Eryn

Here is Eryn and Sam working out the volume of a 'vivid box'.

Eryn is able to rotate shapes in various ways using directional language, clockwise, anti-clockwise, north, and degrees.

Calculating area and perimeter

Eryn was able to make a 2D and 3D shape.  She was able to correctly identify the vertices, edges and faces on each.

Length activity "The combined length of my long and short snake is 18.8cm.  My long snake is 11.2cm and my small snake is 7.6cm."

Eryn was able to work this out 14/10/15 with Mackenzie as her partner

MEASUREMENT

Each class member participated in an experiment that used a variety of mathematical concepts.  This was an experiment out of Figure it Out Level 3/4 called 'Candle Trials'.  Children got to...

-Use a timer to identify how many seconds it takes for a candle to go out once a jar is place over top of it.

-Fill jars with water and estimate and measure the capacity

-Work out the average time it took for candles to burn out

-Compare the time taken to the capacity of the container

-Make predictions about the time it would take to burn a candle in another container (i.e. 2000 mls)

Everybody enjoyed this hands on experiment.
