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.

2. 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

3. 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

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

5. 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.

What changes did the settlers bring to NZ

 What Changes Did The Settlers Bring To NZ

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 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 Island  because there were a lot of settlers and missionaries

and Maori tribes. So 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.

 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.
