Why is perseverance important

why is perseverance important

I am going to be talking about why perseverance is important. My 3 main ideas is standing up for people, treat other people the way you want to be treated and try new things.

Standing up for people - Standing up for people is important because if you don't stand up for other people then no-one will stand up for you when your in trouble. It's good to stand up for people because if you are in trouble people will stand up for you and you won't need to get worried about anything because you have people to back you up.

Treat people the way you wanted to be treated and be kind - It is important to be kind because if you be kind to people then they will be kind to others. You treat others the same way you treat your parents so that they will treat you the way you want them to. It's also good to be kind to them then they will be kind back to you and be kind to others.

Try new things and never give up - It's always good to try new things, like when you move to a different area you can make new friends from the neighbourhood. It is also good to try new foods when go to a restaurant because it might taste good but might not look good to eat. You can also try a new sport and if you fail then keep trying until you it and never give up so you can reach your goal.

In this piece of writing you should now know why perseverance is important and you should use it everywhere you go, you should remember this so that if someone is getting put down you can help them and if you see someone giving up then you should encourage them to finish whatever they are doing.

APPLICATION

The above diagram is of a section of a bridge. A, B, C, D, E, F, G are vertical supports.

The vertical support A = 10 metres long.

ALSO:  length A = G, length B = F length C = E.

The length of B is 3/ 5 of A.- 6 m

The length of C is ⅘ of B- 4.8 m

The length of D is 9/10 of C - 0.48m

Calculate the total length of the supports. 12.28

Fractions

WALT:  add and subtract fractions and decimals

The first thing I did was change the denominators that equal the same number. The number was 12 because 4x3=12. So instead of 1/4 + 1/3 is now 3/12 + 4/12 which is more easy to add.
