Symmetry
We have been exploring the concept ‘symmetry‘ through games and art. The students looked for the matching symmetrical picture and shape in the online game Symmetry Matching. The students explained that “Symmetry is when one side looks the same as the other.”
Examples of symmetry can be found in their immediate environment.
SLO: Recognise line symmetry.
The students then used the iPad to take a picture of their face. They created a portrait of themselves using their knowledge of symmetry.
They created symmetrical patterns using manipulatives in the classroom.
