Structures Structures Structures

Room 34 has been making lots of structures. We have made newspaper structures. We made structures in the Gully and the only manmade items we could use were one tarpaulin per group.
We had a design brief for each structure. A design brief is when you are given quick instructions about the function of the structure you are building.
For our newspaper structures the brief was that it had to hold up a dictionary for at least 30 seconds. Some structures could hold up to 14 books!
Our shelters in the Gully had to have enough space to keep the whole team from getting wet if it rained. We tested them with water guns.

Place Value

In our ikan Maths knowledge test we came out weakest at place value so we are going to be doing lots of practise!

What is Place Value?

Place value is the value of where a digit is in a number.

Finding a number's place value: When finding the place value of a particular number, it helps to write out exactly what the number means. Listen as it is explained in this video by Khan Academy.
