Triangle learning with troy

Description: We have been learning about Geometry for Maths for the past few weeks. We looked at all the different types of shapes and in particular triangles. We have learnt that there are 4 different types of triangles and we created something to share our understanding about each of them.

Image:

Big idea: Make a poster/video about the 4 triangles and how much sides and angles.

Evaluation: I think I did very well but my photo is blurry.

Feedback/feedforward: good job Jake you did good but it is blurry. Tane

• Use your face to tell a story through facial expression
• Knowing the story, knowing the setting
• Get the picture into your listener’s head
• Stay in character - keep your composure.
• Audience participation

Evaluation: I think I need to take a breath then say my story because I laugh a bit then I keep going. I need to know my story because I keep needing to remember my story and I need to stop saying and in my story. I did feel a bit scared but I over come that by waiting a bit and then tolled my story and I felt a bit happy.

This is my two stars and a wish.

Stuck video

On Monday, we watched a really funny movie about 2 people who get stuck on an escalator. Have you seen it?

   

We think that we can relate the message in this movie to our learning...Its like being stuck in our learning, we need to ask for help and we need to look for ways to solve the problem ourselves. We thought it would be fun to make our own movie to get this message across. We had 2 groups of criteria for our movie...

Image: 

Big idea:

Criteria: (Content)

• Video - 30 seconds long, time is limited. 
• Scenario - Show someone being stuck and not using the ability to act. 
• Clear Message - Short sharp clip. Can the watcher get the point of your video?
• Unique - Coming up with something funny that gets a laugh from others. 
• Time Passing - Do you need to show time passing in your clip to emphasise your message. 

Criteria: (Movie)

• Light - Make sure the sun isn’t creating a hard to see clip. 
• Voice Volume - Needs to be louder than other background volume eg Noise, Kids.
• Frame - What’s in the frame to make your message obvious. 
• Steady Hands - Make sure the camera is still. 
• Individual Clips - Don’t do one continuous shot of 30 seconds. Make a range of short clips and join together. 

Feedback/feedforward: I think you should try and use the rest of your time to make your video a little bit more obvious what's wrong so it would be more entertains and funny.

I think it was good and I like how you added stuff in like the clock ticks. Benp
