Today we learned all about acute, right, obtuse and straight angles. We learned to identify them, tell the difference between them, make them and then use them to make shapes. We did all this through playing games and investigating outside.
Outdoor mental maths and problem solving
After a triangle hunt on the way out to the pitch we organised ourselves into the shape of a triangle. While we were doing that some of the girls and boys noticed some triangles made by the clouds…..unfortunately they moved too quickly and we didn’t quite take the photos on time!
We then continued our learning using our mental maths skills to solve problems making certain totals along the sides of triangles.
and create friends of ten rockets by creating calculations that gave the answer ten inside the shape of a rocket made using sticks.
The sun shone for us all afternoon too which was great? 🌞
