This week for maths we have been doing rotational symmetry and line symmetry. We have also learned how to enlarge and reduce shapes. This is what I wrote about enlarging and reducing shapes:
I learned how to reduce and enlarge shapes
Then I had a picture of a small shape and I enlarged it by 2 because that was the scale factor. I learned that if the scale factor is 1/2 then you reduce the shape and not enlarge it. If the dot is in the middle of the shape before you enlarge or reduce it, then when you do enlarge/reduce the shape, the dot has to be in the middle.
What I learned about total order of symmetry:
I learned that the total order of symmetry is the lines of symmetry and the rotational symmetry put together. If a shape has 3 lines of symmetry and 3 lines of rotational symmetry, the total order is 6.
We have also been writing an argument on homework. I am against homework. I think that I did an okay job for my writing, I used transition words and varied sentence starters.
My goals for next week:
On Friday we are doing the college testing, so I want to do really well in that. I will do this be concentrating when I do the test and not giving up.
To finish all my maths. I can do this by working really hard and not getting distracted.
To get a good mark on my homework argument.
