Do you know your way around a compass?
Do you even know what a compass is. A compass is a thing that tells you where North, South, East and West is. Here is what one looks like.
Any ways for Maths this week we looked at directions on the app google maps. This was our quest:
You are the warriors chosen by your Rangatira to lead a rescue mission. You are safe at home at Kaiapoi Pa but have heard news of your kinsmen in distress. Ōnawe Pa is under attack and you must get there as soon as possible to rescue those who are under threat and help fight against Te Rauparaha’s advancing war party. You have been given the following brief:
1.You must measure distance between the two locations ( remember the roads we have today may not be your chosen path)
2.What is the most direct route from one place to the other
3.Include the compass directions both locations are from the centre of Ōtautahi.
4.Find how long it would take by boat.
5.Find how long it would take by car.
This was a map of the the 2 Pas.
This was my screenshot for number 2
The distance is 56.6km
This was my screenshot for number 4
The distance is 112km
This was my screenshot for number 5
The distance is 76km
The direction is South East from Kaiapoi to Ōnawe but then it is North West from Ōnawe to Kaiapoi. The distance is 56.5 kilometres.
What route would of you taken?
