Class Happenings - Numeracy
Kindergarten and year 1 students are investigating 2 dimensional shapes. Firstly, we discovered two types of lines we see in shapes, horizontal and vertical. Then students had to cut out a variety of 2 d shapes and sort them into different categories. Students discussed how we could sort the shapes and after some consideration, we decided to sort them into haw many sides each shape had.
Next, we sorted them into regular and irregular shapes.
Year 2/3/4 students were challenged by using a protractor to measure angles. It is amazing how younger students rise to the challenge of using this very tricky measuring tool. Well done year 2 students.
Year 5/6 students investigated transformations, rotations, reflections and translations. Students were challenged to use visualisation to imagine the transformation of each shape and draw how it would look.
