Today we used a variety of skills to complete a maths teamwork task with Miss Murphy.
We had to follow instructions, plan, measure, cut and work as a team to create our own 100 square grid.
We then used mathematical language to direct each other to place objects on the correct square on our grids.
We used the terms – 90 degree turn, 180 degree turn, 270 degree turn and 360 degree turn, clockwise and anticlockwise.
P5/6 were challenged to use a protractor to create acute, right, obtuse and reflex angle slices of pizza. Fantastic results, I’d definitely be looking for a reflex angle slice myself!
After drawing them, we asked a peer to use a protractor to check our angles.
We have been learning to construct 3D shapes from their nets.
We have also been looking at creating the nets ourselves and then constructing them into their 3D shapes.
Last Thursday, we used our knowledge of tessellation to create digital tessellations using Word. We learnt how to use the shapes, change their colours and the keyboard shortcuts of copy and paste.
We were learning about tessellation today. Some children were set the challenge of creating their own shape to tessellate. They were given a rectangle and asked to create a different shape from it. They turned out fantastic.
We were revising the names of 2D shapes today and made pictures with the shapes.
