Calculating area and perimeter

Sam converting improper fractions to proper fractions

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

Sam was able to make a 2D and 3D model.  She was able to identify the vertices, edges and faces of her models.

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

This video was written, directed and made by Sam.  It is about the 10 New Zealand nurses who were murdered by a German U-boat.  They were aboard 'The Marquette', a boat heading to help injured at Gallipoli.

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.
