  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on developing our skills at doing scale drawings
    • We are FOCUSING on developing our skills at reading and listing bearings and grid coordinates
    • We are FOCUSING on discussing units of measurement
    • We are FOCUSING on evaluating how to convert between units of measurement


    Success Criteria:

    - I can understand the area and square metre of different shapes

    - I can calculate the area of parallelograms

    - I can calculate the area of trapezia

    - I can calculate the perimeter and side of shapes with an unknown side

    - I can create geometric art using my knowledge of different shapes

    - I can use grid coordinates to create drawings

    - I can use bearings to follow and create mazes

    - I can do a drawing that is to scale

    - I can convert between mm, cm, m and km

    - I can use specific parameters to create a shape for a box that is abhorrent to zombies

    - I can critique mine and others’ cookie box creations and give constructive feedback 

    - I can use constructive feedback to improve my cookie box plan



    Activities:

    - Draw your dream bedroom with everything in the bedroom (bed, cupboard, bedside cabinets) all to scale

    - Connect the Dots: reading the coordinates given to you and using them to make crosses on a cartesian plane, then connecting the crosses to make a drawing
