Paper Planes Competition

Today we were learning to analyse and measure for maths. We redesigned our group planes by adding details and ideas from our groups' individual planes. In our group, we chose our best plane thrower so that they can beat the other opponents, we chose Tai as his arm movement was faster. When everyone finished their throwing, we then measured accurately our paper plane distance. They all had three tries, and in the end, we opened the windows and doors to see the difference between the three other tries. 

Paper Planes

Yesterday for maths we were collaboratively working with our groups given by Mrs Anderson making paper planes. This activity was a silent collaborative challenge, where Mrs Anderson didn't talk, but she did put all the instructions on a presentation which we all had to follow very carefully. I worked with Sebastian, Oh Hsen, Tai, Breeana and Calvin designing different types of paper planes. We went on YouTube videos, websites and images to make our paper planes. When we all finished our design, we went outside to trial and measure (with our feet) how far it flew. Our whole group was helping each other and having so much fun. The plane that went furtherest was Tai's and Breeana's.
