Probability - Using Tables

This morning we have been looking at how to use tables to work out probability questions. So technically we have to in vision  we have rolled two dice we were given questions such as what are all of the possible outcomes or P (even total)? 

Reflection - I have learnt that you can use a table to help you work out how to find out all of the possible outcomes when using probability questions. 

Tree Diagram

Today we have been learning about how a tree diagram works and how to use it in maths. We use tree diagrams in maths to show all of the possible outcomes in a question. For example if I had 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes, how many possible outcomes will I have to create a outfit to wear? An easy way to find this out is to time 3 x 3 which is 9 x 2 which is 18 so altogether I would have 18 possible outfits to choose from to wear. I think I have learnt more about tree diagrams and have gained more of an understanding. 

Kiwiana

 

This term in social studies we have been learning about Kiwiana.  During the period of learning about this subject I have missed majority of what we have learnt. I don't really know what Kiwiana means to me because I cant really explain how something works or get the right words out in a sentence that makes sense. In class we have learnt a lot about Kiwiana, we even went on class trips to the Treaty Grounds (which I didn't attend) to learn about our culture a little bit more than we had already known. Which I suspect was a very great experience from what I have heard. This is what Kiwiana means to me I guess.  

My refection - I had learnt more about my culture than I knew about before which is surprising for me.

Probability

This week we have been learning about probability. I have not learnt as much as others in the class on this topic, however I have learnt some new yet challenging words related to probability. These words consist such as possible, certain, equal and much more. On Tuesday we have made a word art picture using the words we have learnt about this week. As the week goes on I will learn more about probability and will form more of an understanding.
