WALT create designs with rotational symmetry
Another of Mrs Robertson’s magical maths lessons!

2. Draw a circle and cut it out.

3. Fold it in half and half again to create 8 segments.

4. Use it as a guide
to mark the 8 segments on an identical circle

5. Use a ruler to draw the eight segments.

6. cut from one of the original folded circles.
Take a segment
cut from one of the original folded circles.

7. Draw a pattern on the segment...anything goes!

8. Scribble pencil on the back of the segment.

9. Lay the pattern in one segment ... exactly.
Draw over the pattern... It will print!

10. Repeat this on each segment.

11. Start to colour the pattern.
