Primary 3/4 have been really motivated to learn all about symmetry.

It has been a really good maths topic to link to other areas of the curriculum.  In RME we are studying Islam, so we have been looking at symmetrical patterns on religious artefacts and we have designed symmetrical Viking shields in the build up to Up Helly Aa.

We have participated in a variety of different activities, including using mirrors to identify lines of symmetry in shapes and to complete given shapes and pictures.

Primary 3/4 really enjoyed interactive work on the whiteboard sorting symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes and pictures.  They also created symmetrical patterns which their partner needed to complete.

 Here are some of the lego symmetrical designs we created.

We had lots of fun learning all about symmetry!

Here is an overview of the areas we are learning about this term. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
