10 x 4 -2 x (4) ➗ 2 ➗ ½ + 9
40-2 x (4) ➗ 2 ➗ ½ + 9
40-8 ➗ 2 ➗ ½ + 9

This week in Maths, Davies Maths group have been learning how to do harder BEDMAS problems. If you didn't know what BEDMAS is it stands for brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and finally subtraction. These are just a couple of BEDMAS problems that we have worked out individually. Have you guys learned BEDMAS, will you know what the will be before you have seen my working out?

BEDMAS Animation



Last week the Davies Maths group started an animation on how to use BEDMAS. We have learnt BEDMAS for a term and I think it is really fun and easy to do. I have put together 2 questions to show you what I have learnt about BEDMAS. If you think I have done it wrong or the question isn't right please tell me so that I can know my mistake and make sure I get it right next time I do BEDMAS. Have you learnt about BEDMAS before?

African Art

Africa

This term for Inquiry the Toroa hub has been learning about different countries. I have been in Japanese and Inuit/Canada. I posted the Japanese slide so if you want to see that you will be able to. We have been doing three sessions for each country. First, we learnt about Africa then we created an Adobe Spark to show our findings and what we have learnt about this country. Hope you guys enjoy learning about it. Have you ever been to Africa or ever learnt about it?

Afghanistan vs New Zealand


Hi everybody and welcome back to my blog, this is my second task for this week. This task was to get some photos and some words of what it is like and some restrictions from Afghanistan and New Zealand.  These are just some of the ideas that I thought of that were from these two countries. I think that Afghanistan is stricter than New Zealand because they don't have as many allowances. Have you guys been out of New Zealand and where have you gone?
