Angles!

This week we were learning about angle. Me and my maths group, the Milwaukee Bucks grabbed our maths book and our big book to our Mr Moran’s desk. We learnt about other angles call “right angle”, “acute angle”, “obtuse angle”, “reflex angle” and “straight angle”. We know that a right angle is exactly 90 degrees! acute angle is less than 90 degrees, obtuse angle is always lager than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. A reflex angle is more than 180 degrees, and a straight angle, is a straight as line! equal to 180 degrees. So, our first maths activity was to predict the angles that our teacher drew. We had to write the degrees to each angle, we had to estimate!

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.
