Today during maths we were working on geometry. We were given a piece of paper and had to follow the sequence of ordered pairs and connect them to the corresponding points on the graph above. We used our ladder rule which was across then upwards. Jorja and I worked collaboratively and were able to solve the problem. Once we finished, we then had to color in our animal.
