  • Kia ora 8C2. Welcome to Week 3 of Term 4!

    This week, we will continue to actively exploring Geometry and Measurement in Maths sessions, which you will apply in your 'Growing Great Innovations' Inquiry Project


    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING polygons to calculate area and perimeter of polygons.
    • We are EXPLORING formulae for area and perimeter of polygons.
    • We are EXPLORING units of measurement to calculate area and perimeter of polygons.



    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • name some types of polygons and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons.
    • apply the formulae to calculate area and perimeter of polygons.
    • convert units of measurement to calculate area and perimeter.
    • name an d measure angles.

    Activities:
