Shape and Symmetry

For our end of term Maths assessment task, the pupils have enjoyed creating robots that have control panels that can be changed.  The first control panel we made had to have a repeated 2D shape pattern.  Some pupils chose to colour the patterns in order too.  The second control panel needed to show symmetry.  This was harder and some pupils took a couple of attempts to get this right.  Symmetry has also been worked on at home  where pupils created symmetrical butterfly patterns and also as our Maths Task this week.  Some great symmetrical patterns were created.  Look at some of the super work that has been completed by P1/2!

2D Shape

Today small groups have worked around different 2D shape stations.  They were busy playing a shape game with Mrs Sutherland where they had to spot shapes in the environment.  Some had to create and continue repeating patterns and in pairs, they worked on describing shapes for their partner to guess.  The final station asked them to create 2D pictures and patterns on an iPad and count how many of each shape was used.  Everyone enjoyed the Maths session today!
