Maths Whizz

Today I have learnt how to use a line graph.

Tread Lightly Caravan

Today we went to the Tread Lightly caravan to learn about how to protect the Earth. We got into six groups. My groups first exhibit was the environmental footsteps. It had 22  questions  so we took turns answering them. The questions were about what you use in your house. We learnt about e-waste. There are three valuable metals.Copper Silver and Gold in computers. So we need to recycle them.

Next we used the magnifying glass and the microscope to look at tiny bugs and creatures that are useful to our planet Earth. We learnt that we should look after them.

We also learnt about the pollution in the air and about how we leave carbon footprints when we travel by air.

We need to respect and look after our precious planet.

Perimeter of 2D shapes

WALT find the Perimeter of 2D shapes

Formulae:

Perimeter of a Square = side + side + side + side or 4 x side

Example: The perimeter of a square of side  5cm = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm or 4 x 5 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following squares:

The perimeter of a square of side  10cm = 4 x 10= 40cm  

The perimeter of a square of side  25cm = 4 x 10= 100cm    

The perimeter of a square of side  5m = 4 x 10= 20m

The perimeter of a square of side  50m = 4 x 10= 200m

The perimeter of a square of side  1km = 4 x 1= 4km

Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + width + length + width or 2 x l + 2 x w

Example: The perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 6cm and width is 4cm = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm or 2 x 6 + 2 x 4= 12 + 8 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following rectangles whose lengths and widths are given below:

Rectangle 1 - length is 8cm and width is 5cm

Perimeter = 26cm

Rectangle 2 - length is 10cm and width is 7cm

Perimeter = 34cm

Rectangle 3 - length is 8m and width is 6m

Perimeter = 28m

Rectangle 4 - length is 16m and width is 10m

Perimeter = 52m

Rectangle 5 - length is 4km and width is 2km

Perimeter = 12km

Evaluation: Today I learnt to find the perimeter of 2D shapes.
