Maths art drawing a cardioid

Maths art on Monday 


Every two weeks inbetween my class does something called maths art Where we have to draw art using stuff like addition measurement and critical thinking and come out with really cool drawings.Well some times because i am not a very patient person and this involves a lot of patience.Any way this week we had to draw something called a cardioid in wich we started of with kind of a circle with 60 dots equally placed along the inside of the circle where we had to grab a ruler and draw straight lines across the lines in a pattern like 1-2 and then 2-4 and 3-6 in a pattern like that i hope you get it .Any ways after that we could make any type of design and i chose 1-4 4-8 and it didnt work very well so......yeah.But here is a picture of a cardioid

my maori hero (willie apiata)

                             My Maori biography on Willie Apiata

  Not so long ago in te kahu class there was a task where you had to make a biography on a Maori hero of your choice. My Maori hero was Willie Apiata because he was one of 165  holders of the caritas cross  here is the biography i wrote on that week.Willie Apiata was born in 1976 to parents who were maori and pakeha. His parents had separated when Willie was 2, his childhood spent at Waima in Northland. When he was a teen he moved to Te kaha and attended te-Whanau-a-apunia-area school. He left school when he was 15. 

When willie was 17 he enrolled in the nz army on the 6th of october, territorial force hauraki regiment of the Royal nz infantry regiment and unsuccessfully joined the Special air services in 1996. Willie fought for the Army, and on return from war, he had successfully attempted  for sas. 

In Afghanistan 20 fighter planes had attacked Apiata's camp  and were attacking with rocket propelled grenades. One had blown Apiata of the hood of his truck where he had been sleeping. 2 other men had been injured by shrapnel. Corporal D is one of those men. When apiata woke up from being knocked out, he carried the corporal to safety. Soon after Apiata joined the fight and barely got out alive, and from that willie had been one of the few holders of the Victoria cross and to this day he is still alive to tell the tail.
