Tiling with 2D shapes

During our Tuesday maths sessions with Mrs Johnston, we have been learning all about shape. We have looked at 3D shapes, 2D shapes and have kick started this term looking at tiling or 'tessellating'. This is a pattern made up of 2D shapes which fit together perfectly, with no overlaps and no gaps.

We spotted the repeating shapes in these patterns and coloured them in correctly to make beautiful designs. Sometimes it was a little tricky to see the where the pattern was!

                      

Then we had a go making our own with a variety of 2D shapes. There was some excellent group work going on and some lovely designs made too, well done P4!
