Math Revision (2020/2021) Part 1
Multiples, Factors & Prime
Prime numbers | Prime numbers are numbers that have only 2 factors: 1 and themselves. For example, the first 5 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. By contrast, numbers with more than 2 factors are called composite numbers. |
Composite Numbers | In math, composite numbers can be defined as the whole numbers that have more than two factors. Whole numbers that are not prime are composite numbers, because they are divisible by more than two numbers. |
Multiples | A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (not a fraction). |
Factors | A number or quantity that when multiplied with another, produces a given number or expression. A number divisible with a product with no remainders is a factor. |
The number one | 1 (one, also called unit, and unity) is a number and a numerical digit used to represent that number in numerals. It represents a single entity, the unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of unit length is a line segment of length 1. |

Waitangi Day
The Treaty of Waitangi is a contract between the British Crown and the Maori Chiefs from the North Island of New Zealand to establish a relationship between the former rivals. It was signed by a former Lieutenant-Governor, William Hobson in 1840, 16 of February and was also signed by the Maori people using Maori translated Treaty. Henceforward in 1934, the Treaty hadn’t been celebrated yet until then.
Up to now, there are people who accept this event as a day to celebrate every year; and those who are in opposition to this day being a “happy uniting day”. Citizens that celebrate Waitangi Day see it as the day the diversity in New Zealand was finally united and purified. Some also see Waitangi Day as a general public holiday to be with family and friends, which is great. Excluding this are a type of people who cannot tolerate this being a public holiday, and so petition that it’s a day of shame for New Zealand--remembering the violence between two races--” there’s no point! ” says Mike Hosking on television.
I myself can understand the perspective of both groups against the two different things, but however, I support the statement of it being a day to remember the alliance of the British and Maori because I personally believe that this day is appropriate for us to cherish, as it’s an important event to our New Zealand history and its indigenous people.

Health - Equality and Equity Between Culture !
To search for a place/area that’s composed of cultural and non-cultural belonging; relating to equity and equality.
I felt like I lacked to understand the cultural representation in our community, but I do know Glen Innes is interactive with all ethnicities and nationalities.
My group included myself, Maya, Paikea, Tiana, and Chastyti. Before taking off, we noted a few places to go to, and en-route, we thought of a couple more areas. Our first destination was around the Ruopotaka Marae, Te Oro (G.I Library), along with the Police Department - the environment involved several patterned rocks and walls that contributed to our Maori chronicles. Afterward, we headed toward a small area right beside Countdown, it had a walkway that embraced Maori culture possessing carved wooden statues and seats - the Countdown itself possessed no cultural belonging. Also, the Panmure train station comprised identical Polynesian detail on many objects.
Throughout this amazing experience, I managed to capture key information that will cooperate with my Health classes and my knowledge for our society. My team could improvise on having a specific time-line to spend at each location. This will ensure we collect equal amounts of data, without wasting time. Overall, I will cherish this learning style and hopefully receive the opportunity to re-do it.
