Math Prove It: Recall Commonly used Fractions, decimal and percentage conversions

W.A.L.T:  Recall Commonly used Fractions, decimal and percentage conversions

My solo level for this is probably relational because I use several strategies achieve my goal and I know when and why to use them. My next step is to get a new math goal.

The answer to this would be 95% 

The answer to this would be 40%

      The answer to this would be 0.80                                                                                                             

Leadership: Describe The Traits Of An Effective Leader

W.A.L.T: Describe the traits of an effective leader.

During the past week rooms twenty five, twenty six and twenty seven have been learning about the traits of an effective leader. We read a couple of journals and answered some questions about how the characters showed the leadership trait. 

Here is an example of one of the templates I filled out with a buddy after we read The Ant Army:

Leadership Trait	Example of this trait What actions did the leader take? This action shows…(which trait?)	Why is this an example of this trait Why does…(action) show…(trait?)
Integrity	The leader and the rest of the ants were all being honest with each other	They could trust each other because they knew that everyone was trustworthy so they could be honest with each other
Trustworthy	They were being trustworthy because they were following their leader’s orders.	They trusted their leader and followed her orders
Resilient	The ants showed Resilience by not giving up even when they were about to get trampled.	This shows resilience because they didn’t give.
Active Thinker	They were being active thinkers by going for the food that was easiest to get.	This shows active thinking by checking to see if the lunch box was open in the bag on the ground instead of going for a different bag.
Goal Focused	The ants were focused on their goal and kept on going.	This shows they are goal focussed because they were aiming for their goal and nothing else.
Motivational	They were motivational because they might motivate people to try their best.	This shows that they are motivational because they might inspire others.

Junior Games

PLAYING GAMES WITH THE JUNIORS

Today the year 8's had to get into buddies. Emma and I paired up and organised a game of octopus for the juniors. We first explained the rules and then we played the game.  

Leadership In The Food Forest- Merit Evidence Getting Involved

IN THE FOOD FOREST, HELPING OUT AND GETTING INVOLVED.

Both today and yesterday the year 8's were working with the junior students in their classrooms and in the food forest.

Today my group started off in the garden and did some weeding and harvested corn. We had to be very careful because of the Nightshade berries. These berries were intertwined with the weeds and would be deadly if you ate them or if they got in contact with open wounds.

 It was hard work and everybody showed resilience because we didn't give up!

I kept a baby corn as a pet and it is very adorable.

My Student Led Conference

This is my Student Led Conference.

Goal Reflection

These are my goals I set myself at the start of term one  

1. Become a P.A.L and or Peer mediator
2. Achieve my Merit Excellence or Distinction                     
3.  Get better at maths

I think that I'm doing well because:

• I'm a Peer Mediator and P.A.L ( Physical Activity Leader )
• I got my Merit last term  
• I think I have improved on my math because I have almost reached the standard I'm aiming for.

My next step is to next year I will set more challenging goals E.g get my excellence badge.

Generalise properties of multiplication and division with whole numbers

W.A.L.T: Generalise properties of multiplication and division with whole numbers

The answer to this question is g *h = h * g. Here is a link to the website the teacher sent us. This is an example of the commutative property.

The answer to this question is 8 * 0 = 0. This is an example of the zero property. Find the link above :)

The answer to this question is identity. ( This is and example of the identity property! )

The answer to this question is distributive. ( An example of the distributive property. )

The answer to this question is ( d * f ) * g = d * ( f * g. ) This is an example of the associative property.

My solo level is extended abstract because I seek feedback how I can improve on my goal and can teach others to do the same. My next step is to get a new maths goal!
