Last week in Te Ngahere for maths we got to try out castle constructions which were based on measurements. When we tried out this task first we had to get into groups and then we had to use all the measurements provided to create our castle. We had to do this on a card and they were allowed to be any color we would like then we got started. We ended up starting with the wall of the castle, the measurements for them we're 15 by 8 plus a tab which was 1 centimeter and we had seven of these. Next we cut and measured the rectangular and circular towers and the measurements for thoses we're 20 by 11 for the circular ones and we needed 2 of those and 20 by 10 for the rectangular ones and we needed four of them. Then we needed circle cut outs with the circumference as 16.4 cm, we used a compass and a ruler to measure this. Once we had everything cut out we then started actually cutting them out and constructing our castle. I found this really hard at first because I had no idea what to do but then I started getting the hang of it and it got really fun and easy.
Have you ever constructed a castle before?
