Maths learning story. A large group of ladies are performing a siva at Pina’s church to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary.  Pina has been asked to decorate the puletasi they will wear on the day. It takes 4/7 of a metre of material to decorate one puletasi. How many metres of material will Pina need to decorate 56 puletasi? How many for 147 puletasi? For this problem we are trying to find out ‘how many metres of material will Pina need to decorate 56 puletasi?’. 1st we did 100cm divided by 7= 14 cm, so 1/7 = 14cm & 2mm. Next we did 14cm x 4= 56 cm. After that we did 4 x 2mm= 8mm, last we did 56cm + 8mm= 56cm 8mm. In maths I included some success criteria like managing self and like asking questions when I don’t understand or I need help with something.

Standing in the middle of nowhere wondering where to go. Walking around everywhere as if i’m lost in the forest. Feeling the scorching sun as if the dentist is checking my teeth with the bright light. Seeing kids moaning for food. People rushing to get food as if it was the last thing they could eat. Standing in a long line as if I was stuck in traffic. Standing in the front row being asked to go up the stage and to sing with stan walker feeling like there’s butterflies in my stomach. Hearing the music surrounding me while standing with stan walker. Coming off the stage seeing people fighting for their lives to meet stan walker. Standing waiting for my order and hearing the sizzling sound of the yumminess coming. Tasting the crunchiness and the sweetness of panikeke mixed with pineapple. Sitting down with a full tummy ache listening to the musical songs that has been made and hearing famous singers singing upon their voices as if I was singing. Everybody going with
