Task 1
Our whole planet consists of many different shapes, and it is important for us to be able to recognize them. Before we start using Minecraft, complete the following activities in your books - Draw and label at least (5) different two dimensional shapes - Draw and label at least (5) different three dimensional shapes - Draw a parallelogram and a rhombus, and list their key features - What is the difference between a regular and an irregular shape. After completing all questions, compare your responses with the person beside you. Which questions were you not able to answer? What are the similarities and differences?, What are some shapes that you don't know?, Is there anything you're excited to learn about? [Approx: 10 MIn] Task 2 OK guys so this is where the fun truly begins! Log into your Minecraft account and join the Lan server Mathlab. As you enter the server, there will be a teleportation station in front of you, use it and it will take you to the classroom. Once teleported make sure that you right click on one of the beds so that you save your position for when you re spawn or renter the server and read the rules regarding the world. You are given permission to roam around the school for 5 minutes and get to know where things are how things work. When the teacher announces that its time to start, make your way down to the Blue room as this is session 1, and access the materials provided within the chests. Once all materials are collected, hear outside and step into the Blue area. Note: It is important to follow the instructions set within the signs, as it will tell you the amount of materials you need for each session. As there are a variety of different materials provided, you are able to mix and match for this session. [Approx: 5 Min] |

Using these materials you are to build (5) 2D shapes you have identified in your books with the inclusion of: - 1 x Parallelogram - 1 x Rhombus - 1 X Trapezium Once these shapes have been completed, choose (3) of the shapes and build what you think would happen if it is 'flipped' Use your signs to identify each shape and to explain what you have done. With the rest of your shapes, identify in your books what would happen if they were to take a half- turn clockwise. {Approx: 20 Min] Task 4 Steve The Zombie has been trying to follow the lesson as well, and has made his own shapes with different materials. Although he was able to create different 2D shapes, he was late to class and was not able to identify his shapes Your job in this task will be to explain to Steve what each shape is by: - Listing key features: edges, number of sides and angles etc. - identifying the different movements of the object: flipped, Half turned, full turn [Approx: 10 Min] Task 5 Well done! You have completed Session 1, Teachers will separate you into groups of 5 with your peers who are sitting closest to.
