Intro to Geometry

This week, with Ms Elder, the class has started working on Geometry concepts. We are working towards making some beautiful winter art that combines Art, Math, and Science (stay tuned for this work in December!). 

Today, we explored the concept of Symmetry and made connections with our work in Science on reflections. 

Take a look at these exploration activities that show our understanding of Symmetry.

"She is drawing half the owl to make it symmetrical." ~ Renat

 

"He is drawing a half-shape using a mira. The mira is translucent so it reflects the image to make a reflection." ~ Renat

Here, they are folding and cutting to make a line of symmetry

The three learning tasks: Draw the Reflection, Fold and Cut, Mira Reflection
