Position and Orientation

Today we began to explore different elevations.
We began by creating our own designs and drawing them from the different views. This was difficult and required us to move our designs around so we could check our ideas.
As an extra challenge, Miss Garland drew a plan, which we then had to create with the blocks. This required us to keep checking and testing.

Heavy Animals

Room 7 have been exploring Rich Tasks and using a range of Problem Solving Strategies. Today we had to work out which was the best way to arrange the animals in the Vet shelves, so they didn't exceed the weight limits. Have a look at our blogs to see our strategies and reflections. Some people made diagrams, lots of people used a table and I showed how I used a spreadsheet could be helpful to keep the information organised.
