Writing
The final activity of this unit will hopefully be the most fun! Read the explanation below especially the top tips.
Remember, your performance could just be for yourself or your family or you might want to record it in some way – I’d certainly love to receive the videos if you do. Whatever you decide to do though, you’ll need to know your poem really well in order to enjoy performing it. Take note of tip b above in particular because varying the speed of parts of your poem is an easy way to keep your audience interested. I’m sure your poetry deserves a performance to remember even if you perform it just for yourself in front of a mirror! During rehearsals of course you might discover that parts of your poem could still be improved – it’s never too late to edit your writing after all.

Have a go at the In Focus task but don’t open your textbooks yet because there are a few parts to the problem I’d like you to work out before you accidentally(!) see the answers. Check your answers to the In focus task in the Let’s Learn section on pages 236-239 but only after you’ve completed all the problems below:
Firstly, calculate the percentage of lime juice.
Then calculate the height in cm of each column in this order: banana, lime, orange.
Now have a go at this part of the In Focus task:
Let’s work out pineapple together then you can calculate the volume of the other fruits:
We need to calculate what 40% of 250ml is to find out how many ml of pineapple are in the bottle.
Let’s calculate 10% first. So 250 divided by 10 = 25. We know that 10% = 25ml. 40% is 4 times as much as 10% so 25 x 4 = 100ml.
The volume of pineapple = 100ml!
You can work out the volume of banana in a similar way but when you calculate the orange you will have to break 32% into two parts (30 and 2) to work it out. When you calculate the lime work out 1% of 250 first. What would you divide 250 by to calculate 1%?
Once you’ve got your answers, open your textbook and see how you did in the Let’s Learn section. Read the methods shared through very carefully. I found some of them hard to follow. Did you get the correct answers using a different method?
Now complete Guided Practice questions 1 and 2 on pages 240/241.
Hints if needed:
Q1. The pink section is the same size as the blue and purple sections combined.
Q2. Watch out, the pie chart colours don’t match the graphs. Does that matter?
