We'll also being using this maths website to define and create our own tessellations: Maths is fun 

Rotations and Turns

This week, Halberg have been learning about rotation, turns and angles. Here is some of the turns we have been practising. Try using google maps and street view to give directions from your house to Springston school. Terms we have been using:
