CS

RT

Turn right

LT

Turn left

We drew different patterns which you get when you divide a circle up into equal sections. We then looked to see if the patterns were symmetrical or not. Some of them were really beautiful.

Our teacher explained that if we used a computer program called LOGO it would work in the same way that had planned our shapes on paper. The computer would follow instructions and it would be the same as drawing the patterns with a ruler.
