Models Made from Straws

Octagons used an assessment activity from the level 3 Assessment Resource Bank. We use these tasks regularly for learning activities and assessment tasks. This group did very well. I'm proud of you all!

Making 3D Models

We made 3 D models from winegums ans toothpicks. It was fun exploring the faces, edges and corners. And it was yummy too! We had to wait till Friday to eat them or take them home because Annie wanted photos of them.

Tessellation

What is tessellation? Click the Coolmath4Kids.com banner to find out.




Visit Tessellation Town on Tile Island and link the people. It's lots of fun. This was something most of you struggled with in your pre test so practise at home and you will master it quickly at school.
