This week the class were calculating the area of circles. This is on the MyMaths website under Library – Shape – Area & Perimeter – Area of Circles.
In continuing the Café Project we looked at how buildings are constructed in particular how bricks are laid in order to make the structure rigid. The class had some practical work on constructing Lego houses to help them to appreciate this as well as to give them some ideas as to how they might present their finished design with the use of models.
The groups need to be ready to give their presentations in four weeks on their finished designs for their cafés (poster/powerpoint; models; scale drawings; computer designs and/or interior/exterior design and layout).
