Plan and conduct investigations using the statistical inquiry cycle

There are links to my learning
1.Coming up with a question
2.Planing a fair investigation 
3. Gathering data from you're investigation 
4. Analyzing the data
5. Presenting the data

I learnt how to plan a investigation and present it.

Convert between metric units, using whole numbers and commonly used decimals.

WALT Convert between metric units, using whole numbers and commonly used decimals.

I have found this goal interesting because it is different to the other parts of math you have to actually do physical activities, I really enjoyed this aspect of it. Overall an enjoyable challenge for my maths.

Here are the links to my work
Task 1 (I can calculate speed)
Task 2 (How fast can you run 1km)
Task 3 (Speed of my throw or kick)
Task 4 (How fast can you sprint)

My next step is to use this knowledge in my general life.

Scales, timetables and Charts

Scales, timetables and Charts

In Maths we have been learning to interpret and use scales, Timetables and charts.

Here is a link to our online modelling book.

These are the activities that I have completed as part of this learning.

• Working with Data
• Home Run
• The heat is on
• Scale of events.
• Gigantic Jumbo
  

  

  
• When and weather

Roundabout Rugby

My next Step is to apply the new knowledge that I have gained to real life situations eg using airport/bus timetables.

Write an effective argument for our chosen political party

WALT: Write an effective argument for our chosen political party.

“Let’s do this” do you know what party you want to vote for and have you voted? Because if you haven’t I have some strong ideas on why you should vote for  the Labour party. Personally I believe that everyone should vote for the Labour party because Labour have so many interesting and helpful ideas for New Zealand these are: Everyone should be provided with free student loans, establish a national cancer agency and provide more grants for housing and insulation. There is my first reason you should vote for the Labour party.

Firstly The Labour party believe that to get a good education you need to provide everyone with free student loans. This will encourage students to go to school because it will be no charge. It will raise awareness to show that schools are willing to go charge free. People will go to school for free and it will make them think that  their child should go to school because it is free. But that’s not all the Labour party have to offer; another really interesting policy is to establish a national cancer agency.

Another policy Labour are going to introduce is we want to establish a national cancer agency. The benefits of a national cancer agency is that A National Cancer Agency would improve the quality and consistency of cancer treatment in New Zealand.The Agency’s goals would be to improve consistency of treatment across the country and develop a National Cancer Plan to reduce death rates due to cancer. The Labour party are also trying to help housing in new zealand by providing more grants for housing and insulation.

Last but not least The Labour party are trying there hardest to improve housing in new zealand by providing more grants for housing and insulation. Labour believes that too many homes are poorly insulated and heated, leaving people in cold, damp homes. Increasing the home insulation subsidy should bring more homes up to standard. Labour believe that homes in New Zealand are getting too cold for people to live in and in some cases people are dying. Another reason you should vote for labour instead of National is that National are making empty promises.

On the other hand one of the reasons you should vote for Labour instead of National is that one of  National’s policies is to Provide pregnant women with one free dental course. If National do go through with this policy it is unfair on the male part of the country and just because females give birth doesn’t mean they can get an advantage in dental course. Not all pregnant women will want to take the dental course and this means that other pregnant women get more care. The people that run the dental course might not want to give free dental courses to pregnant women so National will need to check that they agree with this policy.

The Labour party are thinking of you so you should return the favor by voting for them. In my opinion I think Labour is the best party to vote for because they have the best education, health and housing policies and they speak for all of New Zealand. To recap on what I have just said the Labour party are offering a national cancer agency, improving housing and providing everyone with free student loans. Furthermore the Labour party is the best party to vote for It can offer lot’s of useful and helpful policies and thats why you should vote for the Labour party… so “let’s do this.”

My next steps are:
