Let's explore some more about infographics!

Watch the video and join in the activities.

You will need:

a pencil
your workbook.

View the infographics in the video and answer these questions:
- How did they try and share the ‘important’ facts?
- Which infographic did you think was the best? Why?
- What made them interesting - content or design? Or both?
- How did the design (e.g. use of fonts, colour, graphics and imagery) contribute to how you felt about the information?

Mathematics

You will need:

How many right angles?

Let's investigate how many right angles can be made with a given number of sticks!

Watch the video and join in the activity.

You will need:

6 paddle-pop sticks (or use rectangular strips of paper)
pencils
your workbook.

Hint! The instructions are also below if you need them.

ReSolve – How many right angles?
Duration: 3:56

Explore:

Identify some examples of right angles around your house.

Record these in your workbook.

Right angle

Creating right angles:

How many right angles can you make out of 2 paddle-pop sticks?

Record these in your workbook.

How many right angles can you make with 3 paddle-pop sticks?

Record these in your workbook.

Example

A right angle made from two paddle-pop sticks

Finding patterns:

Have a look at the table which shows the number of sticks and right angles.

What do you predict you will find if you use 4 paddle-pop sticks?

What do you predict you will find if you use 5 paddle-pop sticks?

What do you predict you will find if you use 6 paddle-pop sticks?

Investigate: how many right angles can you make out of 4, 5 and 6 sticks?

Copy the table into your workbook and record your findings.

Table – number of sticks and right angles

Table with 3 columns. Headers of columns are: Number of sticks, number of right angles that could not be made, maximum number. Row 1: 2 sticks, 3 right angles could not be made, maximum number is 4. Row 2: 3 sticks, 1 and 7 could not be made, max number is 8. Fill in the third row.

Example – using 4 sticks to create right angles

four paddle-pop sticks. Two are vertical and parralel and two are laid across parallel and horizontal

Look at the table you have created. What do you notice about the relationship between the number of sticks used and maximum number of right angles?
What is the same (or different) when you used an even number of sticks in comparison to an odd number of sticks?

Share your work with your teacher.

Shapes and angles

Let's explore regular and irregular polygons using right angles!

Watch the video and join in the activity.

You will need:

1cm grid paper (PDF file, 73KB)
a pencil
your workbook.

Hint! The instructions are also below if you need them.

ReSolve – Six internal right angles
Duration: 5:37

A polygon:

is a flat 2D (two-dimensional) shape
has straight sides
is fully closed (all the sides are joined).

Examples of polygons

Regular polygons:

all sides are the same length
all angles are the same.

Examples of regular polygons

Irregular polygons:

sides have different lengths
and/or
there are different sized angles.

Examples of irregular polygons

Chevron, trapezium, rhombus and a shape that resembles lightning

Using the grid paper, draw some closed shapes that have exactly 4 internal right angles.

How could you change these shapes to create a shape with 6 internal right angles?

Could you join some together to create a shape with exactly 6 internal right angles?

Example – closed shape with 4 internal right angles

A rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right angle inside the shape where the vertex (corner) is.

Example – shape with 6 internal right angles

An octagon (8 sided shape) resembling a capital letter 'T'.

Use the grid paper to help you draw different octagons (8 sided shapes) that have 6 right angles and 2 angles of 270°. How many can you think of?

Sort the different shapes that you have made.
Hint! It may be helpful for you to cut out your shapes and physically sort them into groups.

Internal angle – equal to 3 right angles (270°)

Capital 'T' shaped octagon. Demonstrating that the internal (reflex) angle is 90 + 90 + 90 degrees = 270 degrees.

External angle equal to 1 right angle (90°)

Same shape as above image (capital T octagon). Demonstrating the remainder of the reflex angle, the external angle, is 90 degrees.

Share your work with your teacher.

History

The gold rush game ‘Can you strike it rich during the Gold Rush?’

Play 'Can you strike it rich during the Gold Rush?', an interactive game created by the National Museum of Australia.

Choose the character you wish to represent – a British miner, a Chinese miner, a woman with a family, or a Police Officer.
During the game you will need to:
- make choices depending on the situation you find yourself in on the goldfields.

Hint! Every choice has a consequence.

- consider the questions in the drop down below.

Questions to consider while you are playing the game.

What were the conditions like on the goldfields for the different groups of people from the 1850-1890s?
What were other ways that you could make a living on the goldfields?
What was unpopular at the goldfields?
What made the miners feel that they were being treated unfairly and how were they treated by the police?
What were the social, economic and political impacts of the discovery of gold in the Australian colonies?
