Term 3: Week 3

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING angles and their properties
• We are EXPLORING, selecting and defining angle types, and classifying angles
• We are EXPLORING how to calculate angles on a straight line
• We are EXPLORING 3D shapes and constructing nets using geometric equipment
• We are MEASURING and converting mm to centimetres to meters and kilometres
• We are CALCULATING areas of squares and triangles
• We are CALCULATING volumes of cubes and rectangles

Authentic Outcomes:  Construct gift packaging for your 'states of matter' honey rice bubble slice. (Create a net for a boxed gift)

Success Criteria:  I can...
• Measure an angle using a protractor (sharp shoot over the vertex, ensure the horizontal line of the protractor is aligned correctly, read from zero)
• Name the types and properties of acute, right, obtuse & reflex angles 
• Name types of triangles
• Name 3D shapes
• Identify and convert units of length (mm, cm, m & km)

Mental Strategies, Timetables and Key Skills revision. 

Class Activities:   Geometry & Measurement
1.  Ludi 'Speed Challenge' for all groups.  Then watch  video. 
2. Whole class investigation - scissors, coloured paper and glue (angles in triangle add to 180°).  - Investigation
3. Glue into exercise books.
4. View video. 
5. Complete practice task - 'Area of Triangles'.   
6. Selected students in 'Pythagoras' have Mathex training  (maths problem solving) with Miss Kindley.  

Homework:   
Maths Buddy is your priority for your at-home practice. Please complete your set homework tasks by Friday at 9:30am (Forest's homework routine has now changed to 'Due on Fridays & re-issued on Fridays' to allow you more time ).  If you have completed your assigned activities please do extra practice on your 'Ludi'  timetables programme. 
Please record your homework progress in your school diary.  (eg. Monday 2 x MB tasks completed).
