Class Happenings - Numeracy
Years 2/3 and 4 have investigated 2 Dimensional shapes. Along with this, we have discovered a variety of shapes and shape properties, such as tessellations, symmetry, transformations, shapes in the environment and types of lines. We further investigated transformations by reflecting a variety of images across the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of reflection.
The diagonal line of reflection proved quite tricky.
Year 5 and 6 are also investigation 2 Dimensional shapes. One activity was to fold an A4 sheet to form a shape and as a group discover other shapes and create a larger version. This provided opportunities to use transformation of reflection, translation and rotation. Some interesting discoveries were made.
