Hi Hunter,

I like how you have put some pictures inside of your pic collage to show the reader what you are talking about. I think next time you need to work on your background in your pic collage because it might suck the energy away from your writing and maybe next time you could add a bit more detail in your evaluation but apart from those 2 things great work Hunter.

You are a great role model for others!

My goals

Smart goals

My writing goal is to review and revise my writing to correct grammar, spelling and punctuation independently.

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because you need to have punctuation and I do not put it in my writing

I will accomplish my goal by the middle of team 3. By writing more and checking it for punctuation and spelling mistakes. I will now the spelling is right by checking it in the dictionary 

My reading goal is to identify an authors purpose and point of view when he is reading longer, more complex texts.

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because I do not get the point of most books.

I will accomplish my goal by the end of team 3. By having little steps and reading for half an hour every night.

My maths goal is to find the answer to two digit multiplication equations.

The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because we have been working on one digit muitiplication equations.

I will accomplish my goal by the middle of team 3. By having little steps and getting my mum to ask me   

 My times table.

Statistics

WALT calculate the mean, median, mode and range for a set of data.

TASK Elly and Troy want to find out once and for all: 

which Activity Group has the overall best score, (mean)

which Activity Group has the highest middle number, (median)

what score was the most common, (mode)

which activity group has the highest range. (range)  

In everyday life people collect data to look for trends and make decisions. In order to analyse the information, we need to understand the different ways to lOOK at the data.

Success Criteria you will know you are successful when: 

calculate the mean by adding up all the data (9 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 30) then divide the total by how many numbers there were (9, 4, 4, 5, 8 = 5 numbers so 30 ÷ 5 = 6).

calculate the median by ordering all numbers from smallest to biggest then selecting the middle number (4, 4, 5, 8, 9 = 5 is the middle number). If there are 6 numbers e.g. 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, then the median is halfway = 5.5.

calculate the mode by identifying which number occurs most often (4, 4, 5, 8, 9 = 4 because there are two of them). You can have more than one mode.

calculate the range by finding the difference between the highest and lowest numbers (9 - 4 = 5).
