  • There are 2 methods you can use – choose whichever you prefer
    • Partitioning
    • Convert to improper fraction:
  • Watch the videos and complete the worksheets.

LO: Designing a Mayan mask

  • Masks played a central role in Maya culture. They were made for a variety of occasions and purposes. In fact, they were even used to decorate temples. Wealthy Maya were buried with a death mask, which was intended to protect the wearer on their journey to the afterlife.
  • You are going to design a Maya mask.
  • Decide whether you are going to create a death mask, or a mask for a special occasion. Your design should suit this.
  • You must use symbolism – colours, images, or markings
  • You may use the attached template, or design the mask in your home learning book.
  • Please write a short description explaining what your mask will be used for, and what the symbols are.

That’s all for today! Bye for now.
