    1.What skills did you use for this task?
    The skills that we used was to kno how many sides there are and make sure it is the right shape.
    2. What knowledge did you need to know to make the number 25?
    We needed to use addition and bonds
    3. What helped you identify the shapes?
    Of how many sides and faces there are.
    4. What patterns did you notice when you had to make more cubes?
    We needed 12 sticks for the first cube and 8 for the second Second

    1. We needed to use teamwork for this task.
    2. I needed the knowledge of addition and multiplication.
    3. Counting the sides and vertices helped me naming the shapes.
    4. You need to use 12 sticks to make a cube and 8 for the one next to it.
    5. You needed to know if it is a rectangle or not.

    1. We used teamwork and communication to complete this task
    2. We used our knowledge of counting and number bonds to do this task
    3. We needed to know shapes, their faces, and how many vertices they have.
    4.You needed 12 sticks for the first cube but then 8 cubes to make the second cube next to it.
    5. We needed to know the properties of the rectangle to recreate them with the amount of cubes you picked.

    1)The skills we used were Teamwork and communication.
    2)To make the number 25 we had to use addition and number bonds
    3)we needed to know the amount of faces and sides
    4) We needed to use our
    knowledge of times table

  6. Tahiyan C.

    1. We used shapes skills and
    2. I needed the knowledge of calculating with the time that I needed
    3. The shapes proprieties helped to identify the shapes
    4. I noticed that if I have to do a cube with another cube then I have to put only 4 of the blue glue and 8 sticks.
    5. I needed the knowledge of the rectangles proprieties.

  7. Safiyah P.

    The skills we had to know were the properties and names of the shapes are and we also used teamwork.
    In order to make 25 you would need to know your number bonds and addition.
    Vertices, faces and sides helped me recognise the 2D shapes.
    The pattern I noticed was that the first cube needed 12 toothpicks and all the rest that were connected to it needed 8 toothpicks.
    The knowledge I needed to use to make rectangles was that rectangles has 4 sides, 4 vertices and I face. Also that the sides were not equal lengths.

    The skills we needed to do this task was to know how many sides there are and we had to work as a team

    To count to 25 we need to know our number bonds and addition

    We needed to know that rectangles have 4 sides and vertices and that they are a 2D shape .

    I noticed when building another cube next to it or on top you add 8 not 12

    1. Gufran E.

      The names of the shapes helped me identify them

  9. Sumayyah A.

    Monday: We used teamwork and communication.
    Tuesday: Your adding and number bonds.
    Wednesday: We needed to know the sides face properties vertices and it was only 2D shapes.
    Thursday: You needed less sticks because you did not need to do the bottom.
    Friday: You needed to know it up to 30 cubes and count properly.

  10. Faizan R.

    1. We used measurements to find out shapes.
    2. We had use addition .
    3 . The properties help finding sides and shapes
    4 . You need 12 sticks and 8 sticks to make another cube .
    5. The things you need to make a rectangle are times tables and addition .

  11. Lawy A.

    Tuesday- Your number blondes and adding.
    Wednesday- You needed to know your faces, properties,sides and varsity.
    Thursday- You needed 12 sticks to make a cube and another 8 to make one next to it.
    Friday- You needed to know what rectangles are.
