    • We are APPLYING our understanding to use a Cartesian plane to plot given points
    • We are PLANNING to transform and translate shapes
    • We are PLANNING to use hectares as a measurement tool in problem-solving
    • We are PLANNING to PERFORM operations with capacity
    • We are measuring slide lengths and APPLYING formulae to CALCULATE perimeter and area
    • We are PERFORMING angle measurements using a protractor
    • We are CONSTRUCTING a net to package a gift



    Authentic Outcomes:  To construct an enlarged food package (net) to demonstrate my understanding of 'proportional reasoning' for my (half-serving) spaghetti pasta recipe.

    Success Criteria:  I can...

    Class Activities:   Geometry & Measurement

    1.  Ludi 'Speed Challenge' for all groups.  
    2. Complete 'Area of a Triangle' activities from last week (attached).  Self-mark in maths exercise books.  
    3. Introduction to parts of a circle - note taking in exercise books. 
    4. Introduction to the circumference and area of a circle with Miss Kindley.  Consolidate new learning with Maths Buddy video demonstration and reinforcement activities.  

    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.
