Angle Boards

This was interesting.We have been studying fractions and have touched on angles. In our last week of Term 3 we have decided to create Angle Boards. However, we did discuss fractions and how our design can be broken into quarters, sixths, eigths or tenths..

After sourcing out the wood, students painted their board and transferred their draft design onto their blackboard. Next step was to measure out 1 centimetre spaces on each line. Following this, they carefully nailed in nails on each centimetre, lots of challenges here! Lastly. they wrapped their coloured wool around the nails - creating an illusion!

Interesting challenge....and a number of children using a hammer for the first time - great effort from all...!!!!
