Part 1 Directions:

• Use the pattern blocks to create a symmetrical design.  
• How many lines of symmetry does your design have?
• Challenges:
  • Can you create a design with at least 1 line of symmetry?
  • Can you create a design with at least 3 lines of symmetry?
  • Can you create a design with no lines of symmetry?

Part 2 Directions:

• This is a fun activity involving math and art.  You will need a piece of paper, some drawing materials, and a mirror. 
• Symmetry can also be described as when one half of an image is a "mirror image."
• Watch the video for instructions.
