Rectangle Tangles

Korora Class welcomed dads, grandads and family friends into school today to share some maths magic; a game of dodgeball and a tasty morning tea.

The first challenge was to find as many triangles as possible - they were hiding in other shapes. Then the Penguins impressed their guests with their knowledge of 2D shape properties, including parallel and perpendicular lines. The final task was to walk through a rectangle....



















Our class could fit through an A3 rectangle!



At the end of the session, we predicted that we could make the whole primary school fit inside an A2 rectangle!
