Section outline


  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to use the data from our science fair investigation to construct and analyse graphs so that we can write a conclusion and an informal inference.


    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on describing the reflection and rotational symmetry of a figure
    • We are FOCUSING on describing the transformations in patterns

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING recognising symmetry in patterns, objects and figures


    Success Criteria: I can/have..

    • Describe symmetry in patterns, objects and designs
    • Explore translation, reflection and rotation in patterns, objects and designs


    Activities:

    1. Warm up - https://www.transum.org/software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/Students/Transformations/Draw.asp
    2. Looking at patterns involving transformations
    3. Identifying transformations in patterns/nature - Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns - What is a Koru and what does it represent? (Matauranga Maori)
    4. Identify transformations in your favourite logos for cars, foods, shoes etc
    5. Design your own logo. Write whether it has line symmetry or rotational symmetry or both and if the design shows reflection, rotation or translation.
    6. Introduce assessment and rubric - Sci/Maths collaborative assessment
    7. Explain assessment task with an example
    8. Sci/Maths Assessment graphs - video on using google sheets to create graphs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BABC1jktDIcPractice 
    9. Statements practice for writing an analysis - https://nzmaths.co.nz/sites/default/files/true-or-false-3.pdf
