  1. Sweatshirt- The surf shop sweatshirt is cheaper because you take 30% off and it’s cheaper than the other sweatshirt.
  2. Sweatshirt- The surf shop sweatshirt is $18 because you take 30% off and the other sweatshirt is $28 because you take 40% off, so the sweatshirt is $10 cheaper.

  1. Jacket- Surf the waves shop jacket is cheaper because even though it has a lower percent it is still cheaper.

The thing that I found most challenging was using percentages to solve the equation.

Some strategies we did:
12 ÷ 3 =1 2/3
. Find a fraction of another fraction by multiply.
. Describe and show remaining tenths, hundredths and thousandths as decimals fractions and relate them to replace value order.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

  • The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
  • The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
  • The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
  • There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
  • Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.


We have focussed on some key concepts when doing this learning.
These are listed and explained in the table below.
