We have been learning about symmetry in our 2-D Geometry math unit. Shapes are symmetrical when you can fold them in half along a line of symmetry and the two sides line up perfectly. We have explored symmetry by cutting out shapes and folding them, and using mirras to check for lines of symmetry.
Today we folded a piece of paper in half and drew half of an image (e.g. half a flower) and then cut it out. When we opened up the paper we had a perfectly symmetrical picture!
Here are some of the symmetrical pictures we made:
