title: Potential impacts on the NZ container shipping network if international emissions were included in 2050 targets

authors: Trent, Nadia M

abstract: The purpose of this submission is to highlight the necessity of considering a maritime network view when analysing the potential impacts of including emissions from international shipping in the country's climate targets. The proposal document only briefly considers network impacts.   In particular, we illustrate that the choice of emission measurement proposed could result in markedly different future states for Aotearoa New Zealand’s maritime network, with implications for the economy and biosecurity.

title: Deepening students' understanding of multiplication and division by exploring divisibility by nine

authors: Young-Loveridge, Jennifer

subjects: education

abstract: This paper explores how a focus on understanding divisibility rules can be used to help deepen students’ understanding of multiplication and division with whole numbers. It is based on research with seven Year 7–8 teachers who were observed teaching a group of students a rule for divisibility by nine. As part of the lesson, students were shown a way of proving why the divisibility rule for nine works, using materials grouped in tens and hundreds. After the lesson, students’ understanding of multiplication and division was considerably deepened.

title: The first accurate and precise calendar dating of New Zealand Māori Pā, using Otāhau Pā as a case study.

authors: Hogg, Alan G.

subjects: Māori pā

abstract: This research investigates the potential of radiocarbon wiggle-match dating of palisade posts to provide precise and accurate calendar ages for Māori pā (forts), using Otāhau Pā in the inland Waikato region, New Zealand, as a case study. Even though pā are a dominant element of the pre-European North Island archaeological landscape, they are poorly understood archaeologically, with systematic investigations hampered by the relative lack of precision in radiocarbon dating within the context of New Zealand’s comparatively short prehistory. Using the Southern Hemisphere calibration curve SHCal13, we determine wiggle-match calibrated ages for three palisade posts, using different sampling resolutions to determine the cost- effectiveness of the method. We also test the accuracy of the wiggle-match by obtaining new Southern Hemisphere calibration data from known calendar-age kauri.
