SQUARE

This is my square. I worked it out by knowing it has 4 equal sides. I did 1 side then copied it 3 times. I know a square has 4 right angles as well as 4 straight sides. The angles are 90 degree angles.

RECTANGLE

Here is my rectangle. It’s just like 2 squares put together, 2 sides are a bit longer than the other 2. the long sides are parallel and the short sides are parallel.

TRIANGLES (2)

Here are 2 triangles, they have 3 straight sides with 45 and 135 degree angles. The first one was easy but the second one was harder. I made the second one the same as the first one, then I had to change it.

shape commands

PENTAGON

The pentagon was pretty easy, it only had 75, 45 and 90 degree angles. Knowing it had 5 straight sides made it a lot easier. A pentagon reminds me of the shape of a house.

RHOMBUS

Here is a rhombus it is a four sided shape. I found it really hard to get the last turn correct. I kept getting it either to short or to long.

shape commands

OCTAGON

The octagon was easy, all I did was work out the fist 2 commands then repeated it 8 times. The 2 commands where fd 50 rt 45. It was really easy!

A PATTERN

I made this pattern by changing the degrees and moved the Turtles. I used circles that go left and ones that go right. I don't have any commands because I Used just random commands and deleted some. It was fun and I think the pattern is really cool.
