Patterns Of Symmetry Collection

OT: Visual Perception

I really wish that I would have taken more pictures throughout our geometry unit. There are so many creative ideas out there to help solidify these concepts for kids. A few of the activities we did included: building various 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks modeling various types of lines using pretzels (for the lines), M\u0026Ms (for points and to create line segments), and candy corn (to show how the lines go on endlessly) creating foldables to remember different types of angles using the idea from Fabulous Fourth Grade! we also talked about transformations, using gross motor actions, and creating an interactive foldable. and my students’ favorite activity: the symmetry activity! This center was pretty simple. Having 4th and 5th graders, it took just a few minutes of reviewing for the students to remember what symmetry is and for them to get the hang of creating a symmetric pattern. Students used their rulers to create the line of symmetry. We also added to a new interactive bulletin board, I will have to post pictures of that soon! Hope your having a wonderful fall, Mrs. Whitehair

Kids can learn about symmetry with this free printable circle set that encourages creative learning. Symmetry is one of my favorite mathematical concepts because I think symmetrical patterns are pleasing to look at–do you agree? The printable included with this activity has a blank circle, 2 section circle, 4 section circle, an
