Ugene Maths Learning Story

Ugenes Maths Learning Story:

In maths, we have been learning how to cooperate together and share our ideas with our math group.

Maths Problem: Rico builds a string of beads using 3 colors, starting with white, black then red then repeating the pattern.

The answer we were trying to figure out in this problem is ‘what the last colored bead?’ First I went 103 divided by 3. We then went 3 x 30 = 90 because we were trying to figure out the groups of 103, from our prior knowledge we knew there were 13 beads left over.

We were trying to figure out how many groups of 3 are in 13. We then found out the answer to ‘how many groups of 3 are in 13 which was 4.
The given answer was 4 and this is how we all worked together to solve a problem.

I was good at:

  • Sharing my own ideas
  • Working passionately with my group
  • Listening to other group members ideas and adding on
  • Agreeing and Disagreeing with others.

I need to work on:

  • Thinking about the problem carefully so I am informed as to what’s going on.

Ugenes Athletic Story: Today I was exhausted, tired and sore. If you are still wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about 'Athletic Days’ My first activity was discus throw where I got bronze. I was good at cheering people on and using the right arm technique so I can throw the discus further. Something I liked was sprint's/long distances. At the end of the activity, I was sweating with tired legs. In sprints, I got silver and gold for long distances. I was good at not worrying if I was coming last I still persevered and kept on running. The activity I didn’t like was high jump I found it difficult to lift my leg and to jump high but the skill I used was to ignore any distractions happening and focusing on getting myself over the pole.

The technique I used was keeping my throw straight and not aimi...
