Geometry - Week 4 Maths Sample

During Maths week (week 4), we have been focussing on Geometry. We had a choice of 10 different Geometry based activities. We needed to select 5 different activities and provide evidence when completed. 

The evidence I collected:

What I enjoyed about this maths week was:

That we got to choose what we wanted to try instead of having set tasks to do because I only did the ones that I thought sounded a bit fun.

What challenged me during this week:

That some of the stations were very crouded on the first day so I couldn't really go to them.

My next step in Geometry is:

Attempting some of the harder sheets and challenging myself so that I learn more.

Weekly Passion Project Reflection

WEEK 5 REFLECTION

I learn't how to add in areas of land so that I can make a certain scene like a village or a desert so it seems more natural rather than a flat world.

What am I going to work on next week?

I am going to try to make the things more in time so that it seems more clear and to not use as much text because each one has a different line and if you have too many it gets really confusing.

this is the animation so far

Passion Project Proposal

Japanese puffer fish writing

Japanese Puffer Fish

The Japanese Puffer Fish is found on the ocean floor around Japan. It does some amazing things to be noticed.

Shiny scales layering the Puffer Fish's skin makes it camouflaged on the ocean floor. His scales dully shine as if they are shells reflecting light back up from the ocean floor.  Even though he works 168 hours a week he appears to always be happy with his mouth in an adorable grin.  It also has small fins that makes it look particularly as if it could fly.

Gliding through the sand ploughing the Puffer Fish sculpts his design. This extraordinary animal works for one hundred and sixty eight hours straight without any rest.  The pattern this amazing fish creates is a beautiful design.

The reasons that the male Japanese Puffer Fish creates his design is to attract a mate and to claim his territory so that no one will fool the females that they made it.

In summary I think that the Puffer Fish is one of the best animal artists in the world.

Week 1 Reflection

WEEK 1 REFLECTION

What Learning did you find challenging this week?

finding things like exponents over 5 for the exponent.

How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges?

What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week?

Finding 8 to the power of 5 which was 74044.

Why are you proud if it?

Because it required me to do 8x8x8x8x8 which is very annoying with long multiplication because it takes a long time.

• represent and describe the symmetries of a shape

LEVEL 3

• represent and describe the results of reflection, rotation, and translation on shapes or patterns

SYMMETRY

Explain what you now know about symmetry.  Try and use mathematical words to explain.

Symmetry is if you can basically cut a shape in half and it will be the opposite on one side from the other.

ROTATION/REFLECTION/TRANSLATION

Explain what you know about rotation…

Rotation means to spin the shape around a certain amount of degrees.

->  

Explain what you know about reflection….

Reflection Means to draw a line and for it to be the opposite on the other side of the line.

Explain what you know about translation….

Translation means to slide the same shape a certain distance up, down,  to the right or to the left.

TESSELLATIONS

Explain what a tessellation is…

A repeating pattern that goes on for a long time exp tiles.

REFLECTION

Nothing because I learnt this in year 3 so it is really easy for me.

Why?

Because this was like year 3 again for me.

What was the most challenging with our geometry learning?

The tessellations.

Why?

Because I hadn’t learnt it before but it was still very easy.
