how to find perimeter and area

 Guten tag, for maths we learnt how to find perimeter and area. Perimeter and area are a type of measurement here is a example for area and perimeter.



In case you don't know which is which here is what area is for example if I had a triangle and these were the sides 5m, 5m and 5m so do 5m x 5m = 25m so 25m is the area. here is a example for perimeter we will use the same triangle 5m, 5m and 5m 5m + 5m + 5m = 15m so 15m is the perimeter.

Thank you for reading my blog, see you later.

STEM week Waikowhai student led Toolkits

 Hello everyone, on STEM week a.k.a science, technology, engineering and math week. The senior and middle block had student led toolkits. The kids who went to the first student led toolkit did a toolkit that they went to and the kids who presented on the first toolkit did the same toolkit. Me and Cole had done spheros last time so we did it again and we got to do it two times! There was 24 presenters and 12 toolkits. here are the toolkits: Drones, Google Form, Word Art, Music Lab, Webcam Toy, Makey Makey, Google Maps, incredibox, Book Creator, Brain Box, Piskel, Slide Animation and Sphero. Here is what I did.

The start went well but some people were putting a hand up in the air and I had to keep saying we will do questions at the end. Half way into the toolkit a different group the drones who were in the other half of the hall came in because the Drones ran out of power so the Spheros were full of people. Here is the slide that we used take a look. 



The next toolkit I went to was Piskel I was a bit late so I had to catch up. I made a dragon not my best piece of art but it's good. I had no idea what to do but the dragon flying slipped into my mind so I got on it fast. Here it is take a look.



Finally the last toolkit most of it was the same the Drones came to Spheros but this time we had the ramp out for everyone to use. I really really enjoyed the day and I hope to do this every year. Goodbye see you next time.
