Making Hexagons And Octagons

We went outside with some chalk and a protractor. We were challenged to try and make a regular hexagon. We knew that because it was regular, it would have six equal angles and six equal length sides.
Here are our results...

  3. Kia ora team,
    Thanks for sharing your learning. Great to see you working your way through the problem in the photos. It looks like great team work happening as you collaborated on your problem. Did you share your ideas with others along the way? How did the magical breakthrough happen?

    1. Hi Tania.
      Thanks for your comment. The kids did lots of sharing amongst each other as we progressed towards our goal. The breakthrough came when someone wrote 360 degrees, and some one else noted that a square has 4 90 degree angles.

  6. Bonjour Madame(s) and Mishour(s) of Pap-west 14.
    My name is Annabelle, I am a Yr 8 Student at St. Bernadettes school.
    I enjoyed viewing the images of your class drawing Hexagons on the concrete with a protractor, it must have been nice drawing on the concrete with chalk (my class doesn't draw with chalk anymore).
    Next time, could you possibly add a video with one of the students/groups explaining about a hexagon and their measurements/etc?
    Thanks, also I don't entirely speak french, just a learner.

    next time you could explain a bit more about what you did in the slide rather than in the description.

    1. Hi Tyler.
      We didn't want to add to many steps about what we were doing in case your teacher wanted to copy the same idea and get you to do it too.
