Maths Investigations

First up we started drawing cubes of all different sizes. We drew cubes 1 by 1 cm’s then 2 by 2 then 3 by 3 then 4 by 4 then 5 by 5 then 6 by 6. It was good to see all the different types of drawing cubes. I found out a new way to draw cubes too. You start of like a stick figue without a head then a triangular top. It was quite easy to draw them.

When we drew the 3D city it was hard to do the roads. I had to get a lot of help to figure out how to go up and down. It was a little bit hard to join up the blocks to make up the building. I loved colouring them in. Because one side of the building had to be dark and then the otherside is light then the top is in the middle so it was quite tricky. Here is my 3D city.



We then had to pick one of the buildings and zoom up and do only one of the buildings. It was a bit tricky for me to get the angles of the doors and windows right. I had a netball court on my roof and a swimming pool on the other roof. I was going to have an outdoor setting of my other roof but that was extremely hard to do. I had railings on the sides. Here is my 3D house.

 After that we had to do a model of the house. It was hard for me because my shape was a little bit tricky as you can see. I needed to have lots of help from my teachers and peers. I did a model and forgot to put the doors and windows on! Here is my proper house model.

We also did a chocolate box for a made up company call chocObox. Mine was called Make Believe and I also had a motto called 'This Cant Be Real'. The colour of my box were all different browns because chocolate is obviously brown. This is what my box looks like.
