About this event

Explore the world of flowers and their distaste for fractions. We will spend time drawing flowers according to different ratios and discuss which seem more life-like. Then we'll explore how to draw a great looking flower mathematically using angle-a-trons.

Mode: Online

Schedule: 1 x 1.5 hr sessions

Suitable for: High-achieving students in Years 5 - 6.

Prerequisites: To participate fully in this program, it is recommended that students have some familiarity with protractors.

Required Equipment:

  • A device with acess to the internet and Zoom
  • A printed copy of this sheet or a protractor
  • Paper
  • Pencil & ruler
  • Scissors
  • Colouring pencils and markers optional

Note to teachers: So that we can allow as many students as possible to participate, we ask that if you wish to book more than 10 students you purchase a group ticket and have students participate via a single Zoom, streamed into the classroom, rather than have students logging on through individual devices.

As a school, if students have already participated in this program, please allow other schools the opportunity to enrol students first.
