Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021

Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021                                                    Name:Symphoné 


Criteria

Level 2 (5ii)

Early Level 3

Level 3

Level 4

Algebraic patterns

Explain the rule for a sequential pattern. 

Describe the rules for number patterns

Use tables and graphs to describe rules number patterns

Find rules and formulas for number patterns 


My Algebra goals: Use tables and graphs to describe rules number patterns.

Goal

Success Criteria (This is what it will look like when I get there)

I need to explain what the next term of a spatial pattern will be. Eg 

To achieve this goal I can say which is the next number, shape or character in the pattern or I know what the next number or shape will be in the next part of the sequence. Eg the next creature is a butterfly. The next pattern will have four triangles.etc. 

I can describe what must happen for the next pattern. For example 

To achieve this goal I can say what is happening in the patterns eg You add two matches each time to make the next pattern in the sequence. It is going up by 2 each time starting from 3.   

I need a strategy to continue a pattern without drawing or building every one.

To achieve this goal I will have a strategy such as a table I can use to work out how many matchsticks there will be needed to make 10 triangles. 


Triangles

1

2

3

4

5

Matches

3

5

7

9

11


Each time the difference gets bigger by one so I can work out the 10th pattern without building it.

I need to be able to use a formula to work out the 100th term in a spatial or number pattern

To achieve this goal, I can use letters to represent the term in a sequence that I get from looking at a table and building a formula.  


I notice if I double the number of triangles and add 1, I get the number of matches needed so m = double p plus 1. Eg 3 x 2 = 6 plus 1 = 7. 



Goal Setting in Algebra


My goal in algebra is To achieve this goal I can say what is happening in the patterns eg You add two matches each time to make the next pattern in the sequence. It is going up by 2 each time starting from 3. 


Algebra Reflection


Using the two tests, think about your strengths and which gaps you have sorted out. (goals you have achieved). To be completed at the end of the 3 weeks. 


Talk to someone about:


  • How you achieved them (you could talk about how quickly you achieved them, some of the learning qualities that helped you achieve them.) 

  • What strategies you now have to help you with algebraic problems. (use your rubric)

  • What worked well for your learning (what you did or what your teachers did)

  • What could have been better (what could you have done better? or what could your teachers have done better?)


Finally post on your Blog 


An Example 


Progress and what could have been better.


My goal was to use a table. For example 

I was working on using time tables and it also helped me with my tests a bit more.i can use a table a bit but i think i would need more practice on the table.and maybe next time i won't sit next to my friends. It was a good goal for me to use because now I know how to use the tables a little more than before. What I enjoyed about it was getting to know how to use a table for some of my learning. I think I have achieved that goal but will still need practice. 


What I think the teachers could do is help me a bit with the tables.

Fraction Reflection

Fraction Reflection 


This is an opportunity for you to reflect on your Maths teaching and learning this week.

You can then put it up on your blog. 


As a Learners: Symphon’e and Jasper


What did I learn during the two different lessons?

I did not learn much because it was not well explained.

Sylvie and Thomas didn’t really introduce the topic


What could have been better?

They could explain more than just giving us a worksheet straight away.


As a teachers

What were the strengths of my / our teaching?

My strengths as teaching was introduced the topic 


What could have been better? 

Maybe explain more as well as my last teachers.


What did I learn from being an observer? 

What I learnt was  lots of other things like what unit fractions.


Would you like the opportunity to teach children in another area of maths? Why or why not?

I would say no because I feel like I would not be able to take care of any of other people's learning.

Is music more important than sports?

 Is music more important than sports?

21/6/2021

Symphoné

Hello fellow people, I'm gonna tell you which is more important, sport or music. Let's find out,firstly sports is way more important than music because sports keeps you fit and on the other hand not music.Now music is all cool and that but all you do is like sing dance or just sit down listening to music.

And sports on the other hand perfect and actually fun just like music but sports helps you.they always say ïf you want to get fit al you got to do is call up to the gym or sports if you want to get in shape”funny right?because you could go on runs with your friends i would like the idea of that. I would go on a run with my friends. Oh and best of all you could try those thingys you always wanted to try like those things you run on whatever there called and um those um other things.


Secondly:but hey no hate to those people that like music i like it to. You could listen to music  you like and love. Anyway  back to the sport thingy.  games like rugby and football its the same thing as sports it involve running like bull-tag rugby football its the same just much better.


Thirdly: Any cow you could always join the gym or something i don't know but if you had to pick which one was better what would you pick. If i got to pick i would pick sports but i know i have already said this but it keeps you fit.


Anyway, NEXT! You  would get abs don't you want that because i would. Want them because i always love to run around my house. 


And could  get all your energy out and i know for a fact you would pick sports for sure but if you pick music  it's fun i mean  you could pick both i mean i would.


Fourthly:i guess i would because i do love music i mean don't get me started. Music is just like sports you could dance or sing because dance is sports and singing is just testing your voice to see how strong your voice could be and is you had to pick wisley well i'll actachally pick both because there both really fun.GOODBYE

THE END.

The Horouta Waka

The Horouta Waka

15/6/2021

Symphon’e

I think i should stay back at hawaiki

Here are my reasons. First of all, I'm scared

of dying. NEXT. chances are there might be a storm or other bad things might happen

on the horouta. And it could fall apart and I don't want to die.


 Secondly, I also might fall off the waka and I might have to look after the food,and mind

you I’m not good at looking after other people's food anywhere.


Thirdly when we go to sleep it might be uncomfortable. I usually talk a lot, people say.I also

Have trouble sleeping and I might keep the others awake and I don't want to keep them

awake because they have a lot to do in the morning and afternoon.


Fourthly because you might have to do dangerous things like climb trees and reach

for bananas everyday or night i don’t know.and there could be a big wave in the ocean and

you could drown for good and i don’t want that happening. 


Filthy there could be someone who needs to help out in hawaiki.


Finally  there could be a sea animal out in the sea and come out and kill me.

You would never put me on board that would be a bad cheif or will you.

Aviation museum

 Aviation museum

On tuesday we went to the Aviation museum and we saw lots of planes and old car well i think they were old cars.there were red cars grey cars and lots more. Then we moved onto the planes we saw Silver planes yellow and other ones,then we went outside to see the Rescue helicopter as you can see from the photo. It was very winding and cold. We got to spread out and put our hands out to our sides and spin around and around. We got really dizzy. We got to go inside and see a lot of things like planes and old cars. And we did more then we sat down for morning tea then an hour later we had lunch. After a while we went back to school. THE END

How does a butterfly life cycle  work 

1/6/2021

By Symphoné 

My goal is  to linking  words

First the little "butterfly" is in its tiny egg for a few weeks or so.


Secondly at the end of its few weeks it will hatch out and become a  caterpillar and then it will feed on leaves for about mabey four months .


Last but not least he'll begin to get a little bit fat and transform into an egg for another four months. After all of those months he'll hatch out of the cocoon but… he'll look different, he'll have wings he'll be able to fly around the world he'll be able to explore around the world he could go as far as he wants to.And that's how a butterfly's life works.

The End
