What are we learning this week:
For Maths Craft, this week he had been learning about String Art and Meander.
String Art: String Art is a method of weaving string or wool to create geometric patterns or pictures.
On Monday we began on string art, first, we got given a circle template that we had to cut out in order to put the string through. Once we made the basic shape, we could make our own by testing out different spaces or changing colours.

Meander: A meander is a repeated pattern or motif, usually constructed in from a continuous line.
For Thursday we made meander patterns that involve symmetry and translation, we were handed template papers and instruction. First, we drew column-like shapes into the square and added two extra squares to make L shapes and connected them to each other.
What am I wondering?
I am wondering what design I could make using string art.
Hi Sofia
ReplyDeleteAnother great blog post with very clear explanations of the maths craft projects. Have you decided to do string art for your big project? You'll have to let us know about the challenges and successes that you have with this.
