For my friday’s first rotation I decided to do hit the button. I chose Doubles up to 500! It was fairly easy and I tried to see how fast I could click all the buttons. In the end I got 28 out of 28 (If you get one wrong it would look like 27 out of 28.) Next time I’ll try get 32.
For my IXL I’ve been learning about data, but for this specific IXL it was mean, median, mode and range. While doing the IXL I found it a bit difficult to understand what mean, median and range mean so I got a few incorrect but after looking at how I should answer the questions I realised how to do it! For mean, you add all the numbers together and divide from the numbers there for example. :
5 4 5 5 7 5 3 /// add those numbers together and divide by how many digits are there so
5+4+5+5+7+5+3 = 28 , Now divide by how many digits are there so : 7 now 28 divided by 7 = 4 and that’s the answer.
But that’s just one example, here’s the example for Range and Mode
Mode is the second easiest and range being the first easiest Ill show you why : Mode means the most consistent or frequent / common number that shows. Here’s a math example :
2 2 1 2 4 5 7 4 7 2 /// The mode here for this example would be 2 since its the most frequent one and shows up the most
Range : Range is the easiest one because it’s very simple all you need to do is find the highest number and subtract that number by the lowest number. Here’s an example :
9 3 4 5 4 2 4 5 6 /// The range for this example would be 9 – 2 because 9 is the highest number and 2 being the lowest. Now after subtracting you’ll get your answer which would be 9 – 2 = 7, so the range is 7!
Median : Median is quite easy all you have to do is sort all the numbers from lowest to highest and the number in the middle is the Median here’s an example :
7 5 5 6 4 6 4 2 1 3 8 9 /// After ordering them from lowest to highest here’s what it should look like :
1 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 8 9 , The Median would be 5. This one isn’t the hardest but its ranked 3rd difficulty just above mean as median is quite tedious. In case of Two numbers being in the middle, add them together and than divide by 2. There will be your answer.
This term was one of the best terms I ever had! I learnt brand new things in maths, reading, writing and more! To be honest celebrating Matariki was my highlight. I learnt about Matariki in different mythologies like Matariki in greek mythology. Out of all three terms I’ve experienced this has to be my favourite because of all the memories with my friends. This year has been extremely awesome I had lots of fun and enjoyed everything!
Can’t wait for next term!

(Guy with cool hair / 1st on the left : Vegeta – 2nd to last on left with blue arrow on head smiling : Aang. )
For Team – Tuis fun friday we are creating a matariki festival reflection. Here’s my example and what I really enjoyed
Last Week, Team – Tui went to Star – Dome to learn about Matariki and its origins. After having a scavenger hunt for “Knowledge” and looking around the gallery we went inside the theater. Above us (Technically the roof) was a giant dome TV. This is probably why its called “Star – Dome.” We learnt how to find Matariki, How and why Tawhirimatea threw his eye in the sky and how Matariki began. Here’s a image of us there!
Today Team – Tui is going to go to the Star dome! I’m really excited to learn about stars and space. Star dome is basically a space theme museum! We’re going to go see the Star Dome “Gallery” and “Dome.” The Dome will most likley show a video on stars and space. Can’t Wait!
This week Team – Tui picked their own Togan person to write about. I choose J.p Foliaki / John Paul Foliaki! The majority of schools known him from the movie Red, White and brass. Being the “Main character” he represented his own culture Tonga! I personally really enjoyed the movie because of the uniqueness and the humour.
Last week Friday, Team tui went on a Fun – Run near Pakuranga. I was in one of the sixth teams there! I was in the fastest boys group. it was really difficult and challenging but was extremely fun. Drinking some thirst quenching water at the end of the race had never tasted better.
To be honest I felt like giving up but I kept thinking “dont stop” “Dont Stop” “Dont stop.” So to help me run for more longer I distracted myself by singing a song in my head.
