School Holidays:

Codes and Ciphers are ways of scrambling up words to make them impossible to understand. Julius Caesar a Roman soldier developed what is known as the Caesar Cipher to send letters to back to Rome when he was away fighting . In the Caesar Cipher each letter in the message is replaced by a letter 3 places further along. So A is replaced by D, C is replaced by F and so on. This is shown in the picture below


Instructions

1. Write your name using the Caesar cipher. Eg my name is Susan Rooney .This would be written as VXVDQ URRQHB

2. Write the name of your favourite book (or movie or TV show or game) using this cipher.

3. Try and decipher the last persons name and favourite book (or movie or TV show or game)

4. Optional; Tell us an interesting fact about Codes and Ciphers.

This Kahn Academy video is about the Caesar cipher.

Week 10:

  • Please create a slideshow or Google Drawing of your learning about:
  • Types of lines- e.g segment, parallel perpendicular etc
  • Types of Triangles- isosceles, right angle, equilateral etc
  • Types of polygons
  • Types of Angles

A few of these concepts were covered in the Sumdog test we did and to ensure they have a clear understanding I would like them to create a slide to present to their class.

Walt: Apply money saving to real -life contextual choices.

Parent note: Discuss with your child about CV, GV AND RV of homes. Also a good discussion point is land area, house size, location furnishings.

Students:

1. I would like to buy a 3 bedroom home in New Lynn. Most houses go to Auction but I know the approximate price of them from the websites like Harcourts and Barfoot and Thompson.

Your challenge is to work out -If I save $ 70,000 a year approximately how long would it take me to buy a house that costs $800,000.

2. Go to the above websites and compare 3 homes. Decide which one is the most suitable based on my requirements.

Budget:800,000, 3 bedrooms, garage.

Problem Solving with Flip Grid: Week 6-10

WALT: Solve Decimal Word Problems

The student will be able to:

  • Examine examples of real-world problems involving decimals.
  • Examine the solution presented for each problem.
  • Examine interactive exercises with real-world problems involving decimals.
  • Analyze each problem to identify the given information.
  • Formulate a strategy for solving each problem.
  • Apply decimal strategies to solve problems.

Use the Flip code:

We are looking at the rising fuel prices.

I own a Mazda 3. The fuel tank can hold 55 litres of fuel.

The cost of fuel at the Mobil is 2.14 per litre.

Question 1. How much will it cost to full the tank?

Question 2. If I use 5 litres to travel 100 kilometres. How many litres will I use for 250 kms?

Question 3. I got a voucher for 10cents off per litre of fuel. Keeping in mind the price is 2.14 per litre how much discount off the total fuel price will I get?

Support for Multiplying decimals:


Use the Flip code:

  • https://flipgrid.com/4203e8
  • to answer the following questions.
  • Showcase your thinking at the side.
  • We are trying to problem solve if Ms Jansz will be able to buy a house. To figure that out we have to find out how much I earn a year before and after tax. Then looking at property areas that I can afford. Every fortnight I earn $1500. So every week I earn $750.

1. If there are 52 weeks a year, how much do I earn every year before the government taxes me.

2. Then the government taxes me 30% how much do I get in hand at the end of year.

3. Also, how much do I get a fortnight after being taxed?

Term 2 Week 1-5: Google Drawing

Over the next few weeks we will be using what we have learnt in Google Maps and transferring it to Google Drawing. Engineers, architects all use Google Drawing to support their work and our children will learn how to do so as well.

Google Drawing

As a digital tool, My Maps has great potential in terms of learning power. The linked activities are some ways to engage my students in exploring the world around them through rich mathematical tasks. All the activities can be done collaboratively.

This is ideal as an introductory activity for young students or students new to My Maps.

Mathematics Curriculum: Geometry & Measurement (& Number)

Term 2 Week 1-5: My Maps


Mathematics in School

Homework extension: Create their own map using Google Drawings

Term 3 Week 7-8:

  • WALT: Multiply two digit numbers.

Extension: Make a Google slide with 5 questions to multiply 2 digit numbers with a contextual story for the Stepping Up maths group to complete.
