Robots

We have been learning about 2D and 3D objects.
Mrs Nicholson told us to design a 2D robot in our maths books using only squares, rectangles and triangles.  We had to work out the perimeter and area of our robot.

Next we turned our 2D robot into a 3D robot.  We had to decide whether we wanted it to be made from cubes or cuboids.  Most of us decided to make them cuboids.  Then was the challenging part.  We had to create our own nets and make our robot to scale.  We taped our maths paper to the window and drew our nets to scale over the maths grid.  Take a look at some below:









They were lots of fun and we all did so well.

  1. Room 14, absolutely incredible work! I thought your 2D robots were amazing! Then, to read that you had challenged yourselves and made them to scale in 3D Robots is just remarkable! You are all such talented children. I love the pictures showing your planning and the end result. Well done room 14. Wendy Riley
