Rotation - Maths

Room 1 loves doing Maths on Fridays! Last Friday we looked at reflection (see below), this Friday we looked at Rotation.

If something rotates it goes around and around. We brainstormed some objects and shapes which show rotation. For example:
-a propeller
-a windmill
-flower petals
-a star (or starfish)
-a wheel on your bike or car
-a fan

We then took one cardboard petal and cooperated with a buddy to draw around it on paper. We then rotated the petal and did it again. We kept rotating it until the petal reached the top again. It formed the flower!
