Geometry Geniuses
Zara Ratnani, Year 5
The smart geometry wizards in Year 3 are having fun
in class. They are making nets of solid, geometric
shapes with paper - like pyramids and cubes. They are
having fun because the folding, pasting and gluing.
They are doing this to learn geometric shapes like
cubes and pyramids. It is basically learning Math but
while having loads of fun. Some of them are really
enjoying even though some struggled just a bit.
It is important to for the students because when they
grow up, they need to know how to construct
geometric shapes. They also need to pay attention to
the details by folding lines properly.
When making nets, first they need to cut and follow
the black line. Then, they need to fold the net and
they have to glue some sides. Then they need to
paste it to the other side and keep folding till it
becomes a cube.
Another plus for the Year 3s is there recent visit to the
museum! The Year 3 students looked at some
prehistoric artifacts at the Museum Nasional. They
learnt about some prehistoric fossils discovered in
Indonesia.
