Primary 6/7

Yesterday we learned about scale in maths. We looked at the mountains and rivers in Europe and decided to focus on Mont Blanc, Aneto, the Rhine and the Danube.

After a lot of discussion on scale we agreed on a suitable scale and we went outside to draw the mountains and rivers to scale in the playground. We drew the mountains using the scale 1km : 1m and we drew the rivers with the scale 1000km : 1m.

Next to Aneto we drew Wallace’s monument using the same scale, it was tiny in comparison!

Here is a Shape Collage of us working in our groups:
