Mighty Maths

 This week for maths we started to do statistical investigations. My question was how much land did the maori loss from 1860-1939, I did it on a google sheet to start of with then we put it onto a slide here is my work.

 

What would you do if you had to make statistical investigation

The Mighty Dome

 The mighty dome

For the past 2 weeks the kaupeka hub has been task with creating something that you think would be good for Christchurch if you had unlimited money. we first started of reading two books to help figure out materials and building patterns then we could build a plan of what we wanted for Christchurch. Max and I create a multi-sport center with plants in the hallways with  a extinct area, a nearly extinct, and how we can save them area. anyway enough of me talking now to see the mighty dome.  

The best multi-sport facility EVER!!

 Hello good to see you again,

Hello for this week and next week we are reading and researching Christchurch building after the earthquake. we have been given a task to create a facility that you would think help Christchurch for the next upcoming earthquake. we had to read a minimum of 2 books to research and put your ideas on a doc it was a bit boring but it will help me when I am creating my facility, these are my notes. 

Book 1

• When the earthquakes hit there were not many places where could people could be together

• People wanted lots of green places for the whole family and a cafe with ramps so people people with wheelchairs could enter

• People wanted a dome so it would be secure

• It was made out of reused materials

• The dome would be powered by solar panels for reusable power 

• It needed to be warm and cozy 

• Use low energy light bulbs

• Eco Friendly

Book 2

• New zealand has a lot of native animals and plants

• 100 million ther ther 2 super contains

• New zealand is always changing

• when one of the super contains broke up one only things that were in new zealand were seals and bats

• Penguins are fierce predators 

• When organisms reproduce they are almost the same as their parents

• Penguins adapted to all things

• Climate change Kills

From one Pa to another

From one Pa to another

This week for math we learnt coordinates. we had to create a map with three different Locations, one going the most direct way from a pa in kaiapoi to Ōnawe Peninsula then the going only though the land and finally going across the water and our mission was You are the warriors chosen by your Rangatira to lead a rescue mission. You are safe at home at Kaiapoi Pa but have heard news of your kinsmen in distress. Ōnawe Pa is under attack and you must get there as soon as possible to rescue those who are under threat and help fight against Te Rauparaha’s advancing war party. You have been given the following brief.

1. You must measure distance between the two locations

2. What is the most direct route from one place to the other

3. What is the most direct route by water

4. What is the most direct route by land

Screen shot for number 2

This way takes 57.2 KM and we are heading southeast

Screen shot for Number 3

This way takes 116 KM and we are heading southeast

Screen shot for number 4

This way takes 62.7 KM and we are heading southeast

Do you know where a pa is?

Pa Week

 This Week we did something very different its called pa week. A Pa is a fortified village that the Maori used to defend from the British when they invaded New Zealand. 

Rounding and compensating

 

This week for math we did rounding and compensating, rounding and compensating is when you add a number to another number to make it easier to add but then you have to compensate the number that you just added and minus it of the other number.
