just need to sing your favorite song and that is what I do and it really works

Basic Facts Graph

 Basic Facts Graph Term 1 and 2.

This graph shows the progress made by students over Terms 1 and 2 with their Basic Facts Tests. The aim is for students to become automatic with their knowledge of Addition and Subtraction to 20, and Multiplication and Division to 100 by the end of year 6. This will help students gain better understandings with other Strands, Concepts and Problems.

Reflection about My Basic Facts Term 1 and 2.

June-  did pretty good in the test but I think I could still work on some of the decimals like the fractions but I also know my 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 times tables are pretty good.

Why I should go on the horouta waka

 Dear Chiefs,

I am going to be talking about why I should go on the horouta waka I think I will be pretty good at a lot of stuff and here are my reasons.

Firstly, I am good at navigating.  I am good because I can navigate by using the sun and the stars.  How I navigate by using the sun is by seeing where North, East, South and West by where the sun sets and rises so I know where I am going to.  How I use the stars to navigate I use my hands.

Secondly, Why I am awesome at watching pets. I can build a pen on the waka and will check on them every day and look if they are good to eat.

Thirdly, Why I am the best at tying knots, I know how to tie a lot of knots and I am good at putting the sail up and teaching other people the strongest knot  so they can help everyone.

Fourthly, I am excellent at building stuff like a pin for all the animals. I can make it really really strong and so it can survive  a storm. I can also build a really awesome hut to stay in for the waka.

Fifthly, I am the greatest sailor in Hakaki and I can climb the pole then put the sail and I am really strong so I can lift really big crates and sail if you don’t know yet.

Sixthly, I am also an excerpt at fishing. I caught a lot of fish and when our food runs out I will fish for fish to eat and stack up on fish.

Seventhly, I am so bad at hunting I have never even been so I can not be good at hunting for Hawaki. I would probably die and when I shoot a gun I always miss.

I am really desperate to go on the horouta waka as you can see and I know you are a good chief and not a  bad chief so I know you will put me on the horouta waka and I am good as you can see.
