For the last 3 weeks Te Ngahere have been doing measurement for maths. For example you have to figure out how long it took to bounce a basketball 10,000 times or make a castle with measurement or figure out the percentages of a pounamu pendant. My favourite activity that my group has done so far is the castle making. We had to make a castle with exact measurements, we had to make seven 17 cm across and 8 cm down with 1 cm tabs on each side for the walls, two 21 cm across and 11 cm down and a 1 cm tab on one side for the square towers ( you have to fold them three times to make them), make four 21 cm across and 10 cm down and add one tab on it and make a circular tower, make four 8.2 cm on each side to make cone and use a compass, add a tab on one half on the half circle and last but not least make the rectangular great Room It is 12 centimetres long, 6 centimetres wide, and 9 centimetres high Add tabs where needed, make and fit a roof, put it all together and you have a castle. The hard bit was when I was making the walls I kept getting the measurement wrong but after several times I got it. Have you ever made a cardboard castle? Thank you for reading my post!
Hi it’s Zac from Owairaka District School, I really like your post about Castle creation but I think that it's a bit repetitive with all the numbers and measurements. Check out my blog at Zac’s Blog byyyyyyyyye!
