The students in the my year 4./5 class this term learnt about tesselllations. We started by looking at regular and irregular shapes. Through exploration they looked at angles and parallel lines. They did various transformations of reflections, translations and rotations. Students used their shapes to show these transformations and also designed their own tiles to show reflection, translation and rotation. Student used mirrors and geoboards to check their work.Our focus was on reflection at the end of the lesson. Students used a traffic light to indicate how they felt about the task.They then needed to reflect and journal.This was follwed up with students looking for Tessellations out in the schoolyard. They took photos and share with their peers. Fnally they worked own doing their own tessellations using various shapes..Will add photos of students at a later date.
