This term during Numeracy, Hub 4 explored the strand of Geometry.

Geometry is the area of mathematics dealing with three-dimensional solids,plane shapes, points, lines, curves, surfaces and angles, and their position, size and relationships in space.

In this unit we learned how to:

• Sort, compare and classify 2D and 3D objects such as triangle, square, oblong, circle, oval, pentagon, hexagon, diamond, box, cylinder, and sphere

• Describe shape attributes in their own language and basic mathematical language – e.g. corner, side

• Identify 2D and 3D shapes by name

• Explore and describe faces, edges, and corners of 2D and 3D objects

• Make, name and describe polygons and other plane shapes

• Use our new knowledge of shapes and solids to design and construct a model. 

• Use measuring tools such as a ruler and a protractor

Student Voice:

Question: What did you like about Geometry?

- Making a Geometric city. 

- Learning about new shapes.

- Making the cities because it was a challenge.

- Learning about 3-D shapes.

- Learning the difference about a polygon and a solid.

- Making 3-D buildings was lots of fun.
