Triangles – Trinity

Kia ora.

On Thursday (week 7 I think), we used this site called ‘Scratch’. It’s basically about coding. Using the codes, we had to try make our sprite/cat draw a triangle (by dragging the codes onto the grids). It was easy because Tanya taught us the basics. When I was walking around class, I noticed that most people made their triangles upside down. It took me awhile to code my Isosceles triangle but I’m glad that I managed to successfully finish my work.

Down below shows my project I did about my 4 triangles in scratch. (Scalene, Isosceles, right angle, and equilateral.) If you were to click the green flag, the cat would start functioning and create 4 triangles. An Equilateral is a triangle with all sides equal (60°). A right angle, presents a triangle that’s exactly equal to 90°. (Fun fact, the right angle is the most popular angle known.) An Isosceles has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. And finally, the scalene triangle which has no congruent sides nor angles. Ask me any questions about what you think!

I hope you enjoyed my blog, (and I hope it makes sense and you learnt at least something) bye!

24. Maths DLO

Kia Ora.

For maths this week, Tanya taught us how to draw and measure triangles by using rulers, the square grids in our maths book, and a protractor.

We had to draw each triangle by following an instruction, for example; Move 4 squares (in your math book, on the grids) to your right and add a dot. Then count six down starting from that dot you just added. After that’s done, rule a line that’s seven squares across. Then, rule two lines up that touches the dot on the fourth one. Then you have your ‘Equilateral’ shape.

The four triangle shapes we learnt how to draw using our ruler and grids were ‘Isosceles’ ‘Right angle’ ‘Equilateral’ and an ‘Scalene.’ In my DLO below, it talks about the triangles that I just stated.

I created this DLO on a doc.

Thanks for reading, bye!
