Maths Week in 5 White

We have had an amazing week in 5 White this week. Watch our video to see what we have learnt. I am so impressed with the tenacity of the class this week as we have tackled some really tricky concepts and applied our problem solving skills to some truly mind-boggling questions.

    i learnt what a platonic solid is
    when we learned about a unit fraction
    A platonic solid is a shape which has faces and is 3d such as cube or tetrahedrom
    A prime number is a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself.
    you say 0 like ling.

    I learnt how to build a platonic solid.
    What challenged me the most was when we were doing the quiz about the great wall of china.
    A platonic solid is a solid that has all of the faced the same shape.
    A prime number is a number that can only be divided by 1 and it self.
    Zero in Chinese is ling.

    I learnt how to build a platonic solid with card and learnt about 4 countries such as Greece, Egypt , China and India.
    The mystery about who holds the key to the Taj Mahal.
    A platonic solid is something that has faces around the shape and is 3D.
    A prime number is some thing that divided by 2, 3 , 4 , 5 and 11.
    0 in Chinese is Ling.

    I learnt that the great Wall of China is 4,722 feet high!
    I got challenged making platonic solids
    A platonic solid is one of five regular solids
    Some examples are tetrahedron, cube and octahedron
    A prime number is a number that is only by itself and 1
    You say ling in Chinese for zero

    I have learnt maths in different countries, I think that the Indian Rangoli patterns is the hardest to make animals and hardest of the week.
    Platonic solids are tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and a icosahedron (which is shapes that are made by other shapes.) A prime number is when a number that isn’t a even number but the only number that is a prime number and is even is the number 2, the prime numbers can divide by 1 and itself.The way you say zero in Chinese is ling

    I have learnt about different countries such as Greek ,Egypt ,china and India .
    On the day we were learning about China and we had to answer the questions about the Great Wall .A Platonic solid is a type of 3D shape all faces are the same and there are only five of them e.g. a cube is one of the Platonic solids.A prime number is a type of number you can only times it by 1 and it’s own e.g. 2 is a prime number meaning a factor of itself and 1.0 in Chinese in long (I had to Research this)
