In 3\4 MJE we are making picture story books. On Friday we are going to present to the preps. We think it will be a bit embarrassing.
But we have to do it. We wrote it first and then we made a hard cover. On the last hour we are going to read to them.

The people in it are George, Theo, Digory, Hugo, Harry, Josh and I (Nick).I cannot tell you any more except this: it is going to be hectic! We have been practising in the gym at recess and sometimes at lunch. If you are going to camp with group one than look out it is going to be. By Nick & Hugo K

CONSTRUCTION
Last term I have been making a bike with Mohamed and Joseph. We used cardboard wheels and a seat and handlebars. We used the hot glue gun. The hardest part was gluing the parts on the bike. The easy part was painting the bike.

KFC MAN
|
Last term me and my friend Michael had we wrote a fiction story about KFC MAN. It’s about a person named Sam, he ate KFC and in the morning he was strong as hulk and he named himself KFC MAN, He as a sidekick named popcorn chicken man it took us a lot of time write it and it was a lot of thinking too. If you are interested, please click on the link and you will be able to read our story. If you would like to see the pictures, you will have to visit the classroom and see our finished picture story book.

Below are some student examples of Mathemtaical Problem Solving Tasks students have completed.
In order to solve a problem it is important to first come to terms with what the problem is about. Once you have gained an insight into the problem then you are able to plan for how to solve the problem. When the plan has been carried out it is important to look back over the problem to clarify that the soloution matches all the criteria within the question.
1. Understand the problem
2. Devise a plan
3. Carry out the plan
4. Look back and check

| Marcus read the maths problem solving task to pick out the important words, we call this 'understanding the problem'. He was able to come up with a succsessful soloution by modeling the problem using the statagy of drawing. |
 |
| Jarrah also picked out the important words so that he understood the problem. He was able to come up with a succsessful soloution by modeling the problem using the statagy of drawing. Jarrah also looked back to ensure that his soloution matched what was asked of him within the problem. |
 |
| Hamish & Viarne worked togther to solve a problem that required them to model the problem using concrete materials (they used Unifix cubes). This helped them to solve the problem but they then needed to record their solution. They decided to write the steps down. Once they had solved the problem they wrote a few reflctions on what the key factors were that helped them to come up with the soloution. |
 |
| Payam and Caitlin also succsesfully solved the problem in a similar way to Hamish and Viarne. To record their answer they used a diagram. K stands for kids and A stands for adults. |
