Problem solving

What is problem solving and does it only happen in maths?

Problem solving is finding out the best strategies to use when trying to find an answer to a question. Problem solving also means learning new maths  knowledge and finding a solution to something .

Problem solving doesn't only happen in maths it can happen anywhere problem solving can happen at home when you're trying to solve something to do with homework or if you are at the shops and you're trying to figure out how much money you need or how much you have, problem solving can happen outside of maths too.

This morning I did maths quick writes, maths quick writes is when there is a maths question and we have to answer the question and write a paragraph about it. Today the question I did what is problem solving and does it only happen in maths. Problem solving is finding different solutions to questions or problems,in my opinion I think that problem solving doesn't only happen in maths it can happen any where for a example at the shops you are doing problem solving by figuring out how much you need to by a item or how much you have.  The reason why we do maths quick writes is because so we can better at telling other people what we did to solve an answer in maths.

New flag results

Yesterday the students of PBS voted for the new NZ flag that they will like to be the new flag for NZ there were 5 flags to choose from the Blue and black fern the red peak the black and whiter koru pattern the silver fern black and white and the silver fern red white and blue. Out these flags the one that got the most votes was the silver fern red white and blue flag which got 87 votes out of 232 kids. The second one that got the most votes was the blue and black fern which got 60 votes and I also voted for that one. The third was the silver fern black and white which got 50 votes and then the red peak which got 25 votes and the last one that only had 10 votes was the black and white koru pattern.

Choosing a new flag

Using google drawing my group and I made this DLO about choosing a new flag.   morning my class did 4,3,2,1 the way this works is we got 4 minutes to read the information about all of the five chosen flags, then we had three minutes to find a partner and talk about the flags we like, and give them a reason why, when we did  that the we had two minutes to talk with a different partner about the one flag we like and 1 minute to get into a group of four explain to each other why we liked that one flag and give me a reason.
Out of the 5 flags the one I like best is the silver fern (black,white and blue)
the reason why is because I can see my culture shown in the flag and because I think the flag will good shown around the world and it is easy to be recognise as a NZ flag because of the fern.
