SYMMETRY

Last week in maths we investigated Symmetry. First we folded paper in half and cut out shapes and when we opened up the shapes the designs were symmetrical. Next we worked with a partner to create a shape using 2 rectangles and 2 triangles. We then pasted all our shapes on and looked to see if any of the shapes were the same. We found out that some shapes were the same but just transformed either by flipping, turning or sliding the shape. Today we used the same triangle shape but tried flipping, sliding and turning the shape to create a different position for our shape.
