Technology: Year 7 Our final outcomes

We visited our New Entrants and Year 1's with our finished outcomes 


they loved the fact that we now had put colour in our designs


they loved spinning this game and adding up the numbers


they made a train of number place value


this game was all about adding up candles


a more traditional game- the students had to use a dice which was new to them


our Samoan games


spin the wheel twice, find the matching cards and complete the sum


spin the wheel read the Samoan word and match the correct number-this game was great for our students who recently arrived at school


put the ice-creams in the bowls and complete the sum


this game became a board game- a dice and counters was used to count along the number line once it was created


our shop sells items that need paying for


we have coins to help us pay


match the Samoan butter and English jam answer to our toast questions


very visual


cookies and chocolate chips help our students with their math


matching the word with the value using trees

Technology: Year 7 Making our outcomes


We have been busy making our final outcomes


we are using the computers to make them to a high level of quality


we have to measure our prototypes then use rulers on the computer to measure our images


we have to be smart when using the computers


we use copy and paste a lot


this keeps our images, words and numbers consistent


it also speeds up the making process


once complete we print out the final outcomes


then we cut them and laminate them to make sure they are durable


some of our designs are too big to laminate in class- we have to use the library laminator


we learnt some new skills- how to draw on the computer


we had to be very accurate


we had to cut out carefully


we used scissors for outside lines and a knife, and cutting mat for inside lines






we had to be resourceful- we needed sides for our pool table


we needed balls for our table too


we used milk bottle tops


we tested our outcomes before we took them to the New Entrant/Year 1's
