To reinforce our study of multiplication facts and incorporate some work with patterns, this week we created spirolaterals - figures formed by a series of steps of length with an angle turn after each step.
Students started by solving a set of multiplication facts. Once they found the products, they had to then add the digits until the final answer was a single digit number. Next, they had to review the final answers and determine the pattern. Finally, they used this pattern and a series of turns (right, down, left, up) to create their spirolateral. Here are some of the final results!
