Maths DLO

WALT: To present a DLO to the class teaching them how to do maths. 

This is my DLO (Digital Learning Object). I had to present it to the class with Lucy.

I chose to do short division because I already knew how to do it so it was easier to write about.

The hardest part was explaining it to the class because I don't like reading things out loud. My favourite part was choosing the backgrounds and the layout and when it was over. To be BTB, Better than Before, how to do division with a remainder.

Maths Challenge Cards

This is my Basic Facts Challenge Cards slide. I had to complete each slide, but I didn't complete the last one because it was too hard. I did try it a few times but got just too annoyed.

This wasn't too hard, except for the last slide. You just had to take a while. My favourite slide was slide number four. You had to use the numbers 1 to 9 and try to make a number close to 1500. I got 1495. To be BTB, Better Than Before, I could have added more of an explanation to each of my answers.

Paralympic Maths

This is a maths activity I did about the Paralympics. I had to present the information in a graph or chart.
The hardest part was figuring out how to actually make the graph. Once I'd figured that out, I changed a few settings and it was easy.
My favorite part was changing the looks of the graph. To be BTB, I could have made the writing bigger.

Delta Questions

These are the five questions I would ask Jacinda Ardern and/or Ashley Bloomfield about Delta Outbreak if I ever got the chance. 

The hardest part about this was actually thinking about it and seeing what I would actually want to know. I don't really know much because I haven't really researched it. My favorite part about this was reading a few articles about it. They were cool because you could see what other people were doing, and see what you would do. To be BTB, Better Than Before, I could have added more colour or added research about the questions.

My Board Game

This is my board game for technology at the Grey High that Lucy and I are making. We are in Digi Tech this term, and are making little 3D printed animals to use as the "players". It's really simple: You roll a dice, go forward, and do what the square you land on says! If you land on a purple square and take a card, you do what the card says. Some cards say "Take another turn", and others say "Go backwards 3".

My favourite part of making this was making the little 3D animals. We have a gecko, a fox, a dolphin, and a duck. We coloured them in with felt pens so they look more realistic. The hardest part was cutting out each and every card. We had 30, and they all were really fiddly to cut out. To be BTB, Better Than Before, we could have added more spaces or made the game harder because it looks really easy.

5 Ideal Careers
