Using a trundle wheel Primary 7/6 measured an outline of the home of a nobleman, a tomb-builder and the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The nobleman’s home measured 20m x 7m and the tomb-builder’s home measured 10m x 5m. The height of the Great Pyramid is 146m. We ran out of space in the playground, only reaching 80m so that helped us understand just how enormous it must be. CHALLENGE: Calculate the perimeter of the nobleman’s house and the tomb-builder’s.
I enjoyed going outside and learning how to use trundle wheel to see how big a pyrimids height is!!! 🙂
