Paper Planes Challenge

This week for Maths, we have been working collaboratively on a maths challenge where we were challenging ourselves to create and design a paper plane that will fly the furtherest. Last week, Mrs. Anderson set up a silent challenge and in our groups of 5-6, we trialled many different designs of paper planes. Today, we created the ultimate and final design for our team. We flew all the planes off the balcony, on the top field, in the playground and in LS2. Then today, we accurately measured our distances in class. We had different designs so each plane landed in different places. I think everyone in LS2 enjoyed this activity and at the same time, learned a lot since we had to think about our designs, how we found them and collaborated with our team at the same time.
