Shape<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In term 1 our Outer Maths topic was 2D and 3D shapes. We looked at properties of shapes; counting the number of sides, faces, and vertices of each shape. We then used <\/span>this criterion<\/span> to sort 2D and 3D shapes.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Measurement<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our term 2 outer maths topic has been Measurement. We have been looking at area and length.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We used various non-standard units as well as rulers and metre sticks to measure the length of objects around the classroom. Measuring our friends and Miss Love became popular too!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We estimated the length of an object using centimetres and then took the exact measurement to check. Some of our estimates were very accurate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Area<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

As we near the end of term 2 we have been investigating the area of objects using different items. We measured our desks with textbooks (<\/span>it has an area of 13 textbooks) and we measure<\/span>d<\/span> the area of a <\/span>workbook<\/span> using Post-it Notes (it has an area of 9 Post<\/span>-i<\/span>t Notes<\/span>). We then investigated the area of our smallest jotter using cubes. We discovered our jotters have an area of 82 cubes.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
