In Tangaroa the year has been based around kaitiakitanga, looking after our space, and we are trying to teach the year 1-3 to look after their playground, Rapuara. Me, Aaliyah, Lexie and Amber made a short video:
Our focus in maths today is multiples, multiples are numbers that go up, like 12, 24, 36, 48, or 5, 10, 15, 20, see on this link for information.
The past few weeks we have been learning about being smart and understanding how money, cards and the bank works. We have learned:
A credit card is a card that holds money from the bank, if you spend this money you must pay the same amount back to the bank.
After pay is where you purchase an item but you don’t have to pay straight away, you can pay later on.
Overdraft is when you buy something that is more money than you have, like you buy something that is $50 but you only have $40, then when you look at your bank account it will have a $-10. After you get more money put in then you will have $10 automatically taken off.
The money that you own on a card that you can use online and offline.
Like after pay, you buy things and pay after, but this would normally be more expensive and bigger interest rates.
A personal loan is money you get from the bank to buy houses or cars, but then you will probably have to pay more back to the bank.
Bankruptcy is when you have no money left and cannot pay your debts. In banqer, this can be initiated by the creditor.
Max overdraft limit is the maximum amount of money you are allowed to borrow.
I am going to explain how to do multiplication in tens (The easy way). If you are having to count with your fingers or use a calculator then you’re probably doing it wrong. Say 20 x 7 was put in front of you, you would normally go 20, 40, 60 etc, but no! 7 x 2 = 14 so you are taking the 2 and the 7, then you add the leftover 0, and that equals 140. Or 80 x 3, you take the 8 and 3 which is 8 x 3 = 24 + the 0 = 240. If you had 200 x 3 it would be the same rule, 2 x 3 = 6 but you would have to add an extra 0, so it would be 600, 200 x 3 = 600. Hopefully that helped.
Today and on wednesday we did something a little like a quick 20, but this one was a quick 100, and we had 10 minutes to do it. There were 100 questions to do and I got 82% correct. This is my reasolts.
