Maths ( Measuring Obiject in CM, MM and M)

 Objects

Grey Circle Table =100mm x 72.3mm

                              =10cm x 7.23cm

                              =1m x 0.0723m




Second Measurement 

Door=73.2mm x 199.5mm

        =7.32cm x 19.95cm

        =0.0732m x 0.1995m



Third Measurement

Tv= 146mm x 84.1mm

    =14.6cm x 8.41cm

    =1.46m x 0.841m

Math

 How To Convert MM To M

Today in maths we learned how to convert mm into m, I will show you how to do it. To convert mm into m, I move the decimal point 3 places left. Today we worked on moving the decimal and dividing, tomorrow for maths we will be working on multiplying.

E.g

3800mm is 3.8metres 

47200mm is 4.720metres

12700mm is 127metres

720mm is 0.720metres

Parts Of The Tree - VOT

 Task Today.

Explain with a graphic the different parts of the tree? The tree has three main parts: leaves, branches, and roots. The upper part of the tree with the branches is called the crown. The roots are the part of the tree that grows underground. Leaves are the part of the crown of a tree.



Show and explain the different parts of the cross-section of a trunk?


Sapwood: Sapwood is the new wood under the Cambium layer. It is often lighter in color than true wood or heartwood and it conducts water and mineral salts from the root system of the tree to the leaves.


Dead bark: Dead bark or outer bark is a layer of dead tissue that is a protection for the trunk and branches. It also helps to reduce water loss from the living cells of the tree. Some trees shed their dead bark each year while on others dead bark is reduced only by the weathering processes.


Live Bark: Live bark is a layer of living tissue under the dead bark. Food materials produced by the leaves are conducted through the live bark to the branches, trunk, and roots of the tree.


Cambium Layer: The Cambium layer is the layer of thin cells, invisible to the naked eye positioned inside the live bark. This layer of cells facilitates all growth in the thickness of the tree trunk. The Cambium grows wood cells on the inside and lives barks cells on the outside. 


Heartwood: Heartwood is made up of cells that are actually dead. It provides the strength necessary to support the tree. Heartwood is formed by the blockage of the channels which conduct food materials. Blockage occurs as stored food materials are converted into tennis, resins, and other related substances. Heartwood is much more durable than sapwood.


The Pith: The pith is at the center of the tree and is a soft, pulpy zone that is usually about one centimeter in diameter. 




Describe/Explain how trees become timber? 

Felling of trees. Conversion of logs into boards. Drying of green boards into dry timber, ready for use. The first stage of timber processing involves tree felling and only mature trees are selected to allow young ones to grow.  Stage two involves stacking tree trunks/logs in a store or clearing till they are required at the sawmill. This stage is mainly to allow the logs tree completely from moisture or water.


Describe explain the different types of cuts? (e.g Quartersawn) Quartersawn lumber is defined as wood where the annular growth rings intersect the face of the board at a 60 to 90-degree angle. When cutting this lumber at the sawmill, each log is sawed at a radial angle into four quarters, hence the name. Dramatic flecking is also present in red oak and white oak. A Plain saw a saw in which the blade has teeth with no pitch. Plain sawn lumber is produced by making the first cut on a tangent to the circumference of the log. Each additional cut is then made parallel to the one before. This method produces the widest possible boards with the least amount of log waste. Rift sawn lumber is typically narrow with a very straight grain pattern on the face of the board. Rift sawn lumber is usually used with oak to avoid the flecks that are common in the species. The annular rings or a rift sawn board are about 30-60 degrees to the face of the board, but 45 degrees is the most optimum.


Give an example of defects in timber 
Knot Knots are imperfections from branches that cause living wood grain to grow around them.



Give examples of timber used in NZ 
Rimu (red pine) 
Matai (black pine) 

Baltic pine-Baltic Pine is known to be relatively light and is widely used in construction, this timber an ideal choice for window frames, flooring, cladding, furniture and general carpentry. Baltic Pine trees have a variety of uses and it is an ideal plantation timber.

Redwood- redwood can't grow to be the tallest tree on earth alone. Redwoods create the strength to withstand powerful winds and floods by extending their roots more than 50 feet from the trunk and living in groves where their roots can intertwine.

Kauri-  a tall timber tree of New Zealand having fine white straight-grained wood.

Budget for retirement

Think about what weekly expenses might be in today’s money.

  • Take basics into account, such as insurance, maintaining the house and car, or replacing a major appliance.
  • Build-in some funds for the unexpected.
  • Think about the big things that might need to be paid for later on – like a new car, a new roof, or repainting the house.


1.What happen if you retire?

Many Kiwi Saver providers will let you remain in their Kiwi Saver Scheme and continue to manage your money for you even if you are eligible to withdraw – so although you won't receive any member tax credits, you can continue to save. You may also be able to consolidate any other retirement savings into the same account.


2.Time frame to their retirement?

You can access your Kiwi Saver savings at the age of 65. Once you’ve reached the age of 65 you can opt-out of this requirement and make a partial or full withdrawal, however, if you do so you will forego your entitlement to the Government contribution and compulsory employer contributions.


3.How much $ to invest?

When you join Kiwi Saver, you either pick a fund you want to invest in, or if you can't decide, the IRD picks one for you. After that, your employer must contribute the value of 3% of your gross salary into your Kiwi Saver fund. You will also have to contribute at least 3% of the gross amount.


4. How much do they went to pay in management fees?

Key Takeaways. The average fee for a financial advisor's services is 1.02% of assets under management (AUM) annually for an account of $1 million. An actively-managed portfolio usually involves a team of investment professionals buying and selling holdings–leading to higher fees.
