Tessellations

This week in math we got a choice of what we wanted to do.  We were finishing off our geometry unit with it a mathematical art week. I chose to do tessellation.
First we had to investigate our chosen topic and create a DLO about it.  Here is mine:



Then we got to create our art. I made a tile using google drawings and printed it out.  Then I glued it onto card and cut it out to make my stencil. Finally I very carefully traced it to make my tessellation and coloured it with pastel.  Here is my finished art.

             

I really enjoyed this week's maths as it was something different and we got to choose our own topic.

Transformation Puzzle



This week in numeracy we have been working on transformation.  This is where you reflect the shape over the X  or Y axis or rotate the shape or translate the shape by sliding it up, down, left or right. We had to make a puzzle about this for other people to solve.  Comment below if you know how I have transformed my triangle. I liked learning about transformation as it was more hands on.

Triangles DLO



This week in math we have been working on what makes and acute and an obtuse angled triangle.  We also looked at the different types of triangle there are. I have made a DLO to show my learning on what the triangles are and  what acute and obtuse mean.  I found this learning easy once I found out the definitions.
