This week for maths we are doing measurement. Using a picture of a pounamu on a grid that was 9 by 15 there were 135 squares all together. We had to figure out what the percentage of the grid was a Pendant. First I figured out how many squares of the grid where all pounamu. Some of the squares were Pendant and background so I had to add two squares together, like one square was ¾ background and ¼ Pendant so I added it to a square that had ¼ background and ¾ Pendant because that made one complete square of Pendant. Then once we finished finding out how many squares of Pendant we had to find the percentage. To find the percentage multiply the answer by 100, E.G - 65 (Pendant) ÷ 135 = 0.48 x 100 = 48. At first finding the percentage was hard but it got easier the more I tried it. Do you know how to find the percentage of something?
