Students practiced using a compass by creating a radial design. We discussed vocabulary words that students should know and how to use the compass safely. With practise, they learnt how to use a compass to create a pattern of circles. The students can explain how to use a repeating pattern to create a radial design. Students loved and enjoyed drawing patterns using a circle
