GEOMETROCITY

Thanks to a wonderful resource, we have spent the past three weeks designing, creating and building our very own cities.

We got into groups of mixed abilities, came up with a plan for our cities, named our cities, created our cities and then last but by no means least, we built our cities using 3D net shapes. 

Here are pictures of us working through the whole process.

    

    

    

    

    

Here are our completed cities.     

  

  

  

  

GEOMETRY through POKEMON

Over the past three weeks we have been involved in the world of Geometry for Maths.

Some of us have been hooked on the latest craze of 'Pokemon' that has entrapped us to our phones. 
We used some of these images as stimulation for our maths creations. 
Special mention to Pokemon images, Pokemon name, Pokemon characters for providing the motivation to enlarge these characters. 

Our artworks linked to Level 3 in the NZ curriculum.

• Describe the transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement) that have mapped one object onto another.

Here are some examples of our works for enlargement. 
We identified our favourite Pokemon characters and enlarged them using a 1cm scale which was quadrupled not once but twice by some of us.

Take a look at our works.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

GEOMETRY through M.C.ESCHER

Over the past three weeks we have been involved in the world of Geometry for Maths.

We studied M.C. Escher as stimulation and motivation for our maths creations.

Our artworks linked to Level 3 in the NZ curriculum.

• Describe the transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement) that have mapped one object onto another.

Here are some examples of our works for translation. We viewed M.C. Escher's works for this (MC Escher hands) and were motivated by the tessellations he created. So we decided to create our own. We also viewed his 'Drawing Hands' artwork and tried to recreate this for ourselves.

Take a look at our works.
