Flight Maths Challenge

For this Week's maths, LS2 have been working collaboratively on a flight challenge to do with maths. We had to follow the instruction on the T.V and had to read it carefully in order to do it carefully. Our first task was to get into our groups, then we had to make our own planes and test out which person flew it the furtherest. We then had to discuss as a group who plane we were going to use as a team plane and have a competition with the groups. Once all the teams had there design we had a competition on who would chuck it the furtherest. We changed one of the variables which was the wind, once we did this some of the students planes went far than before and some went a shorter distance. We also measured how far the planes went. The top 3 was Thomas, Tai, and Zahn. I really enjoyed this task because we had no help but if we wanted help we would be able to ask our teachers. I also liked how our group worked as a team to finish off the design. For our group we got 6.44 for our first throw, 6.20 for our second throw, 4.25 for our third throw and 5.19 for our 5th.
