I tried stacking cups because I didn't have any rocks or pebbles. We are going to go to a beach with flat stones but it is after the summer learning journey so I won't be able to write about it.
The pyramid shape was the sturdiest and it was 6 cups wide and 6 high. I tried stacking like a tower and I got it 8 cups but I didn't get a photo of that and my kitten knocked it down. Here are my photos.
To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
Encourage me to make another post

ReplyDeleteTe miharo hoki! This is awesome, I liked how you had created 2 different types of towers using your cups. It seems like your cat must have enjoyed this activity too.
Another great tower idea is to create a tower using a deck of cards, this one is challenging. Here is a link if you wanted to give it a go. https://youtu.be/xWDnJt1McT4
Did you find this activity to be challenging?

Hey Emilie,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on this task, well done on using you initiative and improvising with the resources you had so you were still able to complete the task without rocks or stones. I'm glad you got a photo of the culprit, that's a very cheeky kitten.
I've thought up a maths question for you; If you need 21 cups to make a cup pyramid that's 6 cups tall, how many cups will you nee to make an 8 cup tall pyramid?
Looking forward to hearing your answer in the comments,
Daniel
Hi Daniel, it was hard but mum helped me draw it to figure it out and it would be 36 cups
DeleteHey Emilie,
DeleteWell done, that is 100% correct, clever idea of mum's to draw it out. Great job both of you.
Hi my name is Lochlan from Ahipara school. I loved the part when the kittin knocked the tower of cups over. Did you think about making the tower bigger like 12 cups high? why did you make the tower?
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Emilie from st francis of assisi school no I did not think about that. I built the tower because it was my school work. thank you
