Canta Maths Our Presentation !

In Rimu last week, I had a cantamaths exhibit in my class.

My friend and I made a hat for the wearable arts part.

We had to write about our project and why we made it.

This is what we wrote.

Hope you enjoy !

Fancy Juvenile's Hat

Guess how tall our hat is!

Our project was to make a top hat that guess how tall it was to wear. We choose to do this to test people's knowledge of estimating measurements without a ruler or maths tool of some kind.  We used a sewing machine to attach the black fabric on the hat. We used cardboard for the structure of the hat and it was covered in black fabric.

We used a craft knife for cutting out the top and also used it for making the brim.

We used double sided tape to get the top to stick on the hat.

For maths strategies we measured how tall the hat was with a ruler to check how big it was and a little bit of estimating the because the top of the hat was might of been a bit bigger.
