Step 1:
The teacher explains to the students that they will be using paper tiles and/ or scanned images of the symbols that they selected during learning task 7, to create an effective siapo design. Discuss and model (by rotating, translating, reflecting etc) how to create an effective design and ask the students to decribe how the symbols have been transformed.
For example:
‘The leaf symbol has been reflected.’
‘The koru sybol has been rotated half a turn.’
The students experiment with reflecting, rotating and translating their own symbols and look at those that make the best effect. Then they glue the tiles on to grid paper.
Note: Getting students to complete this part using ICT would be beneficial as they are able to easily manipulate and reproduce the symbols they need for their design. Some students may also be able to create their symbols (instead of drawing) using ICT.
Step 2:
The students (in groups of four) share their completed siapo design and explain what each symbol represents, why they chose each symbol and how they arranged their tiles using mathematical vocabulary.
Speaking frames: (for the students who need them)
‘My siapo uses a/ an ________ and a/ an _________ symbol.’
‘I chose these symbols because/ as…
‘I have __________ (rotated, reflected, translated)…
Step 3:
The students reflect on their final siapo design in their art journal and write down how they arranged their tiles to create an effective siapo design. They also reflect on what they would do differently next time or how they could improve their design.
