Maths

WALT know about perimeter/area/volume of shapes & limits of answer.

For example 

A square sticky note has an area of 64 square centimeters. How long is each side of the sticky note? the answer is 8 because if you multiply all the sides together you will get 64

Another example is 

A square notepad has a perimeter of 40 centimeters. How long is each side of the notepad? the answer is 10 because if you multiply each side by 10 you will get 40

Writing Politics

It is the year of the election. and people are getting ready to vote, for whatever of the nine political parties they have to choose from, on the 20th of September. Make sure you pick the one that meets your needs with all their policies.

The first thing you should look at if you have kids is education, you want the best education for your kids so then they can be successful. Lets talk about free tertiary education, National strongly disagrees with free tertiary education, Labor on the other hand is neutral and wants to make it more affordable. Green somewhat agree and will cap it then progressively reduce the fees, NZ First Strongly agrees and says they reject the current model where you have to borrow to live. United Future strongly agree and wants to increase the quality of tertiary education, Maori party Strongly agrees and wants to make sure everyone gets a chance to have tertiary education,

Mana Strongly agree and wants free tertiary education to be available for everyone, Act Strongly disagree and want to add interest to student loans. Conservative Somewhat agree and wants free tertiary but have a different means from other parties.

Healthcare is also very important if you have kids because if they get badly hurt and you don't have the money some of the parties will use taxes to pay for their health care and they have been asked what age they are going to give free healthcare to. National thinks that it should be somewhat older and will extend the age for free doctors and prescriptions to anyone under 13, Labor thinks it should be somewhat older and will put it up to 13, Green thinks much older and says they will give free healthcare to all new zealanders from birth till they are 18. NZ First think somewhat older and are going to give free healthcare to all primary students, United Future thinks somewhat older and free up to 18 for just visits, Maori party Much older and will give free health care up to 18, Mana thinks that it should be much older and will give free primary health care, Act say about the same as now and will make it free visits under 13, Conservative say somewhat older and says that if you go to the doctor early it saves money in the long run.

Law and order can affect your kids as well because without law and order your kids won’t feel safe, the parties got asked if they are going to make the sentences stiffer for repeat offenders. National are neutral and they are working toward the law to keep people locked away for a lot longer, Labour somewhat disagree and think prison is unlikely to fix the problem, Green somewhat disagree and are lowering re imprisonment and re conviction rates, NZ First Strongly agree and will introduce cumulative sentencing for offenders convicted of more than one crime, United Future Somewhat disagree restorative justice/positive rehabilitation policy to lessen recidivism rates, Maori party Strongly agree and want to throw out the 3 strikes legislation, Mana strongly agree and want to reduce the use of prison as a response to wrongdoing and invent a restorative system, Act didn't say anything about the subject, Conservative Strongly agree and think catch and release isn't working.

After looking at all the parties I have decided that the one that meets my needs is Green because they are offering free tertiary education and healthcare for anyone up to the age of 18 and that would help me in the future. So think before you vote.
