The Prep 7’s use our outdoor classroom for an exciting Maths lesson!

Prep 7 are learning about enlarging shapes in Maths so they went into the woods and created shapes out of sticks, drew a sketch and then were given a scale factor to enlarge their shape by.

Accuracy is key, so they not only did they have to accurately measure the length of the sides so they matched up with their sketch, they also had to measure their angles to make sure they were exactly the same in both shapes.

Did you know that when you enlarge a shape, the shape can get smaller as well as bigger but the angle size always stays the same?
