Adrienne- Inquiry Art / Kowhaiwhai Design

The artist I chose was the Suluape family they are famous for doing stuff like Pe'as(Tattoo) and Malu. They are so professional that they make sure that everything is perfect and also makes sure that all the lines are nice and straight. I bet you that most or nearly everybody trust people from the Suluape family for doing stuff like Malu's cause they are careful but also know what they are doing. I reckon that If was one of those girls who'd be dying to get a Malu at a young age I would be saving heaps of money just to get a Malu even tho it costs heaps of money. Many or some people celebrate after you get your malu or pe'a done.

DMIC Maths and Rotations

For the past weeks my maths class Rm3 has been doing DMIC. DMIC stands for Development Mathematical Inquiry Community. We have been doing this since the start of term 1. But in term 1 we had a different teacher so we had some changes we had a boys and a girls group normally everyday we would always switch and see who’s doing DMIC Maths and who’s doing Rotations.

What is Rotations?

Now I’ve already explained to you what DMIC is and now I’m going to explain to you what Rotations are. Rotations is what we do in class when you are not doing DMIC Maths with teachers. What we do for Rotations is DLO, Basic facts, or FIOP.

What is DLO, BASIC FACTS, AND FIOP?

If yous are wondering what DLO, BASIC FACTS, and FIOP is well I’m going to explain now.

No.1  DLO, DLO is what we call Hyperstudio once you get to year 7&8 the name will change and it will be a little different. DLO stands for Digital Learning Objects.

No.2  Basic facts, What is basic facts?...Basic facts is what you do if you can’t remember your Times table so then the teacher will tell you to learn it until you actually know them of by heart.

No.3  FIOP, What does FIOP stand for? FIOP stands for Finish it of properly our class always does FIOP our teacher always makes sure that all of our work has been upto date.

In our maths class we have a chart with all our names on it our teacher always makes sure that everyone is on the list and that nobody will miss out. So everyday my teacher will go on the random number generator and pick out who has to do their times tables. But there's only 1 rule and it is a very strict rule if you don’t learn your times tables and tell your teacher that you don’t know them you will be on Re-think.

What is rethink?

Rethink is what teachers in team 5 run it’s more like detention but you don’t really write down lines but you have to clean and rethink about what you did or why you didn’t do it.

So what do you say….Does your school do DMIC Maths or Rotations??

Read through my writing about DMIC Maths and Rotations and see if its a good idea for your school or not.
