Maths Engineering

For Maths Engineering - each group had the task of making an object that when it did two rotations it would cover exactly 3 metres.  Due to time constraints, the concept of making a wheel with a handle was only achieved by one group.  The main purpose of the activity was striving for accuracy and understanding the concepts of circumference and perimeter, and using multiplication, division and measurement in a practical task.  One person from each group manually rotated their shape twice and the distance was measured from the 3 metre mark.  Some groups modified their shape several times as they were striving for accuracy.
