Task Description:
For maths, our task was to go into groups of 3 and choose one from the measurement equipment pile. I was in a group with Phyu sin and Stephanie.Then, we could have fun with the equipment for 5 min! After that, you had to make a shape and find it’s perimeter. Because the sides of our shape were curved, we had to use a flax and curve it over the shape and then measure how many centimetres the flax was. After we found the perimeter we had to convert it to millimetres, centimetres, and meters.
The perimeter of our shape was 84 cm. So, 84 cm, 840 mm and 0.84 m.

Task Description:
For maths, we learnt about pentominoes! First, we had to find & draw the 12 pentominoes in our maths books , it was really challenging. The rule was it had to be connected but not by the corners. After that, we got printed papers with pentominoes on them. We had to cut them out and do challenges. For the first challenge it was a 3×5 square with the pentominoes. The second challenge was a 4×5 square, and the third challenge was 5×5 square. For the last one, I believe the 4th or 5th challenge was a 3×10 square?
