For our maths, we have been learning about scale.

In real life we use scale because we cant draw huge plans the exact size of what they are, like a big building or a machine.

Architects, engineers and builders use scale to make accurate plans.

We decided to draw a scale drawings of the multicourt.

First, we went to the multicourt to draw rough sketches of the lines but you could tell they weren’t to scale and our drawings didn’t look like the multicourt.

After with a very long measuring tape, we split in to two groups  and we measured all the different sections and lines.

 Next, we got squared paper to draw proper scale drawings.  The square paper was different sizes for different groups.  For example 1cm  equals 1m.  Or 1 cm equals 50cm.

 Even though they drawings look different they are all the correct size.

This term we have done lots of fun and exciting things in maths.
