3rd graders and Symmetry


Aren't these cool?
The third graders have been exploring symmetry.
These designs have multiple lines of symmetry!

Here is what we did...
fold a paper in half, corner to corner...



Then in half again... 

and in half again....  

Then write your name... I usually recommend all caps
with letters large enough to touch the edges of the triangle

then, unfold back to your largest triangle and trace....

then unfold/refold and trace again.....

until your design goes all the way around

and color...


I love these when they are all colored and hung together :)
