This week we begin a new unit for Math's. We are looking at Transformation of shapes.

Today we looked at rotation. We rotated a shape around a pivot point. We talked about rotating clockwise and anticlockwise. Dominic was able to explain the difference between clockwise and anti clockwise to us. We looked at the second, minute and hour hand on the class clock. It clearly showed the hands rotating around a pivot point. The students then chose a 2d shape, traced it and then traced their shape again as they rotated it around their pivot point. These made a whole variety of patterns.

Tomorrow we will look at reflection.
