Matariki sisters

I worked together with Zain to create this poem about Matariki. We made this to somewhat celebrate Matariki and show our knowledge about Matariki since we have been learning about it for the past few weeks.

Matariki rhombus

Walht: identify and draw a rhombus

Vocabulary: Quadrilateral, parallelogram, parallel, diagonal, bisect, polygon, specialist, right angles, opposite, arrows, degrees

For this activity we had to use the seven stars of Matariki as points to draw a rhombus. A rhombus is a specialised four sided figure. It’s opposite lines are parallel and the diagonals must bisect each other to create a 90 degree angle.

I enjoyed doing this activity however I did have a few difficulties. Only about two words confused me which were bisect and parallelogram. However now I have a sound understanding of  both what it means and what is a rhombus.
