Inspiring Disabilities

Maths sample

WALT: Recognise and continue number patterns
For maths this term we have been learning a range of strategies to help us solve algebra problems. I'm most proud of the strategy I used and the two questions I used because it's something I learnt at home.
I was challenged by explaining the strategy to make you understand because I'm using letters not only numbers.
Next time I would like to do an even more challenging question.
I like the font and the way you made it creative.
Next time you can work on adding a bit more color. Salah.

Te Reo maori poster

Te Reo Presentation

WALT: communicate a message.

Description: We have been participating in 3 different workshops around colour, compositions and fonts.  We put these skills to use in a poster sharing our knowledge about Te Reo Maori.

Why? We have noticed that our posters are too cluttered and do not communicate a  message well.

Task: Make a poster about Te Reo Maori.

Criteria:

Message: My message is clear and purposeful.  Everything that is on my poster relates to my message.

Composition:  My poster is balanced.

Font:  My font is clear, readable and suits the message.

Colour:  I have used 2-3 colours that are complementary.  My background choice makes the text pop!

Accuracy:  All of the words on my poster are spelt correctly.

Evaluation:

1. What are you most proud of and why? I'm proud that I was able to use all of things that I learnt at the workshops on having a successful poster.

2. What challenged you the most and why? The background challenged me the most because I had to put enough yellow but the same amount of purple.

3. Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Using a maori sentence and using more words.

Feedback/Feedforward:

I like your background Josiah and your fonts you really did a good job applying what you learnt at the workshops. Next time you could do a sentence in maori like give me the scissors. Khobi.
