Treaty of Waitangi

Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi was singed on 6 February 1840.

The Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between the British and the

Maori and the precise date of the signing can be found in the Treaty

it self or on websites as well as some books. The Treaty of Waitangi

got it’s name from a place called Waitangi which is in the Bay of Islands


The Bay of Islands is in the northern part of New Zealand. It was signed in the

Bay of Islands  because there were a lot of settlers and

missionaries and Maori tribes. The British came to negotiate

a formal agreement with the Maori called the “Treaty of Waitangi”

There were two versions of the treaty, one in English and one in Maori.


Because there were two versions of the Treaty one in English and one

in Maori it was easy for the British to to write  completely different things

on the treaty. Both the Treaty’s were written by William Hobson because the

Maori couldn’t understand English. Hone Heke said that the Treaty would be

good for the Maori but little did he know that the were being tricked by the British.


The Maori were being tricked by the British because the Treaty was not exact

copies of each other but little did Hone Heke know that the Maori were being

tricked into signing the Treaty and being looted of their land.

 Measurement tasks for Friday 5 March 2021

Please make a copy of this document and save it to your maths folder


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.


  1. A student measures her height with a 30 cm long ruler.

  2. She finds that she is four and a half rulers high. How tall is

  3. she in cm? 30cmx4=120cm    ½ of 30cm=15cm  120cm+15cm=135cm


  1. A student is told that they are 1.45 m tall. How tall is this in cm? 145cm


  1. If it takes 3 hours to drive 210 km, what was the average speed of the journey?

  2. 210 divided by 3=70kph


  1. A class of 28 is split into small groups. How big can those groups be?

  2. Factors of 28 1 2 4 7 14


  1. A car, travelling at an average speed of 70 km/ph is in a journey of 210 km. 

How long will the journey take? 70x3=210km so it will take 3 hours to get there.


  1. A long distance swimmer takes 80 strokes to swim 100 metres.

  2. 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?  80 x 42= 

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=


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 did it in 56 minutes and the swimmer did it in 51 minutes.

Measurement tasks for Term 1 Week 5 

Wednesday and Friday

Please make a copy of this sheet and save it to your Maths folder


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? Both cm and mm are acceptable but mm will be more accurate. 


Estimate how long you think the pen would be

How long is it actually? I thought it was 10cm but it is 14.4cm or 144 mm


If you wanted to measure the height of a regular water bottle what unit of

measurement would you use?

You would use cm

Estimate the height of a water bottle

What is the actual height? I thought that my water bottle was 30 cm but

it was 22.7 cm 


What unit of measurement would you use to measure the length of your bedroom? 

You would use meters

Estimate the length of your bedroom I thought it was 5 meters 

What is the actual length of your bedroom? It is 3.73 meters  


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)-Measuring tape

  1.  A door  in your house- 1.95 meters

  2.  A window- 74 cm

  3.  Closet door- 1.99

  4.  Table- 1.98 

  5.  Your bed-1.85 meters


Can you work out the area of the lid of your chromebook? (Imagine it was 2D).

What measurements will you need to take? Length 30cm x width 20cm= 600cm

squared


Can you find the perimeter of your chromebook? Length- 30cm+width-20cm=50x2=

100cm


Can you work out the area of your bedroom? Length 3.76 x width 2.99= 3x2=6   

0.70x0.90=


Find out what the dimensions should be for a regular basket ball court and a

regular football court. 


Basketball court- 29m by 15m

Perimeter- 29m+15m=44m (44x2)=88m

Area-29m x 15m= 29x10=290 29x5=145 290+145=435meters squared 


Football court 

Perimeter-105m by 68m  105m + 68m=173m x 2=346m

Area-105m x 68m=  100x68=6800m squared 5x68=340m squared  

6800m squared+340m squared=7140m squared


Find the perimeter of both these courts


Find the area of both these courts


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

MY FAMILY TREE

 

Maths

 

  1. One third of the animals in the barn are chickens. The rest are pigs.

There are 20 legs in all.

How many pigs are there? There are four pigs.

If ⅓ are chickens then ⅔ are pigs. Each chicken has two legs and each pig has four legs.


  1. I have three dogs of different ages.

If I add their ages together I get 15.

If I multiply their ages together I get 45.

How old are my dogs? The dogs ages are 1, 5, and 9

Because 1+5+9=15 and 9x5x1=45



  1. Niko and Kaia buy their father a card for Fathers’ Day.

The card costs $5.90. Niko puts

in 40c more than Kaia.

How much do they each contribute

to the card?

Half of 5:90 is 2:95 Niko put 40 c more

so Niko payed 3:15 and Kaia payed 2:75


  1. I think that you’ll find a pattern in the

  2. numbers below.

8 x 8 + 13 =77

88 x 8 + 13 =717

888 x 8 + 13 =7117

8888 x 8 + 13 =71117

88888 x 8 + 13 =711117

Does the pattern extend indefinitely?

Yes Because 88888888888x8+13=

711111111117



Maths

 If Roimata allows 3 biscuits for each person and there are 12

biscuits in a packet, how many packets of biscuits does she need?

This my question for maths and I did

Because There are 172 people to cater for

I did 3 x 172=516 then I did 516 divided by 12 because each packet can take

12 biscuits and the = 43. So Roimata needs 43 packets of biscuits.

 In today's maths we had a visitor named Mary who was observing us as we did our maths. One thing I learned today was that if you have fractions with different denominators you have to convert them to have the same denominators.
