How do we solve a tricky math problem as a group? 








Eluama’s family in Tokelau tell him to get some coconuts.
He climbs three different coconut trees. 
He climbed 3m up the first tree,
3.9m up the second tree and 2.2m up the third tree. 
His friend climbed 3 different trees.
The first one he climbed was 2.4m,
the second one he climbed was 3.3m
and the third one he climbed was 4.3m. 

Which of them did the most climbing that day? 
So first we write down the problem. Then we were comparing
the first tree that Eluama climbed which was 3m and the second
tree that he climbed wish was 3.9m so I added them together
which = 6.9m. At that point, we had to add the third tree Eluama
climbed, which was 4.3m so we add 4.3 to 6.9 and it =11.2  so
that is how high Eluama climbed. 
The first tree that his friend climbed, he went 2.4m up so
I add the first tree that his friend climbed to the second tree
that he climbed which was 3.3m and it =5.7. We added the
third tree that his friend climbed which was 4.3m and it = 10.
Next, I compared how high Eluama climbed which was 11.2 with
how high his friend climbed which was 10 the difference was
Eluama climbed 1.2m higher! 
      
I want you to know that I am good at asking questions
during maths because my group always gives me an idea
in my head. 
I am also good at working in a group because they will help
me when I need help in math and I can help them too.
The key competency I use was sharing my ideas with my
group that they know what I am doing or what I am
thinking. 
I want you to know that I need to work on being in the
waka
because I am always getting distracted by my
surroundings of my friends.
The key competency that will help me next time is
managing self so I can be in the waka.
 I want you to know that I find it hard to not work in a
group because I can't get an idea in my head.   
Sylvain’s Feedback
You were good at asking questions and sharing your ideas
because you can push the group forward.
You needed to work on taking more responsibility because
you get distracted from others.

  E T E U A T I A T T H E M A R A E . A t the Marae we had school there, but it was different because we had some activities like making matariki stars. Another activity was making a necklace and putting your dreams in it so it could come true and drawing samoan patterns in the marae. W e had some play outside but it was shute do, the game that I was playing outside was soccer with my friends Fares and Tuivasa. But before the soccer began, we made our teams but it was easy because the girls wanted to vs  the boys and the boys wanted to vs the girls so it happened. It was girls vs boys but it wasn’t a  challenge because most of the girls didn't even know how to play the game. The scores were 20 to 10  but it was a good game. After that the people that were going back to school to go home went back to school. But when they went to school it got boring because two  of them were my friends. The people who were staying stayed and went to the par...

Eteuati's Maths Learning Story.

Uati's math learning story I was trying to find out how much milk cartons will fit inside the box - the volume. First I tried to find out the volume of the  box to see how many milk cartons can fit inside the box. First I added the length, the width and the height because it is the volume of the box, but it didn't work so I used multiplication and it = 30492 and that was the volume of the box. After that I tried to find out the volume of the milk carton by also adding it, but it also didn’t work so then I used multiply   the length and the width and the height of the milk carton and it =135. So I worked out that I had to use multiply instead of addition to find out the volume of the box and the milk carton. When I worked in a group I was good at talking and taking risks and sharing my ideas because I was more confident talking with my group.       I need to work on  listening to ...
