Resources from Brendan - Designed for Year 6 students

- This Maths investigation entitled 'Navigating around the Glass House' has been designed to develop students understanding of coordinates, scale and direction. The resources consists of 5 FWC pages: 1) A map of the Glass House Mountains and Surrounds (includes a grid) 2) Coordinate activities 3) Directional activities 4) Scale activities (problem solving based) 5) Includes details of a culminating task that requires students to use their knowledge of coordinates, direction and scale to plan a hiking trip across the Glass House Mountains.

- A single lesson activity that aims to develop students spatial awareness through the bird's eye view perspective.

- A single lesson exercise that requires students to calculate areas made up of 2 or more shapes. Includes 6 activities.

- A single lesson mapping exercise that focusses on scale and direction

- A single lesson exercise that requires students to demonstrate their understanding of equivalent fractions

- A mini unit (in conjunction with the //Math Plus 6// text) that focusses on the names, nets and properties of 3D shapes. Password = 'shapes'.

- This mini unit builds upon the concepts covered in '3D Shapes.fwc' and requires students to demonstrate their understanding of the construction of 3D shapes and their ability to visualise 3D shapes from different perspectives (front, top and side views).

- This exercise requires students to graph the average rainfall for Brisbane for each month of the year and construct their own questions based on the data.

- This mini unit covers a number of concepts relating to 2D shapes including lines of symmetry, properties of 2D shapes, calculating the internal angles of polygons and the relationships between the number of sides/angles in polygons and the sum of the internal angles. I still have a couple more resources in the pipeline which will hopefully be completed in the coming weeks. Enjoy!
