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 :)
