Toothpick patterns!

Hello blogging world! This week Manukau did maths. for maths we had to get toothpicks and make patterns out of it. Firstly we had to get a algebra figure it out book and we have to answer all of the page 5 questions. After that we had to make our own patterns out of toothpicks for other classmates to work out. Me, Ashana and Lily made a slide together and we had to answer all of the questions from each person. Under this text is my maths.



If you haven't already seen the answers try answer the questions by commenting. From making this toothpick pattern I learnt a easier way to find the answer to these questions. It was hard to think about a type of pattern to do because, our Chromebook can't take much if it is too big. It was easy to upload the photo and write the questions. I hope that you have enjoyed this blog post and would like to make one of these too! Please feel free to leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment just to improve my work! Bye! Bye!

Tent maths!

Hello blogging world! Last week Te Waka Ako made a toothpick and modelling clay tent for maths. Making this tent was really fun because we got to have the tent any shape. We first started off by doing some maths about tents in a maths book then once we have finished doing the tent maths the senior syndicate gathered up together and everyone each got a handful of toothpicks and 1 tube of clay to make their tent. Below this text is my tent it was not finished though but hope you like it.

From making this tent I have learnt that if you use too much clay at the top of your tent to hold up your toothpicks it will be too heavy for the toothpicks and the tent will eventually break or fail. Maybe next time I should try different and harder shapes to challenge my self. I hoped that you have enjoyed this blog post and will be inspired. Please feel free to leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful blog comment. Bye! Bye! Blogging world!
