It's been a difficult job... but we're getting there! As we start putting the final touches to our life-size cut-outs, we notice little mistakes that we've made when measuring. Here are a few examples:

"My mistake was i cut my neck too small. I can try and make it bigger and get the measurements correctly." Armaan

"My left-hand-side's pants were perfect but the right-hand-side's pants were 5cm more." Rikitta

"My mistake was that I was 1035cm and my modle was1025cm." Farzad

After doing our anatomical sketches and discussing our bodies and their parts, we decided to try and use our thoughts and questions to create "life-size" models of ourselves. We had to measure everything using metre rulers and then sketch our parts on to large pieces of paper. After that, we'll cut them out and put ourselves together!

We have been doing anatomical sketches of each other, and using them to make observations and ask questions about our bodies. The observations and questions can then be put into mathematical language, for example:

"Is my neck really that thin?"

becomes...

"how wide is my neck?", "what can I use to measure the width of my neck?", "is my neck the same width as any other parts of my body?"
