Week 4 - Maths Week Ponder

Kia Ora Bloggers,

This week we are participating in Primary Science Maths week.  You can find out more by visiting this website: www.mathsweek.co.nz.   There are heaps of exciting activities and challenges to complete.  The books that we are reading this week will also look at different parts of Maths.  

Today, we started the article Amazing Algorithms.  It got us thinking about what algorithms are and how often we use Maths every day.  This week, our blog ponder is to think about the times that we use Maths during our day.  


Have a think and add your ideas to our blog ponder. Remember to think carefully, add your ideas in one post in a Cybersmart way and then get a buddy to check your comment before you post.  We look forward to reading your ideas

  2. Algorithms are a step-by-step list of instructions or a recipe. They are like a big maze that you just can't solve but if you use an algorithm you can definitely solve.Maths week is one of my favorite weeks because it is a very brainy week and it can get you thinking of how mays way to do it.

  3. This week is maths week. I used maths in the morning for a lot of stuff like making my bed and brushing my teeth and lots more. You might think that the things I'm doing is not maths but it is an algorithm which is a step by step process for anything you do. You might even make a cake with a recipe. Algorithms are used a lot of the time and you don't even realise.

  9. I think that Algorthm is a code or recipe like for example you may of brushed your teeth or done your hear and you could have taken your dog for a walk stuff like that. You do not no when you are doing a Algorthm. A Algorthm can help you get through a maze.

  12. We Have Used Maths To Learn About Algorithms. Algorithms Is A Word That Means The Steps You Do. Like For Example Have You Followed Steps About Baking A Cake Or Lasagna? Well That Is What You Call Following Algorithms. So Remember When You Follow Steps You Follow Algorithms!

    1. Hi Josiah and Lucas (and the rest of Year 3 at Wigram Primary). Our maths week fun was cut a bit short because we are back in lockdown in Auckland and learning from home. That makes doing some of the Maths Week activities a bit harder! We were doing the Chase and Survivor Series each day in class. By the end of the week, some of us were still making (imaginary) money on the Maths Millionaire activity too. What were your favourite problems during Maths Week?

  21. Fakaalofa lahi atu Te Ana Ako! It's Rudy from Te Waka ako and what a cool website.

    We have also been doing Math's week as well. I really like your ponder and comments about how you used Math's today. How did you use Math's today? I used the piano as math's. Your blog post is full of Amazing information and how you described how you used Math's. You can use math's with anything! You described Math's week really well, maybe next time you could use full sentences. Overall, Stunning! Have a great weekend and keep safe!
