NZ Identity: Parliament

As part of our New Zealand Identity unit we have been learning all about New Zealand Parliament.


Here is a link to the online modelling book for this unit if learning.


We have learned all about the different roles that people have in parliament.



Some things that I have found interesting are:
  • That there are three readings before a law can be made.
  • That the opposition trys to disagrees with the goverment to make it seem like it is a bad idea.
  • That there are 120 seats in parliament.



Standard Form, Rounding and Decimal Place Value.

In this maths group I found the second IXL activitie hard because hyou had to make sure you had the right amount of zeros infront or behind the number.
I found how you can make the bigger numbers smaller by writing it differently.

Identify the number of tenths, hundredths and thousandths in numbers up to three decimal places.

Here are some screen shots of my IXL activeites I did.
