Maths Week 5

This week our group has been working on adding and subtracting fractions, and ordering fractions. I think ordering fractions has been the hardest. It hasn't necessarily been hard, but has been very time consuming. You have to convert every fraction so they have the same denominator, and you can see what fraction is bigger. You just have to be prepared to take your time, and work through it sometimes slowly.

Maths Fractions 24 May 2019

In maths this week we have learned fractions.  We have been looking at simplifying fractions, equivalent fractions.  Equivalent fractions sometimes take a while to work out.  To do well in simplifying fractions you need to know division well.

Should Autistic Students Should Have More Government Support

I think that the government should put more money into support for autistic students at public schools.  They should pay for as much support as they can for them.  They spent 1 million dollars on frozen slushie machines for prison guards around New Zealand, when that could have been a million dollars of support for autistic students.  

Autistic students can be distracting or disruptive in peoples classes, and that's not fair on the other students.  If autistic people go to public schools they need support.  They can get overwhelmed by noises and social interactions, and that may prevent their learning and their classmates learning.  

It isn't fair that prison guards get 1 million dollars of slushie machines, and there are autistic people who's parents can't afford to support them.  The government should fund more money for autistic students, and less money for unnecessary things.
