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.

What Learning did you find challenging this week?

I found the independent tasks at math challenging because it is a change and you need to pick the ones that won't take you too long.

My writing planning.

They kept on coming up with videos of the thing rather than the facts about what it is.

What am I going to work on next week?

I am going to try to get some more things and if I think people wouldn't know what it is straight away then I will add info about them and I might do some backgrounds.

What did I achieve this week during Passion Project time?

I have found all the machines on other websites so I am sure that they are real and I have stated to add photos of some of my favourite ones to the slides.

What challenges did I have?

That I wanted to put all the photos on one slide and have them go away to show another one but that was going to take too long and in the end it wouldn't be worth it.

What am I going to work on next week?

Getting all the photos in and getting the functions of the machines so that people know what it does so they won't think of it doing the wrong thing because of how it looks.
