GEOMETRY

We have been learning about shapes and patterns during maths this term. We have been exploring the idea of symmetry and created our own symmetrical tiles with a vertical line of symmetry. Here are our results...

We used copies of our symmetrical tiles to show different patterns that can be made by manipulating the tiles. These include translation (when the tile slides horizontally or vertically to cover a surface)...

...reflection (when the tile is flipped horizontally or vertically to cover a surface)...

...and rotation (when the tile is turned a half or quarter turn to cover a surface)...

I think we've all done a pretty good job!
