CREATIVITY in MATH

Creativity is something that can be used in all areas of learning, especially in maths. This week we looked at creating Pixel versions of ourselves and also different superheroes. When focusing on symmetry and reflections we had the task to draw the reflection of an image.  

Below is the mirror drawing made by Indi, how awesome did she do!

 Measurement can be used in the kitchen, this week we made playdough and created different creatures. Check out some of them below. 

Arrrrrg you ready for a treasure hunt?

When looking into direction we focused on using a compass and giving and following instructions. Students were given the challenge to make a treasure map by giving directions to someone in their whanau. Check out some of our maps below, where would you end up if you followed this map in your home?

PROBLEM SOLVING

In maths we have been working on our problem solving with additive and multiplicative questions. Each student was asked to choose 2 questions as a part of their contract and film themselves solving the problem and explaining their thinking.

Maths Art - Impossible Objects

Today’s Maths Task - This lesson was for consolidating compass and ruler constructions.
It reinforces accurate measuring and constructing skills as well as the need for ‘attention to detail’. For many it was the first time using a compass - a quick 'look, listen and learn' run through first. Lot's of engaged students, ensuring instructions were accurately followed, and their illustrations specific and clear.
