Groups measured the polyhedrons and recorded the measurements in their books. We talked about the importance of clear communication, by the use of headings, naming the objects using their correct mathematical name and including the colour of the objects to increase clarity. We talked about how we might order the objects, using their type (prism or pyramid) and number of sides. We talked about the difference between the external clear shapes and the coloured nets. We decided to measure the coloured nets, but to explain this in the presentation. Students were asked to think about the best way to present their measurement project.

Continue with measurement and start doing the calculations. Students were given the google classroom codes, one for Mathex Training and one for Year 7 & 8 maths. The accuracy of the actual height measurements was checked using Pythagoras. Pythagoras links were added to Google Classroom.

Today the Year 7 students have a talk they need to attend instead of Mathex. The year 8 students will investigate area: rectangle, parallelogram, triangle and trapeziums. (In that order). We used Geogebra and our mathematics books to investigate the connections.

Today the Year 8 students will explain what they learned yesterday using the notes they made. The year 7 students will investigate area: rectangle, parallelogram, triangle and trapeziums with help from the year 8 students. When this is completed students will make the area calculations for their group project.

Complete the area and perimeter calculations. Group collaboration strategies need to be recorded as part of the group project.

Tuesday & Wednesday: Completing the surface area calculations.

Thursday: Volume Calculations (require Pythagoras for accurate height of the pyramids.)

Tuesday: Pythagoras

Wednesday & Thursday: Complete the investigation.

• Year 7 Camp
• Year 8's had freedom of choice
  • Education Perfect
  • Working on projects/presentations
  • Getting up to date with Education Perfect
  • Mathex Year 7 Questions.

The Plan was:

• Mathex Questions - playing in teams of 4. First play under time pressure, then slowly work through the ones that were answered incorrectly. This means a set of questions will last two days. Teaching each other, and learning the mathematics that will answer the questions the fastest way is key to improving our shared skill level.

Lockdown changed everything:

• Lockdown is a record of what we ended up doing.
