Fraction Word Sums

Hola readers and welcome back to my blog !  Today I'll be doing a stage 7/8 fraction word problem. Four-sixths of the books on the shelf are picture books. The other 24 books on the shelf are non-fiction books. How many picture books are there?


So firstly what I did was figure out 4/6 + n/6 = 1whole which is 4/6 + 2/6 = 1whole. I used n as the variable because I am trying to figure out what the missing number is. Next was finding out what 1/6 = ? and then I figure out 2/6 = 24  so that means 1/6 = 12. 

Thirdly, what i did was to calculate what the value of 4/6 is. I calculated that 4/6 = 48 so there are 48 picture books. This problem is about solving word fractions, it was very simple because the hints and clues just made it more easier to solve this equation and I hope you've learnt something  new from this equation tonight !

😷The Deadly Flu😷

 IALT : Find out about information about the deadly flu 1918

In 1918 there was a very unspeakable virus called Influenza  which caused a global pandemic. Everyone from worldwide, 50 million people died  from this global pandemic. Even in really isolated New Zealand, the deaths were very unspeakable. Not any events had many people killed in such a short timing. 

Deadly Speed

The flu in 1918 travelled very quickly which spread worldwide. It was made to be very worse because there was something else happening at the same time it was the First  World War. Soldiers had been brought together from all over the world, and they often lived in crowded, unsanitary conditions. Many of the soldiers  had  weak immune system from the compromised by the stress of the war.

The 1918 Pandemic Summary by Auckland

Most people who get the flu recover, but in 1918, a previously unknown strain of the influenza virus caused a global pandemic. 

Worldwide, at least 50 million people died. Even in relatively isolated New Zealand, the death toll was shocking. No event had ever killed so many of us in such a short time. 

Deadly Speed 

The 1918 flu travelled with deadly speed. This was made worse by something else that was happening at the same time: the First World War. Soldiers had been brought together from all over the world, and they often lived in crowded, unsanitary conditions. Many also had weak immune systems, compromised by the stress of war. These two things, along with the constant movement of troops and supplies, allowed the killer virus to thrive. 

Hangout Protocols during Distance Learning

Today we did a collaborative group task to discuss hangout expectations and protocols during online learning. Ms Ashley shared a PB4L slide deck that had videos attached that we needed to watch before we connect with our teacher. 

Doing these tasks made the expectations clear making sure that we are set us for success. We were super excited for our first session and there was lots of laughter and joy because we had not seen each other for a while.

Next it was back to business with group discussions and we had to come up with a create task. This is what our group came up with.  What made this task interesting is that we had to link the hangout expectations to our school values which are: Mana Tangata, Ako, Manaakitanga, Kaitiakitanga and Whanaungatanga.

I hope you learnt a little more about the do's and don't of Google Hangouts. Please feel free to provide any feedback or feedforward.
