Maths in art and nature (five days).
Children make their own tessellating patterns. Starting with a simple design they use rotations, reflections and translations to make different patterns. They draw fractals beginning with an equilateral triangle. The Golden Section is introduced, and this links with the Fibonacci sequence, examples in nature and architecture pointed out and children find pairs of body measurements with this ratio.

Shame it didn't have any illustrations with it but I might come back to this once working outside becomes a bit warmer and drier
Great planning for linking maths to art and nature. thanks
