Symmetry in Real Life Part 2

Introduction/Instructions for Page

Hello, Math Wonders!

In this lesson, we're going on a symmetry adventure in real life! Symmetry means something can be divided into two parts, and both parts are identical - they're exactly the same. When we talk about things that are symmetrical, it means they have symmetry. But, if something doesn't have two identical parts when divided, it's called asymmetrical - it doesn't have symmetry.

We find symmetry all around us in nature, from the beautiful patterns in snowflakes to the foods we eat. Let's explore and discover the amazing world of symmetry together!

Let's have some fun with shapes and symmetry! Here's what you need to do:

Grab your math journal, a pencil, and something with a straight edge like a ruler or a book.
Watch the slideshow carefully.
After watching, use your paper to fold and draw so that both sides of your picture look exactly the same. Try to make it symmetrical!
