Maths Challenge / Distance Learning

 LI:to understand the place values of tenth, one, hundred ect.

This week for our maths task we was challenged at writing down the largest six digit to the lowest six digit number. In this challenge the task at hand was figuring out the six digit number based on the clues given through the DLO. In between them were questions such as: Write down the largest six digit number with a two in the tenths place. I found this challenge interesting as I got to think harder about the number I was going to write down. 

Distance Learning - Explore tool and Google

 LI: to keep our learning going.

This is  my second distance learning challenge, for this challenge I made a google slid showing how to attribute with the explore tool and google.

The explore tool is a tool you can use to find images on your google slide or google draw. You can find this tool in the bottom right corner.

How to attribute:

Using the explore tool is easy, you go in the explore tool and search what you want. After you have found the image you want, you hover over the image and there will be a plus ( + ) sign and all you have to do is click the plus sign. The image will pop up with automatic attribution.

How to attribute with google:

You search any image you want to pick for whatever reason. Before you get any image you go to the top of your screen and press tools. After pressing tools you would see usage rights. Press usage rights and then press label for reuse. After pressing labeled for usage you can use the images you see. But before you get the image you have to attribute it. Pick any image you want to pick and click it then drag it to your google draw or google slide. Underneath the image you will see a world map and a text next to it, you have to press it. The link will take you to its site. You have to copy the URL by pressing, ctrl c. Under your image put a text box under it. Then press ctrl k and put the URL in the link section. Then in the text section write photo. Next you will have to find the author of the image and copy the name then link it in the text box. Lastly you will have to find the licence then copy the link and paste it in the text box.

Distance Learning - Cultural Art

 LI: to create a cultural design/pattern .

This is our first distance learning challenge of the week, we could choose any two challenges on our distance learning class site. I chose to do the Cultural Art, inspired by Raku Inoue. For this cultural art we were were asked to go in our backyard and find things we could make a cultural design or pattern out of. I chose to do a butterfly, because while I was finding things in my backyard one landed on me. to make this butterfly I used some flowers which I thought would look good on this butterfly. What I found fun was getting to explore my garden.

Homelearning Activity

For my homelearning activity I started off with doing Skyline Luge which is a kind of park or restaurant in Rotorua. The activities were actually made from students from LS2 so all these ideas were from the students. The first activity I did was to talk about why we wear helmets on the Luge Ride, and how it protects us and the problems we would face without it. The second activity told us to choose an activity from Skyline Luge, and add up all the cost of how much it would cost if our family went on every ride. Our bonus activity was to find out the distance from Auckland to Rotorua using plane and car, and we had to pick a transportation type and why.
