  • REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO

    REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions:

    • We are REFLECTING on review our learning on geometry and measurement by critiquing our cookie box constructions
    • We are REFLECTING on our learning by creating a new prototype for our cookie box


    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: 

    - Creating our boxes using our plan and then giving them to a friend to critique

    - When you get given a friend's cookie box plan, calculate its area and the amount of paper used and give them constructive criticism on how to improve their plan

    - Use the constructive criticism you get given to make changes to your plan

    - Creating a poster to display our final cookie box design
