Geomytry - 18-05-2011

In room 22 we are learning about geometry for maths. For all the people who don’t know what geometry is, it is the study of size, shape and position of a two dimensional shape and a three dimensional figure.

We have been making tan - grams. Tan - Grams are pictures made from heaps of different shapes and different sized shapes. We had to measure and really think hard about it. We had different pictures like cats, swans and much more.

We have also been learning how to use compasses. Compasses help us make nice round circles. We also have been learning about how to draw two dimensional shapes in our books. Some of us have good spatial awareness that’s why they are so good.

I have really liked geometry. It has times where we have to focus and then we can play. I hope we do plenty more.
