Trickshot Challange

Yesterday Te Ngahere did a Trick Shot Challenge, to do this we
had to find a way to get a ping pong ball into a plastic cup in the
most creative way possible & it had to be at least 3 seconds.
The one we did yesterday wasn’t as creative as we would like it
to be but it took a very long time to get into the cup, we put it
down a rail & we bent the cardboard so that the ping pong ball
didn’t fall out, so it wasn’t very creative.  So today we made
another one that was a bit  harder & more creative, we put the
cardboard down the stairs, we left a few stairs not covered so
that it would bounce off some stairs, roll down the cardboard &
land in the cup, we assumed it would be a bit easier but it
seemed to take a long time & was NOT that easy.

Arms & Legs Everywhere

Yesterday in class we were learning to use our maths eyes in our
everyday life . We did this by looking at a picture of 12 gingerbread
people and writing down what we could see in the picture, here is what
my buddy and I saw using our maths eyes. All these gingerbread
men/woman have 2 m&m’s which are used as buttons, Each
gingerbread person has what we think is chocolate as a hat and shoes,
Each gingerbread person is lined in an array of 4x3/3x4, There are
48 limbs, 24 buttons(the m&ms), 12 hats and 24 shoes  all together.

What I found hard about this was when the teacher said
“Do you notice anything” I was trying to look for a pattern.
What I found easy about this was after I figured out that I didn’t have
to make a pattern I started noticing lots of stuff. What I think could do
better next time is if I need help I should ask. 

How often do you use your maths eyes?
