What does Symmetry mean in Maths

We learnt that something that is symmetrical has corresponding similar parts: in other words, one side is the same as the other. If you draw a line down the centre of something and get two similar halves, it's symmetrical. Shapes like squares and circles are symmetrical. We decided to do some art to show our learning. First we folded an A3 paper into halves. Then we put blobs of different coloured paints on one half. Then we put the other half over and spread the paint with our hands. When we opened the paper, we found that we had created a symmetrical design on the other half.





 
 
 
 



                                   
Stay tuned to find out what we are going to do with our symmetrical art next.
