Stained Glass Windows 1. Design a stained glass window to fit a 1-square-metre frame. 2. After you have designed your window, divide a piece of paper into three sections, Number, Geometry, and Measurement, and describe your design, using numbers, symbols, and mathematical language. For example: • under Number, calculate the fraction that each shape is of the whole  • under Geometry, comment on transformations in your design   • under Measurement, calculate the areas of coloured glass needed for your design and the perimeter of the shape Term 4 - Reinforcing Key Learning

You are the newly elected council members of a special project called - Foundation Production.

This task force is required to plan and put forward a proposal for a new town. This proposal needs to be formal in it's structure and must contain evidence of all the specific learning outcomes. Once we have consructed some success criteria (what you will need to do in order to be successful) you will need to work as a team to research and investigate the required information, and then think creatively about how to present the information.

__Specific Learning Out comes__ Students will understand: 1) How to create a budget for a ‘town’, based on a tax system, that gives detailed breakdowns of % of spending 2) how to apply their understanding of geometry and measurement to the structural plan of the town 3) how to work collaboratively to create the presentation of the town proposal

advertising the towns special features and any related information.
 * How to write a report (rm 7) - you will need to write a newspaper report about your new town - It will be the feature article of the local paper,

Success Criteria To be successful our presentation must have: // What is tax? How are taxes spent? What are taxes spent on? you will need to think about the intended population of the town, and research the // // average household income for towns of similar size in New Zealand. // // Birds eye view of street, Maps that show resources (google maps, Google sketch up) Dimensions. What will your town need to have - think about // // key businesses, facilities, housing zones, industrial zones.... // required to take a role
 * A detailed description of the tax plan –
 * Draw up plans for the town,
 * Basic description nof the town – size, population, average income, special features, tourisum
 * Everyone has contributed. Everyone has a role in the ‘council’. When you make your presentation to the rest of the class, everyone will be

Term Two - Focus Multiplication and Division [] Please complete the following pathway to reinforce our mult/div learning, in a practical challenge []

__BEDMAS__ [] Please follow the link and complete the test - please print out your first try and then we can compare it to your end of term attempt.

For each building we have decided we need to complete the following: · Dimensions of the building (this will require research) · Scale drawings of different view points · A picture of the building · The perimeter of the building – if research provides measurement details · Drawings need to be labelled with any measurements relevant to the building · Distance from NZ both in metres and in Kilometres · A description of the 3D shapes visible in the building || After doing your research you can now design your own building. You plans must meet the current criteria: · Must contain a range of 3D shapes · Plans need to include drawings of a number of different view points · Planning must include perimeter, area and volume of the building. · Drawings need to be of a set scale. || Once you have designed your building, then you need to construct a simple 3D model, that reflects your plans. It needs to: · Be based on 3D shapes that have been constructed by using nets · Use light weight cardboard – eg cereal boxes, muesli bar boxes · Fit onto an A3 sheet of paper – can be smaller || *Conversion of metric units * Scale drawing * Viewpoints*Perimeter, Area, Volume * labelling and naming 3D shapes * Creation of nets for the purpose of constructing 3D shapes * For more detail on what we will be learning check out []= Task for printing Site Marc found for net templates: [] media type="custom" key="8964662" align="center" ||  ||   ||
