In Maths, our topic is Ration and Proportion.
We have been learning to recognise, describe and compare ratios and represent them in different ways.
We have used ratio notation to record and interpret ratios and we understand how ratios relate to fractions, which was our last Maths topic.
This week, we have been exploring the concept of scale factors and learning how to interpret scales on plans and maps.
Today, we had fun working with partners to explore similar shapes by creating shapes and then enlarging them by a chosen scale factor.
Can you think of times when we use ratio and proportion in real life, Year 6?
In my group we had 3 people so we had to do it squashing it inside the square to do it.
it was quite difficult but it was fun!
This was very fun making different scale factors!
It was so fun to use the counters because it reminded me of nursery .
It was quite hard finding one but we quickly found one
I really liked fiddling with these pegs even though I look absolutely horrid on the picture. It was so fun!
It is so fun working as a team!
This was so fun.Me and my partner used a rectangle as our shape.
I enjoyed learning about scale factors. It was so much fun!!
I enjoyed learning about scale factors in maths! it was a lot of fun!
I loved learning about scale factors. It was so fun!
This lesson was really fun SINCE WE DIDNT HAVE TO DO WORK. Just playing with the beads and defying physics.Best maths lesson ever.What we really did was finding the scale factor (ratio) of the shape.
I loved doing scale factors in maths! it was a bit tricky but I got the hang of it
I enjoyed doing scale factors and I used a scale factor of 2.
I really enjoyed using pegs. It reminded me of nursery.
I had so much fun! And I found it really easy!
I learned fun stuff from this lesson.
I really enjoyed using the pegs for our math’s work.We had to work out what shape we were going to do and then multiply it by the scale factor we chose.
