In Mirror Symmetry, students are introduced to the beauty of symmetry found in nature and in various cultures around the world. Butterflies, buildings, masks, and countless other objects are symmetrical. Students advance their understanding of geometric properties and spatial relationships by exploring lines of symmetry within a single geometric shape and in an arrangement of multiple objects. Working with the lines of symmetry in these challenging activities allows children to further explore the concept of geometry, number, estimation, area, fractions, decimals, and measurement.
In this investigation, students have opportunities to:
- Identify objects that are symmetrical and those that are not
- Describe why an object is symmetrical or why not
- Create objects or a design that is symmetrical
- Identify the number of lines of symmetry in a given shape
- Explore fractions informally
- Use concepts of symmetry to analyze shapes
- Use symmetry to get an object to reflect onto another object
- Create a symmetrical design
