My Perfect Education.

In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to pronounce Maori properly on a site called education perfect. Education perfect is a site where you can learn multiple subjects like algebra, history and languages. We had to do language so we could learn how to pronounce the Maori language. We were learning how to say things like place names,te arapu Maori(alphabet in Maori), greetings and things like that. What I thought I did well was being able to listen and see if I was saying the words correctly, but maybe next time I can work on slowing down and taking my time to say words with macrons like Māori.

Have you ever heard of education perfect?

Surfing A Smart Wave.

Yesterday in Te Ngahere  we were doing something called smart surfing, smart surfing is how we learnt to keyword search. Don’t worry I’ll tell you what a keyword search is. A  keyword search is when you search something in Google by using keywords, also you’re not supposed to write words like how, what, do, did, or is . We found that typing keywords alone is better than writing the whole sentence because if you’re writing a question like what does a cat eat it will show up with a lot of links that have the word what multiple times in the text. What I found hard from this piece of work was having to find what were the keywords but beside that everything else wasn’t to hard.

Have you ever heard of keyword searching?

 What’s The Point

In Te Ngahere I have been learning how to use place value to add decimals to 2 places.  The easiest way for me to add 2 decimals together is pulling the number behind the decimal point(which is the tenths column) away from the whole number in both of the numbers then add them together separately. I think this is the easiest way for me to add using decimals any number over 0.9 is a whole number and adding numbers like 0.4 + 0.9 is easy  because I know how to do that, my teacher showed me how to use this strategy. I found it hard trying to do this at first because I just learnt how to do this yesterday (29/03/21) but once I got home my mom showed me an easier way to find the answers for addition decimals.

Do you know how to solve any decimal equations? Here’s a photo of my work---->
