Number Plate Maths
Hello there. Today we did Maths, for Maths we were grouped up with a buddy and for today's Maths it was about number plates and for this Maths we had to get a number and try to put it into a way that it meant the same thing as the NUMBER. For example: 10, OneTen, One10, 1one10.

Maths: Algebra
Today for Maths we did this problem. I hope you enjoy it. HI PITARA & ARMAN
Mr Morrison - 10ml=3h
1ml = 3h Divided by 10ml x 300ml = 90h
So Mr Morrison will finish his QQC Medicine in 90h
Rose - 5ml=6h
1ml = 6h divided by 5ml x 90ml = 108h
So Rose will finish her QQC Medicine in 108h
So Mr Mr Morrison will finish his QQC Medicine before Rose.

Maths
Today For Maths our problem was:
Miriama is making 'ei katu. 25% of the 'ei katu has pink flowers, 1/5 of it has yellow flowers, 10% of it is white flowers and the rest of the 'ei katu is made up of leaves.
What Percentage or fractions of the 'ei katu are going to be leaves?
How I solved it =
25% = Pink Flowers
1/5 = Yellow Flowers
10% = White Flowers
So first I needed to find out the percentage of 1/5 so I drew a circle, halved it in fives and I got 20% Because in Percentage there is always 100% and 5x20 = 100 so 1/5 in percentage is 20%.
Then I added it all up: 25% + 20% + 10% = 55% then I did 100% - 55% = 45% So 45% of the ei Katu will be leaves.

Mathematics
Today we had Maths. I was in a group of 9 and our problem was (What percentage of the pizza would each of you get)
So how we worked it out:
100% = Whole
90% = 10% for each 9 person
10% is left from the whole Pizza so 1% from the 10% give is give to each 9 of us. So know we have 1% left = 0.1 for each person, so everyone will get 11.1% but we still and 0.1% left so the number keeps recurring.

Maths - measurement/TAHA
Today me and my group did Maths we had to do measurement this is what we did\
Window - W = 5 1/3 - L = 5 1/3 - I used a book
Netball court - W = 38 - L = 76 1/2 - I used Soane's feet
Field - L = 505 - W = 223 - I used my feet

Measurement tasks for Friday 5 March 2021
Try to solve the problems independently.
You may use diagrams to explain your thinking.
We will discuss as a group what strategies you used to solve the problems
WALT: use multiplicative and/or additive strategies to solve measurement problems.
A student measures her height with a 30 cm long ruler. She finds that she is four and a half rulers high. How tall is she in cm? 30cmx4=120cm half of 30 is 15 so
120cm + 15 = 135cm
A student is told that they are 1.45 m tall. How tall is this in cm?
1m = 100cm 45 = 45cm 100cm + 45cm = 145cm
If it takes 3 hours to drive 210 km, what was the average speed of the journey?
3h = 210km 210 divide by 3 = 70 So if i go 70km/ph it will take 3 hours to drive 210km So my answer is 70km/ph
A class of 28 is split into small groups. How big can those groups be?
Half of 28 = 14 Half of 14 = 7 28 divided by 7 = 4 So 4 groups of 7 are the most groups the class can have.
A car, travelling at an average speed of 70 km/ph is in a journey of 210 km.
How long will the journey take? 70 x 3 = 210km so the journey will take 3 hours
A long distance swimmer takes 80 strokes to swim 100 metres. He wants to swim across Lake Taupo, a distance of 4200 metres.
a. How many strokes will it take for him to swim across the lake? 80x42 = 3360s
b. If he can swim at a rate of 60 strokes per minute, how many minutes could he swim across the lake in? 3360 divided by 60 = 56m
c. Can he expect to beat the 2015 champion swimmer who crossed the lake in a time of 51 minutes and 48 seconds? No because he crossed the line in 56 minutes
These problems are taken from NZ Maths

Maths
Measurement tasks for Term 1 Week 5
Wednesday and Friday
WALT: Estimate, take actual measurements, work
out perimeters and areas of objects around the house.
If you wanted to measure the length of a pen what unit of measurement would you use?
Mm, cm or m? I will use cm
Estimate how long you think the pen would be 10cm
How long is it actually? 14cm
If you wanted to measure the height of a regular water bottle what unit of measurement would you use?
I will use cm or inches
Estimate the height of a water bottle 28cm
What is the actual height? 30cm
What unit of measurement would you use to measure the length of your bedroom? I will use meters
Estimate the length of your bedroom 5m
What is the actual length of your bedroom? 4m
Find the length of five objects in your house. Record what unit of measurement and tool you are
using to measure (e.g. a metre ruler or ruler, cm or mm)
A door in your house 2.10m I used a measure tape
A window 1.10m I used a measure tape
Closet door 2m I used a measure tape
Table 1.5m I used a measure tape
Your bed 1.85m I used a measure tape
Can you work out the area of the lid of your chromebook? (Imagine it was 2D).
What measurements will you need to take? L = 30cm W = 19cm
10cm x 30cm = 300cm 9 x 30cm = 270cm 300cm + 270cm = 5702cm
So the area of the netbook lid is 5702cm
Can you find the perimeter of your chromebook?
2cm x 30cm = 60cm 2cm x 19cm = 38cm 60cm + 8cm = 98cm
Can you work out the area of your bedroom? L x W L = 4m W = 3m
4m x 3m = 122m
Find out what the dimensions should be for a regular basketball court and a regular football court.
Basketball court = 28m by 15m Football field = 105m by 68m
Find the perimeter of both these courts
Football field - 2m x 105m = 210m 2m x 68m = 136m 210m + 136m = 346m
Basketball - 2m x 28m = 56m 2m x 15m = 30m 56m + 30m = 86m
Find the area of both these courts.
Football field - 100m x 60m = 6000m 100m x 8m = 800m 5m x 60m = 300m 5m x 8m = 40m
6000m + 800m + 300m + 40m = 71402m
Basketball - 20m x 10m = 200m 20m x 5m = 100m 8m x 10m = 80m 8m x 5m = 40m
200m + 100m + 80m + 40m = 4202m
Hint: Perimeter of a square = side x 4
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x length + 2 x width
Area of a square = side x side Area of a rectangle = length x width

Group Maths Work - TAHA
300 x 172
100 x 300 = 30000
70 x 300 = 21000
2 x 300 = 600
30000 + 21000 = 51000
51000 + 600 = 51600ml of water
51.5
1 jug = 2L
5 jugs = 10L
25 jugs = 50L
1 jug = 1.6L
26 jugs
