Geometry shapes

Aloha bloggers from around the world,

I am here sharing with you an FANTASTIC! piece of art that we have been doing this week. In maths we have been building models which were tents. We had to think of different ways on how to build the roof and side of the of the tent. We all worked independently in seperate classrooms so that we could finish the art before lunch. Te Waka Ako all  had 3 materials to make a tent, the materials were toothpicks, plasta clay and a white board to put the model ontop. This picture of my tent was my second model because the first model fell apart because the clay is heavier than the toothpicks so it collapsed. Instead of using the first model I thought of another way to make the tent so I came up with an Idea like this when I did the finishing touches it didn't fall. 

 At first I didn't think that building a tent was part of maths. My first tent that I made was a shape of a rectangle square shape. Mr Ross thought that it would still stand while I play outside for morning tea but, instead when I came back from morning tea and it had collapsed. It have learnt that if I use small bits of clay it wouldn't fall apart but for my first model I put big bits of clay which didn't work.The teachers didn't really explain but it was a making the tent. Sorry if you want to read more but I have finished now. If you want to see more of my work come and visit to see more and post  a positive and thougthful comment below.
