Net Making using Geogebra

Today during Maths we have learnt how to create a pentagonal base prism on Geogbra
( click here for the site). As this was my first experience it was quite difficult at first but enjoyed making shapes and developing my knowledge in geometry.

Study Notes→Numbers

 Study Notes→Numbers:


  1. Multiples: Values of a certain number.


Factors: Variety of numbers that make up a value.


Primes: A number that can only be divided by itself.


HCF: The highest number that both value have factors of.


LCF: The opposite of HCF, the lowest number that both values have a factor of.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2)  Order of Operations:


Brackets

Exponents

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Subtraction


Left to right

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Rounding:


5 or more we add to its nearest 10,100, 1000 etc.

4 or less leave it the same.


E.g. 654 1dp= 650

7.39= 7.40

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Standard Form:


Numbers that are from 1-9 and it depends on the times you move it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) Conversion Fraction=Decimal=Percentages


Fraction= Decimal= Dived the fraction/  E.g. ½= 0.5


Fraction & Decimal= x 100= Percentage


Percentage / 100= Decimal & Fraction

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) Percentage:


E.g. Percentage of means times= x


10% of 600= is the same as= 10 x 600

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7) Percentages Increase/dec:


Original form= (1+ r/100)= Find


Find= Divideby( 1+ r/100)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8) Ratio


Step 1: Convert the ratio to Fraction

Step2: Then find the fraction of the value


E.g Share 60 into 2:3?


  1. 2:3= ⅔

  2. ⅔ of 60=  40

Waitangi Day

 Waitangi Day

  • 3 facts about what you know about the Treaty of Waitangi

    • The Treaty of Waitangi was an official public holiday on 1974.

    • It was signed on February 6, 1840.

    • It was signed by the British Crown and roughly around 540 Maori Chiefs.

  • 2-3 different points of view on the Waitangi Day:

    • People look at Waitangi as a day of celebration of the settlement or " peace" amongst the British and Maori people.

    • Other People disagree that Waitangi should be a public holiday. In their perspective, Maori were not given the respect and honour for their people.

    • From another point of view, people have a day of from work and school.


After viewing both perspectives, I clearly understand where they are coming from. However, I am not sure whether to celebrate Waitangi or not.

In my opinion, Waitangi day is important to learn about as it is one of the main events recorded in the NZ History. Not everything settled down peacefully but it is important that our generation and from then on learn this as it would help them understand about the Maori culture.

Te Whare Tapa Wha

Te Whare Tapa Wha

For the past weeks, we have been learning more about our Hauora( Well-being). 
Taha Whanau( Social Wellbeing), Taha Tinana( physical well being),
Taha Hinengaro(Mental/Thoughts well being) and Taha Wairua( spiritual well being). 
These are the 4 dimensions of Hauora. 


Each dimension is really important. They all have different aspects and meanings but together they are one. With one wall collapsed, your whare becomes unbalanced. But using the other walls will support and recover the other wall.


We’ll start off with Taha whanau which represents your social wellbeing. An easy way to remember this is by family. Think of the things that you do with your family, friends, etc that makes you happy.  For example, my family and I get along by cooking. We don’t just love our dad’s homemade cooking but I enjoy getting to cook with my dad! Even the smallest things you love to do with your friends and family can make a positive impact with your Taha Whanau.

Next, we have Taha Tinana. This well-being symbolizes your Physical Well-Being. Taking care of your body is very important. Not paying attention to your body, you can lack health and hygiene. For example, I usually walk with my mum to the basin. Another example is by taking showers you can kill away those germs. Remember these are just examples that I've come up but there are so many.  By being aware of the things you eat and how to improve on your hygiene, can help build your Taha Tinana. 


The third dimension is Taha Hinengaro. This influences the way you think and feel. The way you feel and think affects the way you act. What I mean by this is when you are in a lot of stress, you seem to struggle to focus and you are just overwhelmed with so many feelings. In my opinion, this is an issue that youth seem to struggle with. As you grow up, there are going to be changes that may surprise you in a good way or a negative. These are the types of challenges that we go through. But along those challenges, we can overcome it and able to learn from it.  

Lastly, we have Taha Wairua. This is also known as your Spiritual well being. As I look at the word spiritual God and church first comes to my mind. But as we looked more into it, I’ve learned that it doesn’t only talk about religions, most importantly your personal identity. Your self-esteem, the things that you value, sense of achievement, etc these are all the things that affect this well being. For example, I get a sense of achievement and am proud of is getting this opportunity to be part of the Akomanga Kaihanga along with these intelligent students.


Overall, my well-being is healthy and balanced.

Akomanga Kiahanga


Malo e lelei and greetings to you all! Welcome to my blog! My name is Grace and I am 13 years old. 


I have had the opportunity to be a part of Akomanga Kaihanga. If you are wondering, Akomanaga Kaihanga means “ The Creative Class”. Previously, for the past few weeks we have been working on our projects. We’ve been going out to the community and getting their feedback and putting the ideas into action. In our team we have Makayla, Tiana,  Siaosi, Leiite and Kurtas. Our group is called The poly’s. We came up with the name last minute so we just went with it. It did take a while to come up with our project, but then we finally came to an agreement and we decided to do a Sports Event. 


The issue that we were trying to raise awareness of is to get youth off the streets. The reason why we chose to do this is that we realise that children around our age are mainly  out on the streets and where it is too dangerous. So our group decided to create a project where our youth have the chance to collaborate with the community and to build stronger bonds with others. We've come up with a  plan to host Touch Tournaments held at the Pt England reserve and at Tamaki College. There would be teams divided into School grads and family Grades. There would be Yr 5&6, yr 7& 8 and college into family grade.

We are hoping that by doing this event we are able to bring our community together and build stronger connections with each other. At the moment I am excited but at the same time a bit worried because at this time the Covid 19 has been affecting most events happening and hopefully our event does not get cancelled.

Cooking- Mince Gravy with Rice

Cooking- Mince Gravy with Rice
IALHT: Cook Mince gravy with rice.

Kia Orana and greetings to you all, welcome to my blog!
Today is thursday which means we have Technology. This week my buddy, Hevani and I will be cooking Mince Gravy and rice. I am familiar with this dish so I wasn't that surprised. 

Here are the instructions of making your own Mince Gravy and rice:

Step 1- Dice the onion and fry until it is soft.

Step 2- Add mixed vegetables and cook until it is soft.

Step 3-  Add the mince and fry until it is cooked.

Step 4- Add tomato soup and mix well.

Step 5- Serve into plate and enjoy!

Overall, I think me and Hevani did a great job making sure that our mince was well-cooked instead of being dry. It tasted so delicious and it just take my back to memories of family times dinner at home. I don't think we needed to change anything on our dish it tasted just right!

Talofa lava and greetings to you all, welcome to my blog!
Today for cybersmart we are focusing on how people alter photos. 

Here I have altered 2 photos:




 Over here on the top left is a lemon that I altered. As you can see I have replaced the lemon with the sun. And as you can see below I have altered an image. In the Auckland city there have been a humongous elephant who has just taken a huge poop.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoy this blogpost and the images that I have altered!

Feel free to comment down below! 

Question: Have you ever altered a photo before?
