3-D Lettering using isometric paper!

This week we brought maths and art together to create  3-D projections using isometric paper. 

Using specially marked paper, it is possible to use vertical lines and horizontal lines (at a 30 degree angle) to add height, width and depth to a shape. 

This week, Rm 2 students used their new skills to use an isometric alphabet to create their own name tags.

Check out the work of Jarreka, Nina, Sione, Isaiah, Kauri, Nevaeh,  Caleb and Valeli!
