End of Term reflection

Have your say on what you have learnt this term. I am keen to get your feedback on how I can make teaching and learning better for Room 5 students.

My cube making by Kifi

My cube making experience

On Monday Miss Paton told room 5 that Mrs Walter's was coming to our class. When she arrived she started talking about 3-D shape's. Then we started talking about the cube. She said "The cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges. Then we got given 12 tooth picks, kebab skewers and eight wine gums. Then we got told to make a cube with the skewers and wine gums. My buddy was Tyler and we were really fast at making the cube. Mrs Walter's said "Take it apart and measure it using a ruler”. We measured in centimetres. Mine and Tyler's cube was 84 centimetres altogether. Each edge of the cube was 7 centimetres long.

The Mintie Challenge By Kobe

This is Kobe's graph on the Mintie Challenge. He had to tear a mintie wrapper so that it wouldn't rip. See how long his wrapper was compared to the rest of the class

The Mintie Challenge By Kifi

On Wedensday Room 5 at Panmure Bridge School did a Mintie Challenge. We had to tear a Mintie Wrapper and see how long we could tear a Mintie Wrapper. Miss Kellett had the longest Mintie Wrapper and Henry had the shortest Mintie Wrapper. Miss Kellett's Wrapper was 1.12 m but Henry's was 19 cm. My mintie Wrapper was 50 cm but I still had alot of fun.

Rachel's was the longs mintie wrapper in the class
and Henry's was the shortest wrapper out of all of us.
Luckily I bet some people in our class.
It was a tie between Tyler and Dallas.

Making 3D Nets

This week we are investigating the 3D shapes. Today we made 3D nets out of paper and then we were partnered up to make a cube using kebab sticks / toothpicks and wine gums. Check out our movie and this rich maths activity. At the end of making the 3D cube, we had to measure one edge and then multiplied the number of edges altogether. Check out our movie.

The Mintie Challenge

This week we had a Minties challenge in which we had to rip a Mintie wrapper ensuring we kept it in one piece. The person with the longest wrapper was the winner. It was a great measurement activity and really tested out our patience at ripping a wrapper. We are also in the process of graphing our results. Check out our movie on this fun Maths activity.
