Over the past few weeks the 5/6 students have been designing their own zoos during Maths lessons. We have been applying our knowledge of perimeter and area of shapes to design a zoo that can fit different animal enclosures including giraffes, bears, seals and hippos. The design required us to use our problem solving skills to consider the different amounts of space each animal requires. As some animals use more space than others this impacts how many animals we could include in the zoo as well as influencing which animals we chose to use. We also had to think about which animals are more popular for visitors to our zoo.

Overall, everyone really enjoyed being the desingers of a new zoo.

Here were a few of the designs from 5/6 Blue.
