Class 3 have turned into maths detectives this week. We were investigating pentaminoes. Pentaminoes are shapes made by joining five squares together. We found out that there were twelve differerent possible ways to make a pentamino - pretty impressive!
We have also been exploring nets of 3d shapes. A net is the pattern you get when you collapse a 3D shape into a 2D shape.
This net was made for homework, it folds up to make a cuboid.
This impressive effort folds up to make a triangular prism. Below you can see a picture of the net when the shape is laid flat.
Lots of the children created very intricate designs for their nets, well done everyone!
