When researchers are working on a project they will often think about they way they are working and how it could be improved as well as considering different approaches to achieve their research goal. They will often record this in some way such as in a lab book and this questioning approach is a form of reflective writing. 6. In academic writing Either with a mirror or without, your Maths students must replicate the pattern on the blank adjacent squares, which they can use as a guide. An excellent activity for visual learners and KS1 Maths.

When children enter Year 4 and Year 5, they will begin to identify multiple lines of symmetry in 2D shapes. Pupils will understand that some shapes have more than one line of symmetry. Pupils in Year 4 will also be asked to draw these patterns. Alternatively, these are one of the least common reflective studs that can be seen on the motorway. If you'd like to learn more about rotational symmetry, then you might like this Rotational Symmetry Worksheet. What is a Line of symmetry?

Reflective studs are a common sight on motorways and are designed to help drivers stay in the correct lane and improve visibility in poor weather or darkness.

Parallelism as a novel marker for structural integrity of retinal layers in optical coherence tomographic images in eyes with epiretinal membrane. Am J Ophthalmol. 2014;157:227–36. These are the most common reflective studs you will see on UK motorways. These simply show where each of the three lanes are in challenging driving conditions.Fraser-Bell S, Ying-Lai M, Klein R, Varma R. The Los Angeles Latino Eye Study Group.

Continuous EIFL was defined on OCT as the presence of a continuous hypo- or hyper-reflective band, extending from the inner nuclear layer and inner plexiform layer across the foveal region, as described before by Govetto et al. [ 22]. Disruption of the inner segment ellipsoid zone was defined as a discontinuous ellipsoid band in the foveal region, and the presence of the cotton ball sign was defined as a round or diffuse hyper-reflective area between the ellipsoid zone and the cone outer segment tip line at the central fovea, as described by Tsunoda et al. [ 23]. The microcystoid retinal changes were described as the presence of multiple, small hypo-reflective roundish-elliptical cystoid spaces in retinal layers. Shapes and patterns can have many different lines of symmetry. This all depends on how many times the shape can be folded in half, yet still remain the same on both sides. A circle, for example, has an infinite number of lines of symmetry because there are more ways of folding it in half than there are of counting. Other shapes, like a love heart, can only be folded in half one way.
