Intergrating Maths and Topic

Walt:make sense of our learning.

In room 11 we have made paper pyramids. We were doing it because we were studying about pyramids in Egypt. It was very easy making the pyramid. We all were learning about the seven wonders of the ancient world. I was very fascinated by my work. In Egypt the pyramids were man made. It took a lot of work to make giant pyramids. I was also learning Egyptians architecture. I was very difficult to do. But I got one perfect drawing.  

The Pyramid of Giza

Walt:write an information report.

The pyramids were built because when the pharaoh dies the Egyptians would put him into a tomb then finally put him into the pyramid. The pyramid was built over 2000 years before Christ. The pyramid was built to protect the pharaoh’s body.  

The Great pyramid was built for Pharaoh Khufu.  King Khufu ruled Egypt for over 20 years.  

Khufu’s pyramid was built in Giza. It was built on a plateau. The pyramid was built away from Cairo. The pyramid entrance was always in the north. The pyramid was part of other buildings.

The pyramids height was almost 7 metres high. The Egyptians used 2,300,000 limestone blocks. The pyramid was the tallest structure before the Eiffel Tower was built.

People are allow to go into the pyramid. You have to be fit to go in the pyramid because the tunnels are skinny. Mostly tourist explore the giant pyramid. Inside the pyramid is very small. Khufu’s pyramid was one of the seven wonders.
