Math

WALT: identify whether a question requires me to use the year 6 'part 6 Unknown' strategy or the year 6 'whole unknown strategy. 

Today for math we had all given a paper worksheet, We had to solve the problem by using times tables & Divided by. 

Here are my questions, Answers and strategy.

2/3 of 30 = 20

30 divided by 3 = 1o

10 x 2 = 20

3/4 of 16 = 12

12 divided by 4=3

3 x 3 = 9

3/5 of 15 = 9

15 divided by 5 = 3

3 x 3 = 9

4/5 of 10 = 8 

10 divided by 5 = 2

2 x 4 = 8

2/7 of 21 = 6

21 divided by 7 = 3

3x2 = 6

2/6 of 12 = 4

12 divided by 6 = 2

2x2 = 4

2/3 of 6 =4

6 divided by 3 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

4/6 of 24 = 16

24 divided by 6 = 4

4 x 4 = 16

3/5 of 25 = 15

25 divided by 5 = 5 

5x3=15

2/8 of 4 = 4

4 divided by 8=2

2x2=4

3/5 of 250 cm = 50cm

250cm divided by 5cm = 50cm

50cm x 3 = 150cm

2/3 of 12 = 8

12 divided by 3 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

3/8 of 32 = 12

32 divided by 8 = 4 

4 x 3 = 12

4/5 of 16 = 

20 divided by 5 = 100

100 x 4 = 400

My Home Group: Freaks

Political Impacts (Jennifer)	The political crisis. In Brazil there is a problems with the politics. The reason why? It all started in December where their was a corruption scandal that is was threatened to boil over. While that was happening the president Dilma Rousseff won the re-election for the second term in 2014. The corruption scandal aka the operation car wash was investigated for 2 years up to now. On the brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, reports that Vice president Michel Temer was accused of attempted murder for the corruption scandal.
Police & Legacy Impacts (Paris)	The police and legacy crisis. In Brazil there is a major problem with the policemen.Over the years that went past , innocents have been killed and now the people find it hard to walk the streets.In 2014, 580 people have died and in 2015, 645 people have been killed and that is a overall of 1,225 people who have died.Brazil police rank the worlds most deadly.
Economic Impacts (Amelia)	The games themselves haven’t been immune to budget cuts, but as brazil faces further cuts in the immediate future, it’s becoming clear that the money it has spent on the games could have been better utilized.
Environmental Impacts (Losana)	Every olympics naturally comes with environmental problems, and questions. When the Associated Press analyzed the bay water, they found that it was still disgusting. The IOC won’t let themselves test on the water.
Health Impacts (Petra)	The zika virus is a minor health problem in Brazil.Doctors believed that the zika virus wouldn't have much of an impact on the olympics but a lot of athletes are still thinking of not going because of the virus.Others have chosen to get quarantined instead. The government sent military and health professionals to cleanse Rio of mosquitoes, and promised that athletes and fans wouldn’t face much risk.

Analysing

Today we had a reading task called bloom's taxonomy. We had to define what matariki is with this reading presentation. We had to work on the analysing slide which most of us didn't really know what it means. It was hard for us to think of how to answer questions and stuff. UNTIL... our teacher explained and told us what it means. Now we know what it means.
