Session 11 Piara Waters - Andrea and Jasmine Year 7 Maths

What shape are you?

In each row one student will be given an envelope with a shape in it.

The other students ask yes/no questions to guess the shape:

E.g., Do I have 4 sides? 

Are the sides equal to each other? 

Are you a square?

Spoiler, noone has a square!

Part A: Data Investigation & Conversion

Your Mission: Convert global food crisis statistics between units

Food Crisis Data to Convert:

•"1300 tonnes of food wasted per city  each year"

•"Each Australian wastes 312kg of food annually"

•"A family of 4 throws away 2,500L worth of embedded water in wasted food yearly"

•"Food banks distribute 77 meals per day (avg 400g each)"

Conversion Challenges:

1.Convert 1300 tonnes to kilograms: 1300t = ___kg

2.Convert 312kg to grams: 312kg = ___g

3.Convert 2500L to millilitres: 2500L = ___mL

4.Convert 77 meals that weigh 400g each to total kilograms: 77 meals = ___kg

5.If 1000kg of food could feed 800 people for a day, how many people could 5060kg feed?

Part B: Canva Conversion Animation

Set Up:

1. Create new design → Video → Square (1920×1080px)

Creating Unit Conversion Animation:

1. Add 3 text boxes vertically:

   • Box 1: "1300 tonnes of wasted food" (large font)

   • Box 2: "=" (medium font)

   • Box 3: "[insert calculated # kg" (large font, different color)

2. Animation sequence:

   • Box 1: "Fade in" - 2 seconds

   • Box 2: "Bounce" - starts at 2s, 1 second duration

   • Box 3: "Typewriter" - starts at 3s, 3 seconds duration

3. Add food imagery:

   • Insert 2-3 fruit/vegetable images from [please insert location of these images so they can find them]

   • Position around text

   • Animate: Custom animation > Click and drag

   • Animate: Add an effect, e.g. "Pulse" with staggered timing

4. Share video with Ms Ritchie
