WALT - Engage our readers by using precise language in our writing
"I was travelling in the 'Radio-Flyer and I was chatting to my granddad about aliens. Without warning the swing set, not far from where we were sitting, disintegrated into thin air, we were in space. Suddenly three huge scary UFOs appeared out of nowhere. The aliens looked like they wanted to take us to their leader or something. We dashed away like lightning trying to evade them as they chased us through space. In the distance there was a huge ship, it looked like the mother of all UFO ships. The ship fired up its massive laser guns and aimed at us, we thought for sure we were going to die.
But it was just my imagination and it was just my dad coming up the the driveway.
This week we have been learning to use precise language to engage our readers.
I am a Year 8 student at Pt England School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 3 and my home class teacher is Mrs Tele'a.

Speech writing
We are learning to create and write our own speech that will capture the audience attention.
During this session we learnt that, you have at least 7 seconds to get your audiences attention,and at least 30 seconds to whether they will listen or not, we also had to start with a powerful statement, personal story or a thought provoking question . Our speech was based on graffiti, tell us... Is Graffiti art or Vandalism??

Mean,Median,mode,range
Statistics name: Hosea
WALT- Identify the mean, median and mode within a collection of data
Activity One
Answer the questions in a different colour
The definition of the mean in a statistical investigation is commonly referred to as the average. It is the total of all the data divided by the amount of data shown.
For example: if we have this range of data 3,5,7,1,2,3,6,8
3+5+7+1+2+3+6+5 = 32 = 4
8 8
- Find the mean in this set of numbers:
3,7,8,4,2,6,5,4,3,9 = 51÷10 = 5 r 1
- Find the mean in the set of numbers
4,12,5,6,11,9,5 = 52 ÷ 7 = 7 r 3
- Find the mean in this tally chart

- Find the mean in this set of numbers
24,12,16,18 70 ÷ 4 = 17 r 2
- Find the mean in this set of numbers
5,9,12,4,10,7 47 ÷ 6 = 7.r5
- CHALLENGE QUESTION: Find the mean within this data, use the frequency table to help you
1,5,5,2,1,2,5,5,5,5,1,2,1,5,5 50 ÷ 15 = 3 r 5

Activity Two
Answer the questions in a different colour
The definition of the median is the middle number within a set of numbers that have been put in order from size (biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest)
For example: 2,6,4,1,9 = 1,2,4,6,9 and the middle number is 4.
BUT say if there is more than one middle number… the median is found by taking the number midway between the middle pair of numbers:
3,6,1,4,9,2 = 1,2,3,4,6,9 → 3 + 4 = 3.5

Find the median in these sets of numbers
- 10,14,17,12,19,11,16
- 10,11,12,14,16,17,19 = 14
- 34,42,37,31,40 = 37
- 31,34,37,40,42
- 101, 167,138,124,198,149 = 143.5
- 101,
- 54, 58,52,57,53,60 =55.5
- 52,53,54,57,58,60
- 1001, 1094, 1023, 1065, 1038, 1027, 1042 =1038
- 1001,1023,1027,1038,1042,1065,1094

Activity Three
The mode is the most frequent number in a set of data. The number that occurs most often.
For example: In a set of numbers 3, 7, 8, 4, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 9 there is two modes, 3 and 4 because they appear twice in the data set.
Note- There can either be 0, 1 or 2 modes. If there are 3 or more numbers occur the same number of times, there is no mode.
Find the mode in these sets of numbers
- 2, 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 3 ,9 = 3 , 5
- 1, 5, 3, 2, 9 ,4, 1, 6, 8, 0 = 1
- 23, 45, 78, 12, 45, 67, 32, 46, 93, 12 = 12
- 101, 121, 123, 145, 167, 121, 139, 145, 176= 121
- 394, 273, 219, 294, 183, 291, 273, 288, 271 = 273
range
- 32, 34, 37, 40,41 =9
- 92, 94, 96, 98,100 = 8
- 69, 72, 74, 76,79,80 =11
- 52,54,55,57,58 = 6
- 111,112,115,120,125 =14
