Geometry Garden

We are describing the different parts of our garden and what geometry features they show. 
What type of symmetry do your flowers have? In my garden my flowers have a reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry.

This means that my flowers have 4 lines of reflective symmetry, and you can rotate my flowers 8 times. It will still look the same! 

What type of symmetry does your butterfly have?   In my garden my butterfly has a reflective symmetry. 

This means that my butterfly has 1 line of reflective symmetry! And it still looks the same, if you cut it half.

Pathway

What geometry feature does your pathway show? 

What did you do to make sure the pathway?

In my garden my pathway shows that it has a tessellation.

To make my pathway I add some yellow and green triangles, and rotate it a bit. Then, I kept doing it as a pattern. Also, there must be no gaps and no overlaps too.   

This means that my pathway is repeating yellow and green triangles, together. No gaps and no overlaps! 

Task Description: This week we are learning reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry, translation and tessellation! I learnt that a circle has infinity lines of reflection symmetry. Also, my best part of Geometry is when Mr Moran shows us clockwise and anticlockwise in the whiteboard. I can sometimes forget what a clockwise and anticlockwise is.
