2D and 3D Shapes

We were identifying the properties of 2D and 3D Shapes.  
Quadrilaterals are four sided shapes.

Regular shapes edges are the same length in the entire shape like a hexagon, octagon and pentagon.

We know that irregular shapes can have different lengths of edges e.g. pentagons, hexagons and octagons.

Triangles

We used geoboards to make the four different triangles and investigate the properties of each.  We can now identify an equilateral, isosceles, right-angled and scalene triangle.  

Lines

We are learning about differ lines used in maths.  We can recognise and identify horizontal, vertical, perpendicular and parallel lines.

Co-ordinates

We are learning to accurately use co-ordinates.  The rhyme ‘Along the corridor and up the stairs’ helps us to record the correct co-ordinates.  We can now record the co-ordinate needed to complete make a 2D shapes or show the points of parallel lines.  

Problem-Solving

We were exploring the act it out and draw is out problem-solving strategies.  We were able to use these strategies to find solutions to the problems.  These problems really made us think, we also used the trial and error strategy in our quest to find the solution. With determination and perseverance, we found the soltuions.

Angles, Position and Movement

We have been learning how to move anti-clockwise and clockwise directions.  We explored position and movement using the eight points of a compass, extreme earth images which were all moving in intervals of 45 degrees.  Next, we explored the value of each number in a clock.  We know how to calculate this, you simply complete a calculation like this, 360 divided by the number of intervals.  In a clock, each number is positioned at 30 degree intervals.  In the topic of position and movement, our brains have got stronger rna we’ve got smarter.
