I can read and interpret a range of graphs

I can read and interpret a range of graphs

For maths I have been learning to read and interpret a range of graphs. This relates to the National Standards as it meets the criteria of: Delete the ones that are not yours

• I can identify patterns and trends in context, within and between data sets (Year ⅚ standard)

Here is link to my Statistical Literacy spreadsheet Jakobs Statistical Literacy Year 7/8 Standard  which shows all of the graphs and tables I can read and interpret.

I have also compared and contrasted some of the graphs. Below are the links to them

• Example 1 https://docs.google.com/document/d/15cdqk4zPXno2lsrpG01XffNSCxifbfJXN9vVuNU6ooQ/edit?ts=57059e7c
• Example 2 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uszoat0NpikdAaqihBvSJz-nOppXe5wUGfl4ajNX2I8/edit

My next step is to use these in my leadership investigation next term.

WALT Know the relative size and place value of a positive and negative integers and decimals to three places.

Throwing,catching and striking.`

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.

Link to modelling book on online zone.  

My Strengths

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were hitting the ball and holding the bat.

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were throwing to the right target.

My Next Steps

To improve my striking of a ball I need to hit it further because I need to follow through

To Improve my catching and fielding I need to stand in the right position because I need to catch better.

L4 Author’s Purpose follow up	I can  describe how to identify author's purpose. I can describe the language used by authors to achieve their purpose.	I can compare and contrast language and ideas between texts with similar author’s purpose.
Text:Changing NZ's flag would be 'idiotic'	The author’s purpose is… Persuasive I know this because…. it's trying to get you not to change the flag.	Language used to support purpose. It has big bold letters for the important information.	Ideas used to support purpose. It gives you good statements for not changing the flag
Text:McCaw Backs Flag Change	The author’s purpose is…Persuasive I know this because…..I is trying to get you to change the flag	Language used to support purpose. It tells you that a New Zealand great says it is too much like the Australian	Ideas used to support purpose. “ The moment when he decided a new flag would be great for our country. Running out at Twickenham and seeing the two flags looking so similar. The silver fern has always been the special symbol on the All Black jersey that represents who we are as kiwis, so the new flag with a silver fern as a part of it would be a great option he believe.”.This is what he said.i
My Evaluation	After reading both texts and comparing and contrasting language and ideas used to support authors purpose) The text which I think most achieved its purpose was……… Changing the flag would be Idiotic	My reasons for this evaluation are…….. (list at least 3) Because it is more persuasive in the title. It is also more persuasive in the language. And it is more reasonable.

WALT I can evaluate the overall arguments and make an informed decision.

NZ Should Change Its Flag?

Reason/Evidence For Changing	Evidence Category (highlight)		Reason/Evidence For Keeping the Flag the Same	Evidence Category (Highlight)
