Maths Art

This week I have been doing art for maths, we had some choices for  maths art. I chose enlargement  and I chose to do lisa from the Simpsons. We had to find out the maths behind the art and create a DLO before we could make our own enlargement art.  When we made our art the first thing we had to do was draw the squares so we could enlarge the photo we chose and then draw it with a pencil and finally colour it in with pastel. Here is my art I hope you like this .

Street Map Geometry

This week we have been doing a street map description when we had to create a street map that shows a variety of geometric terms. We paired up to make a map and then made up our own street names.  Finally we had to describe our map using the geometric terms we had used.  Here is my map and description.
