At the beginning of this lesson we started by having a quick game of guess the shape. Mr Bird gave us some clues for us to then draw the shape and write its name underneath. We then continued onto our main lesson which followed on from our work with mirrors and symmetry. We were set a challenge to find all the lines of symmetry in different shapes. Some tables had squares, rectangles and triangles while others had other shapes like hexagons, octagons, pentagons and many others.
Quickly, the children drew round the shapes onto paper and got to work cutting them out and then folding them in order to find all the lines of symmetry.
After that we stuck them onto a board to show how many they had.Right at the end of the lesson we looked at all of the shapes and found a very interesting pattern. Do you know what it was?
We are going to find some symmetry next week. We like your ideas. You have good ideas. We learned lots of things from you like symmetry and how to make houses and how to have a new name for our quad blogging. Thank you for sharing all these ideas.
ReplyDeletePlease can you tell us your pattern because we don't know it.
