Whakapapa Homework (T1W7)

As part of Week 7's Homework we had to learn about our Whakapapa (Genealogy). We had to Interview someone around the age of our grandparents and our parents. Then we had to summarize the main points.

Here is my Summary:

The communication (other than by person) stayed the same for a long time which was letters. The trends have become quite crazy overtime and are changing still. In my Interview the men seemed to dislike school more than Judy. There was a mixed amount of people that were at there school.

Here is my Interview:

Maths ShowMe

On Monday the 24th of March Anna, Laura and I made a ShowMe (using http://www.showme.com/) to show how we use the strategy Rounding and Compensating to answer a question.
Here is our ShowMe:

Maths Graphing

We created a class survey and answered the questions. Our class decided that we would graph one of the questions that everybody answered. I chose to do 'What jobs do usually do at home?'. We could answer with one or more of the jobs.
Here is mine:

Make beds	19
Ironing	1
Mow lawns	8
Set table	21
Clean car	6
Washing	11
Tidy bedroom	20

Upside Down Portrait

On Thursday the 13th of March we got given a portrait that we had to copy on another piece of paper, but there was a twist. We got given the portrait upside down and had to draw it upside down as well. We could not even look at it the right way up either. Our goal was to look at it as lines not a person. I found it quite hard and when I had finished and finally turned it around, it was the most hilarious thing!

Here is my portrait:
