This is my friend Thomas and me warming up. We're practicing our swimming. I am so excited. We start at 10:10, WOW look at the time it's 9:45. I better get ready. It's our turn now. Here as I hop in the pool I feel the chill running through the water. ON YOUR MARKS GET SET GO!!! Here we go racing through the water, I'm doing freestyle as I race through the water, I come out of he pool and I'm running to the Transition Area. I dry myself of then I put on my top and then put on my socks and shoes then I put on my Helmet. Then a way I go to bike, along the Manawatu river track and back through the esplanade. Now it's time for the run.

OH MY GOSH it's so hard to run after biking and swimming. Here I come about to finish. FINISHED!!!!

Learner Dispicitions

I think that I am a Self Managing learner because I can manage my time well

Time: Manage my timetable

Be responsible for my learning.

Choices: Sit in a space that will drive my learning

To be able to move to being a Self Directed learner I must always do the right thing and always be ready for my learning.

Time: To always manage my learning and always be on task

Choices: To always be able to sit somewhere and get my work done

This is what I am going to do to move to being a Self Directed learner: I have to do things by my self

Statistics

WALT calculate the mean, median, mode and range for a set of data.

TASK Elly and Troy want to find out once and for all:

which Activity Group has the overall best score, (mean)

which Activity Group has the highest middle number, (median)

what score was the most common, (mode)

which activity group has the highest range. (range)

In everyday life people collect data to look for trends and make decisions. In order to analyse the information, we need to understand the different ways to lOOK at the data.

Success Criteria you will know you are successful when:

calculate the mean by adding up all the data (9 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 30) then divide the total by how many numbers there were (9, 4, 4, 5, 8 = 5 numbers so 30 ÷ 5 = 6).

calculate the median by ordering all numbers from smallest to biggest then selecting the middle number (4, 4, 5, 8, 9 = 5 is the middle number). If there are 6 numbers e.g. 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, then the median is halfway = 5.5.

calculate the mode by identifying which number occurs most often (4, 4, 5, 8, 9 = 4 because there are two of them). You can have more than one mode.

calculate the range by finding the difference between the highest and lowest numbers (9 - 4 = 5).

Data: 12, 29

Mean: 21

Median 4

Mode

Range 17

Data: 36, 46, 12, 29, 39, 17, 32, 22, 0, 0, 7, 23

Mean

Median 22 1/2

Range 46

Mode 0
