We have been learning about symmetry in maths this week.

We have been learning about line or reflective symmetry.  Line symmetry means a reflection.  If we were to draw a line through a shape to represent a mirror, the shape could be folded on that line and both sides would fit together exactly together.

After looking at lots of examples on the interactive whiteboard and playing some games on Education City, we sorted these pictures in our maths books.

This afternoon we had the choice of two activities when using the computer. One choice was to draw a horizontal or vertical symmetrical picture using Pixie.

The second choice was the most popular! We created snowflakes using this website. Try it for yourself. Did you know that real snowflakes are always symmetrical and have their own amazing patterns?

Here are some we made.

We also found this site to make a cut paper snowflake online. Have fun making your own symmetrical snowflakes.
