  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    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
    • We are DISCOVERING which graph is best to display different STEM FAIR data sets


    Authentic Outcomes:  Construct food box packaging for your 'proportional reasoning' investigation. (Spaghetti pasta)

    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)


    Do Now:  Numeracy Ninjas
    Mental Strategies, Timetables and Key Skills revision. 



    Class Activities:   Geometry & Measurement
    1.  Ludi 'Speed Challenge' for all groups. 
    2.  Then 'Newton' & 'Fibonacci' will work with Miss Kindley for an introduction to angle/triangle types, protractor use and knowledge of 3D shapes, using the class whiteboard, visual posters to create notes in exercise books from the class projector.  Students will then consolidate new knowledge by completing introductory Measurement & Geometry activities on     Maths Buddy. 
    3. Selected students in 'Pythagoras' will participate in Mathex training (maths problem solving). 





    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).
