Algebra Learning From This Term!

This Term lots of kids from room 10 have been learning algebra, We were learning the whole patterns and relationships! We were learning about Spacial and Linear Patterns and what differences they have within them.

We also had learned about creating rules for certain patterns to make it easier to get to a higher term!
(Very quickly) Here is a example:

Rule For this pattern: Each time it gets up in 1's and so if someone tells you to figure out what the 10th figure would be then instead of counting each and every figure you could just use the rule and say 16! (I know, i'm very smart!).

I look forward to learning more substitution in the future (Hint: I already know a lot :3)

6 Weeks Of Make It Sessions!

For 6 weeks we were doing a type of activity called Edible Arts/Make It Which is basically: every Friday all of Sheppard house will get together and a sort of workshop thing where we would build or create something! 

I myself was doing Make it, I  was working with a few others to create a waka made out of Popsicle sticks, Here is our basic plan that we created to make everything run smoothly and so we finish on time!

First 2 weeks: we plan out what how we will build the waka!

Second 2 Weeks: Start Building The main Parts

5th Week: We add designs on!

6th Week: Last minute fixing and Finish!

All Of this went to plan until the 6th Week because our waka (which was basically done) broke.....which was sad but still, it was worth the fun :)

Here are some pics of some of my friends creations of what they had made:
