Strengthening Connections To Maths Language

Today for maths we were learning about maths vocabulary, as an example we needed to think of all the different greetings that people use, from hi to namaste and even slang like gidday. Afterwards we needed to fill in a table with the maths related words next to it, in order to decide on where the words should go Te Pounamu, Joseph and I talked to each other and recorded our conversation with screencastify.

Oakley Creek

Today in reading our task was to first read a story about a girl who lies to her mum and sneaks off to a creek with her friends, in the end she gets caught and her teacher (who helped her mum find her) tells her that she's lucky to have a mum that'd go looking for her. Before she leaves the house and goes with her friends she's faced with a dilemma, which is a difficult choice between two or more options that you don't really want to happen. Faith (the main character) also feels guilty after she lies to her mum and when she gets caught. After that we were asked to draw guilt and a dilemma on whiteboards because they are two things that the main character felt/had. (The top photo represents a dilemma and the bottom shows guilt)
