Fractions of sets

Fractions are one whole thing divided into equal pieces.

Fractions have two parts, The numerator, and the denominator. The denominator tells the size of the fraction. The numerator shows how many pieces there are.

An example is five eighths (5/8) the fractions size is eighths, so the denominator is eight. There are five pieces,so the numerator is five.

See below for examples.

Maths

I learnt about fractions. I learnt fractions by cutting a cup into halves and eighths.

Our second task was making one google slide by our self. That shows or explained quarters and eighths.

The numerator is the top number couloum that was left over for you. The denominator is how many objects that were cut in the first time.

I enjoyed learning fractions.

Maori Objects

 We watched a performance that was did by a Kapa Haka group. 

The first thing that happened was them doing an entrance ceremony. They used a conch to let the people notice them coming in. The Kapa Haka group introduced three weapons then they used in a dance.

Emergency shelters

 Resource Requisition | Inquiry 

 All natural disasters start from bad weather. The materials that are suitable against a volcano eruption are: steel door, chicken wire, aluminium sheets, and concrete walls.

The steel door was to get in and out of the shelter when a natural disaster starts or finishes. This material has been chosen because steel is strong. 

The concrete walls are out for the base of the shelter and the roof.  This material has been  chosen to protect against lava because it provides a strong foundation for an emergency shelter. 

The aluminium was used for the inside layer to stop lava from coming in.  This material was chosen because aluminium is strong. 

The chicken wire was used to hold the shelter together and extra protection against lava. 

This material has been chosen to protect against volcanic eruptions because it can give the structure more protection and strength against lava.

Lots of materials can help protect against different types of natural disasters.

To describe what a place smells like it needs to include adjectives as rotten, clean, and etc.

To describe what a place feels like it needs to include adjectives as Rough, bumpy, uneven, etc.

This strategy can help people get a picture inside the readers head as they connect with the four senses.
