Areas
In room 5 we are learning about area. I know that a non-standard unit of measure is the same thing as a standard unit of measure but different size and a standard unit of measure is like centimeters and millimeters.

In this photo we were wrong
about our estimation because
6 not 5 students would fit in the
area or shape.In this photo we made a shape and an
estimation of how many people could
fit laying inside the area. We were trying
to find out the area of our shape using our
body. This is a nonstandard unit of measure.

My Golden Gaols
In room 5 it was a new term so we wrote our goals. We wrote writing, reading and maths.
My goal for writing is to make paragraphs with ambitious vocab so I will put in 5 ambitious vocabs in it. This is important because if I have it the people who are reading can be more interested. The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be to use thesaurus.com and use the word pyramid. I know I have achieved my goal when I check it and find 5 ambitious vocab words.
My goal for Reading is to learn new tricky words. This is important because when I can read I can understand the story more better. The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be to sound it out, read the word, ask a buddy and check in the dictionary. I know I have achieved my goal when I read a story and answer the questions right.
My goal for Maths is to answer faster in my basic facts test and get a high score. This is important because I can know that I have learnt my addition, subtraction, times table and divided bys. The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be to ask Mrs Richardson to give me one of the basic facts test so I can practice more and more at home. I know that I have achieved my goal when I can get 100/100 and finish under the time of 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
