Week 7- Catapult STEAM project

Hey whanau,

This week the children are learning about how to build catapults.

To know they are successful they will show the following in Reading, Writing and Maths

Reading: the children will be able to visualise what a catapult is through reading the text

Writing: the children will be able to elaborate on their ideas using examples and feelings

Maths: To use arrays to solve our multiplication equations and transfer this skill to our DMIC

Reading work:

This weeks reading you are learning to visualise the text

Learning intention:

  -how to build a catapult

  -trying

To use your mind and visualise what you will be making with the catapult

Successful: How can you show this?

The text	How did you visualise what you are building

Choose another text to read

Learning intention:  To read the text and summarise it in my own words

Successful:  How can I show that I can do this?

The text I read	Summarise the text

Writing Work:

Title-how to make a catapult

First you need the the materials.

7 popsicle sticks

Rubber bands

A bottle from a milk bo

Hot glue gun

Small objects to lunch like a marshmallow.

Next, use your mind to think what are you going to use and write it on a piece of paper and build it.

Then you are finished test it out if it did not  worke do some replacements on it, if it works show your catapult to your friend, teacher, parents and your brothers and sisters.

After that you can make another one if you want to you can challenge your friends/parents to make a catapult.

Finally, know you know how you make a catapult be yourself that is AMAZING!

Maths work: 

Here is your work for maths.  This will help with your DMIC work.

Learning intention:  To use arrays in my maths to solve multiplication work

Successful:  how can you show you are successful?  

I will show this by using repeated addition to solve the times table

Question	Answer	Question	Answer
A-4X5=	5+5+5+5=20	F	4+4+4+4+4=20
B-6X3=	6+6+6=18	G	3+3+3+3+3+3=18
C-5X6=	5+5+5+5+5=30	H	5+5+5+5+5=30
D-7X2=	7+7=14	I	2+2+2+2+2+2+2=14
E-3X4=	3+3+3+3=12	J	3+3+3+3=12

Our DMIC Followup work

Here you will find the word problem to help you with your DMIC project.

Whakapono 24 is doing a STEM project.  It is to build a roller coaster out of straws.  There are 7 groups and each group needs 21 straws.  How many straws does Mr Savage need to buy for the class?

Show your working out here:

20+20+20+20+20+20+20=140

1+1+1+1+1+1+1=7

140+7=147
