Today I am writing to you to tell you about my learning adventure through Pangarau / Math’s. This week during Pangarau the year sevens have been learning about regular and irregular 2D shapes. This might sound kind of easy but it is a lot harder having to name some crazy looking shapes and then figuring out whether the shape is regular or irregular. My favourite part of this was figuring out whether the shape was regular or irregular because it really made me realize that there were a lot of shapes that had the same sized sides and how many didn’t, it also really helped me learn different types of shapes. I will explain more about my learning journey in the next paragraph.
During Pangarau our teacher has to teach three different year groups so while we are waiting we play Matific, which is a Math’s game where you have to do different Math’s challenges to move on, other times we will do work in our Oxford Math’s book. When it is the year sevens turn we get our Pangarau book and learn how to answer the questions in our Oxford books or we just learn about the Math’s subject we are working on.
In conclusion, I think that during Math’s I have learnt a lot about 2D shapes, for instant names of different shapes, how to tell whether they are regular or irregular, I also learned about how to describe different shapes and a little bit about how to find shapes angles. Overall I think that this week I learnt a lot whether it was in Pangarau or Tuhituhi and I wouldn’t change anything if I could.
