Geometry - Orientation!

Walt: Understand and use positional vocabulary.

Task Description:
For this weeks task we are learning about geometry - orientation. What could this be? Well continue reading to find out.

This week we got to do orientation. Which means we made maps , answered questions related to maps , and had to understand the main directions words mean. The first slide we had to understand meaning of a couple of words before starting to create maps or understand maps. By understanding the words we were given we will know more information about using a map and answering questions or even creating questions. 

We also got to answer questions from a pre made diagram of a made up class. The questions that came with the diagram of the class room were easy as I understood what the questions meant. After we got to answer some questions we got to create a diagram of our own class! This task was fun as I got to made a diagram and I got to answer questions. 

Our next task was to use another map we were given and answer another set of questions on the following slide. These questions were difficult because I didn't understand what they meant and how do I answer them, for the answers I tired as best as I could.

Our last task was to create our own map with around 10 streets and 8 main features on our map. Once we drew out our map we would have to give directions to get to all 8 features for our buddy to complete.

I really enjoyed this weeks math's task because I got to map makes , answer fun questions and got to work with people in my math's class. I hope we got to opportunity to work on these types of math's task again.

Walt: Interpret figurative language.

Task Description:

This week we are reading a new book called " Tsuru no ongaeshi , The grateful crane." This book we read today is based on a beautiful Japanese Crane gifting an old couple from helping the Crane from a trapped net.

Our task this week was to understand our book this week. By answering questions from the book we were given. The questions that our teacher gave were easy as I did understood the book this week.

Another task we had to do is create a book review based on this book. When I was writing my book review I re wrote the story to share with younger kids at my school.
