Learning Intentions:
1.  Use (metric) units to accurately measure length, area and volume
2.  Calculate area, perimeter and volume of shapes using the lengths of the sides
3.  Organise your learning time well

If you do any of this work at home please remember to record your answers.  You can email answers to me as well (gregc@outram.school.nz)

You have to do one of the tasks with an ** and hand in to me as an assessment task please….OR ….If you have your own idea for how you can show me you understand the ideas we have been learning about please talk to me about it.  I am more than happy for you to design your own! You could create a model, use Google Sketchup or Lego software, make a poster ….  Be creative and remember you are trying to show you understand the concepts in the Learning Intentions above.

There are 8 activities to complete as a minimum.  You are encouraged to do more than this.  We will be puting together the assessment criteria for this unit together … so keep looking on this page.

Each day in maths there will be having opportunities to work independently, collaboratively and with Me (I-C-T).  If you are not sure at ANY time please ask – I am here to help!!

Follow THIS link to the perimeter workshop we did today.  It was created by a teacher in ChCh (Thanks Jacqui!) and is a very good explanation of the things we need to understand.
