Highest Common Factor

 LI: To find the Highest Common Factor

                          

For Maths we were learning about the Highest Common Factor. Firstly a factor is a number that times a certain number. So the Highest Common Factor is the highest factor that the two numbers have in common or share. Our task was to explain what a Highest Common Factor was and also to explain what a factor was. In my DLO it also shows an example of what a Highest Common Factor is. 

Lowest Common Multiple

 LI: To find the lowest common multiple

                       

For maths we were learning about the Lowest Common Multiple. Above is a DLO me and my group created to explain what a LCM is. Firstly a multiple is a number that can be divided or times by a certain number. So the Lowest Common Multiple is the lowest multiple the two numbers have in common or share. Our task was to explain what a Lowest Common Multiple was and also to explain what a multiple was. In our DLO it also shows an example of what a Lowest Common Multiple is. 

Law of Inertia

LI: To strengthen your understanding to forces, gravity and inertia

            

This week for reading we have been learning about Inertia, the part of science that describes the changes by force, or either being still in rest. Due to force. There are three laws of inertia which are Inertia of Direction, Inertia of Rest and Inertia of Motion. We created a DLO about what Inertia is, and the rules of it. We thought this was really interesting, because we thought it was all just gravity, but there’s more. 

Drug Abuse

LI: To use transitional vocabulary

Below is my explanation. I based my explanation on drug abuse. I talked about why people take drugs and why they cant stop taking them.

A drug is a substance/chemical that is not water, food or oxygen. Some people intend to abuse drugs. They either grow them and sell them on the black market or buy them off the black market and ingest them. Why do people do this you may ask? Well it’s quite simple, people take drugs to escape reality, depression or out of just pure curiosity.

People make foolish decisions like taking drugs in the first place, of course these choices have consequences. Some say, “Why don’t they just stop taking drugs?” Well It’s not that simple, drugs are highly addictive which is why people can’t just ‘stop’ taking drugs. Drugs are as addictive as being addicted to screens! When people take drugs they hallucinate, in other words see visions that aren’t really there. As a result they have barely any control over their body and get into bad situations, luckily the drug effects wear off after a while.

Drugs are extremely harmful to the human body, they change a lot of things about the user taking them such as their appearance and their mental & physical health. Drug overdose makes you exceedingly unhealthy. From 1999 to 2018, over 750,000 people have died due to drug overdose, and this is only in the US!

If i were Prime Minister

LI: To think deeply about a change i would make If i were Prime Minister I would make public transport cheaper because i think the amount you need to pay at the moment is too much.

National Party

LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informal choice



To decide which political party I would vote for I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision. If I was 18 I would vote for National Party because they can do a lot to make New Zealand better such as providing every student home internet access to continue their education. This means if National Party won the election in my electorate Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi would be our member of parliament and Judith Collins would become the Prime Minister.

DARE to make a choice

LI: To strengthen our ability to make positive life choices

Today we were doing a program made by the police called D.A.R.E. I created a DLO answering the questions in the DLO above. DARE means Drug Abuse Resistance Education. Something new i learnt was that not all drugs are illegal and bad. Drugs are a chemical/substance that is not water, food or oxygen. Did you know that chocolate, milo, tea and coffee are all drugs?
