Maths Investigations:



Term 1 and Term 2

We learnt how to draw cubes - on isometric dot paper. We first discussed how to draw cubes - there are about 3 different ways people draw them! We had to draw cubes in various sizes - 1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 - the same shape but bigger. I found it pretty easy to do this, I like to draw shapes in maths.

We then drew 4 cubes together to make a "building". We drew several different building designs. The next session we drew up to 15 of the buildings - and made a city. It was a little tricky making sure the roads were drawn correctly, if I did them vertically they didn't like right. Here is my city:





I also then chose one of the building designs to create my 3D house - I loved doing it!! Adding the windows and doors was a little tricky, I had to make sure I had the lines following the correct angle and the sides of the doors/windows must be vertical. I loved adding the detail of the backyard - I wish I could build this house!! Here is my house design:
