12 October - 18 October

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING Algebra by finding and representing relationships in spatial and number patterns, using tables and graphs and by discovering general rules for linear relationships.
• We are EXPLORING units by interpreting different quantities
• We are EXPLORING unit conversions by connecting different units
• We are EXPLORING Area, perimeter and volume of 2D and 3D shapes

• Success Criteria: I can/have...
  

  • measure distance and angles using standard units of measurements
  • use angles and measurements to calculate the unknown side/ length
  • identify the hypotenuse, opposite side, adjacent side of a right angled triangle
  • identify a right angled isosceles triangles
  • understand equal lengths have equal opposite angles in a triangle
  • create a rule using right angled triangle for calculating unknown side - Pythagoras rule
  • create a proportional  rule for similar triangles using a right angled triangle to calculate the height of a wall
  • plot coordinates using 3 figure bearings and graph the coordinates
  • draw simple linear graphs
  • use linear graphs to understand linear equations
  • create linear equation rule of y = mx+c from any straight line graph
  • using y=mx +c predict the value of y when there is a change in x

  Activities:

  1. Using Spheros plan a route using 3 figure bearings on the playground.
  2.  Create 2 D shapes with spheros calculate angles, lengths, area, perimeter
  3. calculate speed using distance and time data
  4. plot a graph for speed using the rule y = mx +c
  5. use a A4 paper to create a clinometer,  ( right angled isosceles triangle)
  6. use properties of similar triangles to calculate height  (proportion)
  7. Test - review of past week's lessons. Self mark, buddy with higher level students to undo errors.
  8. Where to next?
