What I've Learnt So Far In Maths

Week 3's coming to an end and were entering Week 4. And since it's kinda still the start of the school year, it means we still haven't learnt that much in some classes, but I know I should use this time of the short amount of work we get wisely. Because I know later on the work will get bigger and bigger and BIGGER... One of the classes we've just started is Math.

So far we haven't done much but it's still been enjoyable with the small activities that still give off the Math vibe.

Our first-class of Math was looking at Building Shapes.
We were given a string and told to get into a group of 4-5, with this string we used it to make a 3D shape. It was kinda hard because you had to grab a specific amount of string for it to work, and sometimes people just couldn't keep their fingers attached to the string and decided it would be a great idea to look the string go.

The next thing we were given was a sheet full of small black dots.
With that sheet, we had to make squares out of those dots and see how much squares we could make out of the dots on the page.
The sheets we were given for this were sheets that had 4x4 Dots and 5x5 Dots.
and the thing that I found funny was that you could make a square-Diamond and it would still be a square cause it's just a square that's rotated.


Then we were given a slideshow with this on it.
with this, we had to figure out what figure 10 would look like and then we had to figure out what figure 55th would look like and how many blocks it would have. Figure 55 was hard... Really hard. But I overall enjoyed playing with the blocks to do this task.

It was fun...
The ironic thing was that figure 10 had 55 blocks... In total. and like figure 55 had like 1,540 blocks.
so I overall enjoyed sitting down at a table with a phone and using the phone's calculator to get my result for figure 55... It was hard It lasted till the end of the period but I didn't care.
