Future Aspiration

This morning, a bunch of people came to talk about their aspiration and their inspiration. Three talented people talked about their past, there names were Anthony Fakalata, Anthony Samuels and Amelia Unufe. Anthony Samuels was on the What Now back in the olden days. He told us a lot of quotes such To Miharo Hoki which is 'you are amazing'. Anthony Fakalata was a attitude presenter. Amelia Unufe was a fashion designer.

Film Festival - Manaiakalani

Without hesitation, I promptly leaped out of bed and opened the curtains seeing the sun shining into my bedroom. When I got into my school uniform. I was ready for the start of my acting debut. I was anxious because I was going to be acting in a movie on an extreme screen.

On the morning of the film festival the junior school attended the first session for the reason that is that our school is too big so we had to come in different session. The intermediate school had to go after morning tea until lunchtime. After we had morning tea we came back rapidly to class so we could go on the bus to the Manaiakalani film festival. There were three fairly old buses that arrived at our school.

Once we arrived at Sylvia Park we dantly formed 2 long lines. We all quietly followed Mrs Nua to the extreme screen. When my hand gripped the railing of the elevator, higher I went I saw the movies that was coming out soon. I rapidly made a dashed to the front of the line to get the front seats but when we went inside it was taken by the Sommerville Special School. So we had to sit on the seats in the middle.

When we were watching the movies my class’s movie was up first. I was really nervous because I was going to be in the movie. So I had to crunch up and hide myself from my friends. But when I came up, I wasn’t really that nervous because I didn’t really care. My favourite movie was the Bowl Cut from Class 4 for the reason that is because it included everything such as the animation, comedy, step by step on how to do a Bowl Cut.

After 21 outstanding movies, we all got out of our chairs quickly. We tiredly scrambled outside. After waiting for 7 minutes, the buses arrived to pick us up. Eventually we came to school and just then the lunchtime bell rang. The senior syndicate splitted up into their classes and ate their lunch.

At the end of the day, we all went home talking about other classes movies. On that night there were going to be another film festival except it would show all the favourite movies and our class were selected to be in the night shows.

Kowhaiwhai And Patterns

Read the following article and think about the issue.

http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/academic-takes-exception-air-nz-uniform-3345048

What was the opinion of Associate Professor Taonui?

The new cabin crew uniform is way too busy and while there is room to update and modernise, the pattern appears to have been thrown together like a poster in a child room

What do you think?

I think Associate Professor Taonui is right, the cabin crew uniform is way too busy. And they know don't know what motifs they have used.

Do some more finding out about Kowhaiwhai and patterns you find in pasifika cultures.

The Maori people brought a culture, which included Kowhaiwhai patterns, from Polynesia hundreds of years ago. There are Kowhaiwhai paintings that are over 500 years old still surviving today. The oldest known Kowhaiwhai are the patterns painted on the canoe paddles.

Now it’s your turn to be the designer.

Consider what you have read and found out…

Create a design that could be printed for a new piece of school uniform. You need to incorporate a cultural pattern in your design and be able to explain the components of your design.

Addition/Subtraction

Addition/Subtraction Stage 7 and 8

       

Solve the problems below. Try to use the strategy explained in the box above each question. Make sure you show all the steps you use to solve it.

               

Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative I can choose appropriately from a broad range of mental strategies to estimate answers and solve addition and subtraction problems involving decimals, integers, and fractions. I can also use multiplication and division to solve addition and subtraction problems with whole numbers.

Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative I can split decimal numbers in parts to solve addition and subtraction problems. e.g.a)  6.03 – 5.8 = __   as 6.03 – 5 – 0.8 = 1.03 – 0.8 = 0.23 (standard place value partitioning)  or b)2.36 + 1.27 = 2 + 1 = 3,  and .3 + .2 = .5,  and .06 + .07 = .13  So 3 + .5 + .13 = 3.63

                       

1. Shona needs a length of wood for some shelves. Her first shelf needs to be 1.27m long and the second shelf needs to be 1.86m long. How much timber does need altogether?

1.27 + 1.86 = 3.13

1+ 1 = 2

0.27 + 0.86 = 1.13

2 + 1.13 = 3.13

                           

2. She ends up finding 2 lengths of timber that are long enough but will have to cut them to the right length. The first piece is 1.5m. How much does she need to cut off it for the first shelf?

2 - 1.5 = 0.5

2 - 0.5 = 1.5

1.5 - 1 = 0.5

Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative I can solve addition and subtraction problems with decimal numbers by rounding and compensating. e.g.  a) 3.2 + 1.95 = (3.2 - .05) +  (1.95 + .05) = 3.15 + 2 = 5.15 Or b) 4.31 - 2.98 = 4.31 - 3 = 1.31 + .02 = 1.33

3. Dane was 1.46m tall when he last measured himself. He has since grown a further 0.47m. What is is height now?

1.46 + 0.47 = 1.93

-0.03     +0.03

1.43 + 0.50 = 1.93

4. When Dane was 1.46m tall his little sister was only 0.98m tall. How much taller was Dane than his sister?

1.46 - 0.98 = 0.48

+0.02 +0.02

1.48 - 1 = 0.48                       

Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative I can solve subtraction problems with decimal numbers by reversing to an addition equation then jumping up tidy numbers on a numberline (reverse and jump) e.g. 6.03 - 5.8 =  5.8 + __ = 6.03 5.8 + 0.2 = 6,  6 + 0.03 = 6.03    .2 + .03 = .23       So 6.03 - 5.8 = 0.23

5. Tiana has a container with 2.75 litres of juice in it. She uses it to fill a smaller container of juice that holds .985 litres. How much juice is left in the larger container?

2.75 - .985 = 1.765

0.985 +  = 2.75

0.985 + 0.015 = 1

1 + 0.75 = 1.75

0.015 + 0.75 = 0.765

1 + 0.765 = 1.765

Stage 7: Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative I can solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of unlike fractions by finding common denominators and partitioning e.g. ¾  + ⅝  =  (¾  +  2/8) + ⅜ =  (¾ + ¼) + ⅜ = 1 ⅜

6. Allanah has 3/4 of a one pizza left and 5/8 of another.  How much pizza has she got altogether?

3/4 + 5/8 = 1 3/8

3/4 + 2/8 = 5/8

5/8 + 3/8 = 1

3/4 + 1/4 = 1

1 + 3/8 = 1 3/8

  

                       

                       

                               

Stage 7: Advanced Proportional: I can use a range of mental partitioning strategies to estimate answers and solve problems that involve adding and subtracting fractions, including decimals. I am able to combine ratios and proportions with different amounts. The strategies include using partitions of fractions and “ones”, and finding equivalent fractions.

                       

e.g. 2 ¾ - 1 ⅔ = 2 - 1 and ¾ - ⅔ = 1 and 9/12 - 8/12 = 1 1/12  (finding equivalent fractions)

               

           

7. Tom knows that for every 20 newspapers he delivers he gets $1.60.  How many papers does he need to deliver to earn $20

20 - 1.6

40 - 3.2

60 - 4.8

80 - 6.4

100 - 8

120 - 9.6

140 - 11.2

160 - 12.8

180 - 14.4

200 - 16

220 - 17.6

240 - 19.2

250 - 20

8. Hana has a cup that hold .275 litres and a container that holds 2.2 litres.  How many cupfuls does she need to fill the container.   

2.2 -  .275 = 1.925

.275 +   = 2.2

.275 + 0.725 = 1

1 + 0.2 = 1.2

0.725 + 0.2 = .925

1 + 0.925 = 1.925
