This week (and last week) we have been making reading wheels. We had to use our math skills of rotation to find out that 360 (1 full rotation) divided by 6 is 6 portions of 60 degrees each. Then we had to use a protractor to measure exactly 6 60 degree portions onto our reading wheel. I've been reading Dog Man by Dav Pilkey. On sector 1, 3, and 5 we used illustrations about our book. On sector 2, 4, and 6 we wrote about our book. After all of that we had to make a cover for our reading wheel. Did you now that half of 360 degrees = 180 degrees, half of 180 degrees is 90 degrees, and half of 90 degrees is 45 degrees. If you don't understand the picture at the bottom then I'll tell you now.
Radius: The radius is a straight line coming from one side of the circle to the centre of the circle.
Diameter: The diameter is 2 radies, or any straight line coming through the centre of the circle and touches both sides.
