  • Kia ora koutou,

    He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.
    What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.

    In Week 6, we will focus on consolidating our mapping and graphing skills. This week is all about reinforcing what we have learned in the past weeks. We will continue to explore maps, applying our knowledge of latitude, longitude, and coordinates, while also refining our graphing skills, particularly bar graphs, line charts, and pie charts. Our goal is to solidify your ability to use these skills confidently and accurately.

    FOCUS / ARONGA Learning Intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on consolidating our understanding of mapping skills, including latitude, longitude, and grid referencing.
    • We are FOCUSING on refining our graphing skills, including bar graphs, line charts, and pie charts.
    • We are FOCUSING on interpreting both maps and graphs to connect data with geographical information.
    • We are FOCUSING on applying these skills to real-world data and geographical case studies.

    Kotahitanga (Unity):

    Mastering mapping and graphing skills helps us better understand our world and the connections between people, places, and data. These skills unite visual information with geographical knowledge, creating a clearer picture of global issues and events.

    Learning Intentions:

    • Students will consolidate their mapping skills, including the use of latitude, longitude, and grid referencing.
    • Students will enhance their graphing skills by creating and interpreting bar graphs, line charts, and pie charts.
    • Students will connect geographical data with visual representations through maps and graphs.
    • Students will apply these skills to real-world scenarios, analyzing data in geographical contexts.

    Success Criteria:

    • I can accurately apply my knowledge of mapping, including latitude, longitude, and coordinates.
    • I can confidently construct and interpret bar graphs, line charts, and pie charts.
    • I can connect data to geographical information using maps and graphs.
    • I can apply my mapping and graphing skills to real-world case studies and data sets.

    This week is all about practicing and perfecting the skills you have learned so far. Let’s work together to ensure you feel confident and capable in using both mapping and graphing techniques to explore and understand our world.
