Ancient Greek Olympics

LI: To give a presentation on the Ancient Greek Olympics

(PREZI LINK)

Last week, LS2 gave presentations to the class about what we know on the Ancient Greek Olympics. For this task, my group used Prezi to present and recorded a Screencastify to present to the class. Prezi is a good way to keep your audience entertained by animating the different areas of your slideshow.

We talked about what the Ancient Greek Olympics was and what took place on the five days of the Olympics. We also gave 5 fun facts about the Ancient Olympics.

I enjoyed this because it was fun to present and learn about the Ancient Greek Olympics as well. One fun fact that I learnt about the Ancient Greek Olympics was that one athlete trained by lifting a bull calf everyday until it was a full grown bull.

Athletes at the top of their field train both physically and mentally because it is both the body and the mind that need to be healthy to have balance as an athlete. It is important to enjoy and celebrate the results of what hard work has led to since it might be a one time opportunity. Olympic athletes that have earned a medal should be proud of themselves, and olympians that have unfortunately lost should be grateful for the opportunity.

Olympics Challenge 3

 LI: To find the most efficient strategy

Since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are going on at the moment LS2 are doing maths tasks related to the Olympics. For this olympic challenge we had to find out how many right angles were on a olympic badminton racket. Our clue was that there were 250 squares on the racket. The strategy that we used was multiplication. When we finished our DLO we made a screencastify explaining our strategy. 

Olympics Challenge 2

Since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are going on at the moment LS2 are doing maths tasks related to the Olympics. This task was about the difference between the bronze, silver and gold medal winner scores. My strategy was to add 00.001 on to the silver medal winner score as the gold winner won by 00.001 point!

Since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are going on at the moment LS2 are doing maths tasks related to the Olympics. This task was about Michael Phelps, he is a competitive Olympian that attends swimming. Every stroke he takes moves him 2 meters, he competed in 8 seperate events during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. All of the races add up to 1.5km, since every stroke takes him 2 meters, you'll have to divide the total by 2 which results in 750.
