Maths (Making strips)

                                                               Maths (Making strips)

Kia ora bloggers around the world🌍👈, today I will be blogging about what we learned in Maths and how we made strips to make a 1 metre ruler. So in the morning we had Maths. Our teacher (Mrs Paterson) told us for measurement we had to make a 1 metre but with cardboard paper. This is how I made my 1 metre ruler with cardboard paper. The things I needed to make a 1 meter strip ruler were: tape, cardboard paper and  scissors. First I had to fold the paper into quarters, after folding it in quarters I then had to cut it. When I cut the paper it made long strips. Next up I had to join the 4 strips and then I had to put tape, after putting tape in my 1 meter strip ruler it was finished! To make sure it was a 1 meter ruler I had to measure it against 2 squares, if the ruler is 2 squares long that means it is 1 meter. So I measured my ruler and it was 1 meter long. Mrs Paterson then told everyone that we have to find 5 things outside that are 2 meters long or 1 meter in length. I found all the 5 things that were 2 meters and 1 meter. These are the things I measured with my ruler and they were 2 meters and 1 meter: Kowhai room door= 2m, chess board= 2m , hallway door = 2m, hall door=2m wide and friendship bench =2m. All of the things I measured were mostly 2 meters long. It was time to pack everything up. The thing I learned was I never knew you could make a 1 meter ruler with cardboard strips. I really wanted to find more things that were 2 meter or 1 meter long. I had a really fun and interesting day at maths. 

The End!  Below are the photos of my work.
