๐ท Student Spotlight in 4/5! ๐
This term, our students have been exploring area and perimeter through hands-on and engaging activities.
One activity the students have particularly enjoyed is โPen the Pigโ! ๐ Students use dice to determine the perimeter of their rectangular pig pen before calculating the area inside.
Students then compare their pens to determine:
๐ท Who has the largest area for their pigs?
๐ Who requires the longest length of fencing?
It has been fantastic to see students applying their mathematical thinking, problem-solving skills and mathematical language while having a little fun along the way! ๐ง โจ
