Maths: Parachute Making

Maths: Parachute Making                                                          28 November 2017

For Maths, one of the tasks we had to do was to make a Parachute. We had to study what materials was best to make a Parachute and we had to gather designs and things that we needed to make the parachute. The parachute was easy to make but the calculations we had to do was a bit difficult. We had to find out what measurements were best to use and how big or small the parachute had to be to make it last long enough in the air. At the end of the day it was really fun and interesting and I enjoyed making them.

Math Activity: Measurement

Measurement 18 May 2017

This math activity was all about measurement. In this math task we had to pick precise weights that will balance with the unknown weight on the right side. I learnt in this math activity that you can use different weights to add up with the unknown weight. So for example if the unknown weight was 7kg, you could use (4kg, 2kg, and 1kg), and (4kg and 3kg). I found this activity really fun especially because we could use different combinations to add up to the unknown weight, and have fun learning as well.
