Prism Tents

We investigated shapes for tents. We had to design and make a model of a tent. Many of the shapes we made were actually prisms. Then we had to write about the mathematics within our tent. The writing  should include dimensions, properties of the shapes, and relevant te reo pāngarau.		We are learning to: Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties. Relate three-dimensional models to two- dimensional representations, and vice versa.

Ruma Tahi has set off into the new year with purpose and an enthusiasm for thinking and learning! Yay! This year we are starting our statistics unit. We have been asked by Velociraptor Clothing Manufacturers to create new uniforms for schools and sports teams.  We started by brainstorming what aspects we would need to consider.  Then we practised taking an unbiased sample around the classroom of foot measurements for shoes.

Stay tuned to see where we go to next...
