Please make a copy of this document and save it to your maths folder
Try to solve the problems independently.
You may use diagrams to explain your thinking.
We will discuss as a group what strategies you used to solve the problems
WALT: use multiplicative and/or additive strategies to solve measurement problems.
A student measures her height with a 30 cm long ruler.
She finds that she is four and a half rulers high. How tall is
she in cm? 30cmx4=120cm ½ of 30cm=15cm 120cm+15cm=135cm
A student is told that they are 1.45 m tall. How tall is this in cm? 145cm
If it takes 3 hours to drive 210 km, what was the average speed of the journey?
210 divided by 3=70kph
A class of 28 is split into small groups. How big can those groups be?
Factors of 28 1 2 4 7 14
A car, travelling at an average speed of 70 km/ph is in a journey of 210 km.
How long will the journey take? 70x3=210km so it will take 3 hours to get there.

He wants to swim across Lake Taupo, a distance of 4200 metres.

What changes did the settlers brought to NZ
What changes did the settlers brought to NZ
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed 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
itself or on websites as well as some books. The Treaty of Waitangi
got its 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 they 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.
Maths
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.
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
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 40c more
so Niko payed $3.15 and Kaia payed $2.75
I think that you’ll find a pattern in the 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
