How many heads are there ?

WALT: identify the maths in things we do on a daily
basis using our maths eyes.

This week we learnt about maths eyes and with this
specific task we used them to find the maths in an
image of gingerbread people then this is what we
found. The things I noticed on the gingerbread people
we're all these gingerbread people have 2 m&m’s used
as buttons, each gingerbread person has melted
chocolate as a hat and shoes, each gingerbread
person is lined in an array or 4x3 or 3x4, there are
48 limbs,, 12 hats and 24 shoes  all together and they
have positive and negative energy between the
gingerbread people which makes a cup.The hardest
part about this task for me was just trying to  write
down everything we saw on time at a standard. The
easy thing about what we did was everything we notice
could  count so it was easy to spot maths related
things
in the image.

Did you know how often you use your maths eyes?

Trick Shot Challenge

For the last few days here in Te Ngahere we got to try a trick shot challenge. In our trick shot challenge we got a ping pong ball, a cup and a piece of cardboard. Our goal was to try get the ball to land in the cup using our success criteria. Our success criteria was that the ball must bounce off a surface, you must use the piece of cardboard, it must take at least 3 seconds and it must land in the cup. The easiest part of this challenge was definitely having my friends in a group because they were a lot easier to work with in my opinion. The hard part was definitely trying to find the right angled surface to bounce the ball off off.
