Each student interpreted the task differently, producing a wide range of intricate and visually appealing designs. Some focused on detailed geometric patterns, while others explored bold and expressive use of colour. This diversity highlighted the students\u2019 ability to think independently and approach a common task with unique perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1330\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00\">In addition, the activity encouraged focus and patience while fostering a calm, productive classroom environment.
