Printing wrapping paper

We have designed our own printing block with cardboard. We looked at Pacifica and African patterns that had reflection or rotation for inspiration. We printed it multiple times with red and green ink for Christmas. 

Making nets for a purpose

Last term we drew different nets for 3D shapes using connectable 2D shapes.
This term we have measured a block, added 1 cm onto all the measurements and then drawn a net to make a box for the block.

Maths buddy

Room 6 is using maths buddy for free this term! They have set tasks each week to complete and are encouraged to try the next year level up if it was easy. 

It is a great learning tool as it teaches a skill using a video and then asks questions based on the learnt skill and marks them. 

Equivalent Fractions

We have been learning to make fractions using play dough and working out a simpler equivalent fraction.

3D nets

Recently we have been learning about using a 3D net. We predicted whether a net would make a shape and then made them. Then we made 3D shapes and drew the different nets.
