Measurement Task: Cake Competition

Cuboid

Length = 46 cm

Width = 32 cm

Height = 18 cm

Cylinder

Height = 20 cm

Diameter = 18 cm

Radius is equal to :  9 cm

_____________________________________________________________

Finding the volume

Cuboid/Rectangle

Formula = Length x Width x Height

46 x 32 x 18 = 26,496 cm3

Cylinder

Formula = π r2 h

Π x 92 x 20 = 5089.3 cm3 (rounding to 1 decimal point)

26,496 + 5089.3 = 31585.3 cm3 is the volume of the cake

______________________________________________________________

Finding the surface area

Cuboid

Top = 46 x 32 = 1472 cm2

Bottom = 46 x 32 = 14722

Left = 32 x 18 = 576 cm2

Right = 32 x 18 = 576 cm2

Front = 18 x 46 = 828 cm2

Back = 18 x 46 = 828 cm2

1472 + 1472 + 576 + 576 + 828 + 828 = 5,752 cm2

Cylinder

Formula = 2 Π r2 + 2 Π r H

2 x Π x 92 + 2 x Π x 9 x 20 =

508.9 + 1130.9 = 1639.8 cm2(rounding to 1 decimal point)

5752 + 1639.8 = 7391.8 cm2 is the surface area of the cake

Today in maths we used the site Tinkercad to create and design any

3D shape or block. We could use any measurements of our own and

had to find the volume and surface area of the shape. As you can see

above, I've written the volume and surface area for the shape I created.

Finger Joints

During the past few weeks of wood, my class and I have learnt about
finger joints. Finger joints is when two pieces of wood are cut up on
the side like the pattern of our fingers and joined up together with
another piece of wood. Finger joints are used to hold the wood
steadily in its position with a bit of glue added to it. My class and I
are using this method to create a serving tray. So far we've been able
to use the finger joints with 4 pieces of wood to create a rectangle.
The tools we used to create the joints was a wooden hamlet, chisel, saw,
a pencil and ruler to line my cutting. So far, I'm happy with my product,
now all there's left to do is the bottom.

Teachers going on strike for the first time in 24 years

Teachers going on strike for the first time in 24 years



During the past days I've been at school, I´ve been investigating
on the issue of teachers going on strike. Teachers are wanting
more resources, less stress of work and a pay rise. Teachers can´t
teach if the resources they need aren´t supplied and if the amount of
money they are getting isn´t suitable for the amount of work they are
doing. Lynda Stuart who is the President of the New Zealand education
institute has spoken, "We have a government we know are listening.
We are in a situation that if we don't fix this now we absolutely
will be in a disaster.¨ Another former teacher of New Zealand and is
now teaching in Canada has spoken about the differences in teaching
between New Zealand and Canada. In Canada, the amount of money
paid is suitable for him plus the amount of work he gets. There´s no
NCEA/NZQA, no standardized assessments and it´s a straight forward
curriculum.¨I will go back to NZ but not to teach¨, he said.

How does a Bill become an ACT

How does a Bill become an ACT?

A Bill goes through 7 stages to become an act. These acts or Laws protect

our rights, property and us. 

1. Introduction

The introduction is when the bill is introduced to the house.

2. First Reading

The first reading is when members of the parliament(MPs) debate on whether

or not the bill should move onto the select committee or if it should be denied.

3. Select committee

This stage is a select committee of MPs that carefully examine the bill. They

listen to views of the public, interested organisations that recommend ammendments
to report back to the house.

4. Second reading
The second reading is when the bill is returned back to the house along with the
recommendations of the select committee. Members consider it and decide
whether it should move on to the committee of the whole house.

5. Committee of the Whole House
MPs debate the bill and examine each part carefully bit by bit.

6. Third reading
In this stage members of the parliament study the consequences if the bill becomes a
law.

7. Royal assent
The Governor General signs the bill on behalf of the sovereign to become an Act or LAW.

Why we need LAWS?

Why we need LAWS?

A LAW is something that sustains us from doing wrong. We need laws
to protect us, our property and our environment. If we had no laws, imagine
a world with complete chaos. It wouldn't be a safe environment for you and
everybody else. But if we did have laws, consequences will be given to people
who do wrong and it provides a secure environment. Laws are very important
on earth because it equals out everyone and no one is above or under anybody
else.

Greens target foreign land buyers bottling NZ water in review of Overseas Investment Act

I definitely agree that foreign land owners should not be allowed to

sell New Zealand bottled water overseas. Why? Because foreign

land buyers are extracting New Zealand's natural resources(water)

for the benefit of earning money.It doesn’t do any good for New

Zealand citizens except wasting it on other countries. So I simply

agree with the green party, they’ve made many reasonable reasons

for why foreign land buyers should not sell bottled water overseas.

Including Marama davidson who quoted "We need to ensure that we

are not giving away this resource to international corporations to reap

profits from at the expense of New Zealand's best interests," as well as

"Water should not be for sale to the highest bidder. Changing the law

is a key step towards protecting it for the generations ahead," Greens

co leader Marama davidson said.

Cybersmart Assessment

1. What it means to be cybersmart and why is it important

Cybersmart means being safe online. It’s very crucial to be
cybersmart because you could come across some cyberbully,
virus or hacker that could affect you in some way.

2.Two things you learnt about being cybersmart and how you
could apply it to your own life

Two things I have learnt about being cyber smart is double
checking what I write before pressing the send button and
how being cybersmart could affect my future. For example,
if I choose to do the wrong thing it could affect me from having
a job. Since all they know of me was all the bad things I did online.
Applying this to my life would mean not to comment or post bad

things about someone.
