Designing symmetrical patterns

Team work

The second part of the autumn term sees us working on another area of geometry in maths. We began the week by investigating how to make symmetrical patterns. Using our numicon resources some of us designed patterns with horizontal symmetry, some with vertical symmetry and some even had diagonal symmetry. Working with partners helped us to understand that, 'an object is symmetrical when one half is a mirror image of the other half'.
