This week the children were challenged to make a range of different 2D shapes using 6 equilateral triangles.
There was a lot of trial and error before sticking them down.
 |
| Labelled shapes made from 6 triangles |
 |
| Counting the sides to help work out the name |
Next the children investigated reflective lines of symmetry.
The game we played is
here. It's called "Symmetry sort"
 |
| Sorting shapes based on reflective lines of symmetry |
 |
| No lines of symmetry - one line of symmetry - two or more lines of symmetry |
Finally the children had to self assess their work. Every session they reflect on their learning and place their book in the tray that best describes how they feel. Year 4 are very good at being honest.
 |
| Reflecting on today's work |
 |
| Placing her book in the green box |
 |
| The whole class has self assessed their learning |
Next week we will continue with some more symmetry activities.
Here is a game to try, can you work out how many lines of symmetry the shapes have.
See if you can spot the shape Jamie researched on Tuesday.
