Good morning children, here are today’s learning tasks:
Maths – Symmetry
Pictures, shapes and objects are symmetrical when both sides are an exact match or a mirror image of one another. Watch this clip telling you about symmetry:
Main Task
Log in to the Epic reading site where I have assigned you a book to read about symmetry. Click the image to read.
Choose one of the pictures below from nature and draw the other side to make both sides symmetrical. Mark on the line of symmetry with a broken line.
Ask a grown up if they have a small mirror. If they have, place the mirror along your line of symmetry to check both sides are symmetrical.
Challenge
Go on a nature hunt when you are outdoors with your family. How many different things can you find that are symmetrical?
Take some photographs or draw some sketches and mark on the line of symmetry. Happy hunting!
