Good News - We are great mathematicians in Earth Class! We created our own symmetrical geometric patterns. We used an isometric paper template to show our creative mathematical thinking.
Earth Class has been busy asking scientific questions lately. We planned our investigation and prepared all the resources. Making careful and organised observations over time is helping us to answer our BIG Question.
We are scientists! We have worked as a team and now we are more confident in identifying and classifying invertebrates - Well done Earth class!
