Primary 7 finished off their unit of work on angles with a maths challenge in the forest this week. They were to come up with a 2D shape or 3D structure which included at least one triangle showing angles adding to 180 degrees. They had to use 20 sticks and include each type of angle a right, straight, acute, obtuse and reflex angle. Some of the children were even able to identify some corresponding and alternate angles too. I think we all enjoyed the task as well as some nicer weather for a change! Back in class we are printing out our designs so that we can estimate and measure the angles we created. Well done to Tony, Luca and Josh who make a really interesting, huge angular frame in the trees, fabulous teamwork and also to Nicole who created a fascinating angular mobile. Jake, Mikey and Tony were able to use a coloured cube code to show all their angles and worked extremely well together on task finishing ahead of everyone! Super work P7.
Well done P7! What a fantastic example of using outdoor learning to teach maths, with a problem solving and team work thrown in for good measure. Looks like everyone had fun too!
