  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on statistics by doing an investigation into paper plane flight.
    • We are FOCUSING on measurement by investigating how various plane wingspans affect flight length.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    - convert between different units of measurement

    - identified a variable to change that could make paper planes fly longer.

    - carry out a statistical investigation to find out what makes a paper plane fly the longest.

    - estimate lengths

    - measure lengths using a measuring tape

    - compare my estimate to the actual measurements


    Estimating various lengths around the classroom

    Measuring the lengths using a tape measure

    - how accurate were your estimates?
