What is Problem Solving

What is Problem Solving? Does it only happen in maths?

Have you ever asked yourself what is problem solving? I think problem solving is trying to find a solution or answer to the problem. What do you think it is?

 Do you think problem solving only happens in maths? I say no because you can use problem solving in everything.

Eg: The All blacks and Australia were playing against each other Australia was winning because they had 35 points and the All blacks had 6 how much more do they need to catch up.

This is my problem solving we had 20 minutes to write about what is problem solving and is it only used in maths. After that we had to work with a critical friend and wrote a comment on each others. What I think problem solving is trying to find the solution to the problem. I say no because Problem solving is all over the world it's not just in mathsWhat do you think do you think yes or no?

We had 4 minutes to read and learn more information about our topic, 3 minutes to discuss which flag you want with a partner and why, 2 minutes to share your opinion again with another partner, 1 minute to share your opinion with a group of 4.

Dear Term 1 Me

You have achieved some of the goals I have set for you. You have improved in your maths & reading. This year my netbook wasn’t working and had to go get fixed and it stopped me from learning. I’ve had a great year and ready for next year. Next year I'm gonna try to be the best I can in class and try to improve more on my learning.

Story Swap

"Where am I?" I questioned myself. As I looked around, I felt like I was being followed. I had never seen such a strange looking house before. I slowly crept towards the house hoping I wouldn't make a sound. Words rushed through my mind asking me if I should step back or take a risk. So I made a wise decision. Suddenly out of nowhere, the door slammed shut! My whole body started trembling. Every step I took, made me more curious. I had no other choice, so I sprinted inside the mysterious building as it felt more safe than being alone outside trapped in the darkness. The lights kept switching on and off. I only took a short glance around the room. The room was blank...

This is a short recount that Sajiha and I wrote. Our task was to take turns in writing a sentence each about the picture above. This helped us with writing a proper recount which we will be doing in a few weeks.  I found this very interesting because I had never done anything like this before and it gave us a good chance to work with people we have never worked with before!

Speech Reflection

This is my speech we were doing in class and my one is about why we should celebrate culture groups at school. 

My Speech

Malo Le Lei and greetings to you all! Think about your favourite celebration. Something very close to your heart. How would you feel if it was taken away from you? You would feel pretty sad wouldn’t you? Culture groups is something that is important to me, and I want it to be celebrated every year at school!

How fun does it sound having culture groups in your school? All schools should have a day each year where they celebrate all the different cultures! Culture groups are a good thing because it gives students a chance to learn about the different cultures and find out more on their own.

Culture groups interest people to learn about their identity and they bring all these different nationalities together. This would be an amazing opportunity for students to show their culture to others or discover more about it.

Culture groups are a fun and exciting way to learn. Students will be engaged in the learning going on, and it’s a great way to make new friends. Culture groups is something we need! Don’t you agree?

They can also learn about other cultures and take that learning everywhere they go. It’s a fun way to learn, and a lot of students here would love this idea.

Imagine never having the opportunity to express your independence. We should hold practises during lunches , so it doesn’t collide with our learning time. Then at the end of the term, we can present to the school our culture.
