Cicadas Do Maths

 For this task I had to create a timeline of what I may be doing when I am 17, 34, 51, 68 and 85. I had to think about where I will be, how I might feel and what I might be doing. 

The reason why I am doing this is because I have learned that Cicadas are able to do maths according to their life cycle and how they are able to prevent usual predator attacks by using the prime numbers. However this task is based on me for every 17 years of my life.

 Below will show my timeline and the information about where I will be, what I could be doing and how I may feel.

17 - I will be a yr 12 still in college working towards NCEA lvl 2. I wish to surround myself with the people who are good and well behaved. I believe I will be studying hard to succeed and achieve my goals along the way, giving back to those who I owe, living the best and having fun. I hope to have learned how to drive and work a small job earning pocket money.

34 - I believe I will be in my first year working as a Cosmetic Surgeon usually earning between $72,000 and $124,000. Using the income I will pay off the fees. I wish to keep in contact with current friends at school and will totally keep in touch with my family. Hoping I will find a home that I can settle into before having my own little “Hope” family.

51 - Hopefully by then I will have a family of my own, supporting them along their way through life including my original. As I said before I believe I would be a Cosmetic Surgeon hopefully working in the private sector at the top will earn me up to 600,000 which will help me support my loved ones and myself with bills, mortgage, landmark, etc

68 - At this age I would want to make the most of being at a average age to be able to go around and have fun. Go overseas, travel, trips, hangouts or do things that will be memorable. Catch up with people or go out and explore more. I may have a partner to company throughout the activities and perhaps have my family/friends tag along.

85 - Around this age I would probably be looking after grandchildren. I would most likely be retired, resting and relaxing. I would feel like living the rest of my life enjoying and supporting my loved ones, wishing for the best until the end.

Bridge Builder

 A task set for this week is about learning how to create a bridge using different shapes with any use of materials.

I needed to design and build my own bridge using geometry shapes such as triangles, arches and rectangles that spans about 30 cm.

Below will show a template that will display the before and after of the testing of my bridge and the explanations of some questions.

 And Below this template will present a video of me testing how much load my bridge can carry.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful day :)

Senior Friendship Book

Senior Friendship Book

Last week my class Rm11 made a copy of a doc that had questions that we had to answer. We were informed that the questions were there for us to answer and for our classmates, teachers, and others to get to know us better. It makes it clearer for people to get a better understanding of our background and where we came from. Miss Tupou our teacher, wanted to create a Senior Friendship Book that had the same information about all our class members. It gave us questions like, What is your favorite ____? or What are your hobbies? or How are you most close within your classroom? and even a photo of yourself. Once we finished answering them we had to send the doc to our teacher then to go over the answers if there were any mistakes just like a writing test.
