Symmetry is all around us ... you will find symmetry in buildings, bridges, animals, plants, flowers, art, well, just about everywhere. So, what is symmetry?
The easiest way to explain it is with a video. Click on the BUTTERFLY to watch how symmetry works. You will probably not understand all the words but don't worry, just watch. Use the buttons at the bottom of the video screen to Pause/Stop Go Back. At the end of the video you can practice finding lines of symmetry!
These awesome designs were created by Mohammad and Ahmed with Kidspiration 3 Math Shapes.
CAN YOU FIND THE LINE OF SYMMETRY? IS THERE ONLY ONE LINE OF SYMMETRY?
IMAGINE FOLDING THE DESIGNS, DO BOTH SIDES OF THE LINE OF SYMMETRY MATCH?
If they do, the sides are CONGRUENT.
LOOK AROUND YOU, CAN YOU FIND SYMMETRICAL THINGS IN THE CLASSROOM, OUTSIDE, AT HOME?
