  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to design a shape of a cookie box that zombies will not eat


    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 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:

    - Making observations on a cookie box that will be given to you in groups (this box WILL be eaten by zombies)

    - Creating a plan for a box with a different area but with a similar or smaller paper size that will fit a specific number of cookies

    - Testing and peer reviewing our box plans to see if zombies would eat our cookies by calculating area of box and shape of final box created
