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.
