Mathematics

Recognize symmetry in nature.

Recognize symmetry in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit designs.

Show the line of symmetry of a 2-D shape.

What did students do?

This week, students investigated symmetry. Students learned about what symmetry is and how shapes/objects can have lines of symmetry. Students identified objects in the classroom that had symmetry. Then, students used loose parts to build and construct symmetrical designs. Students created beautiful and complex designs. Take a look below!

Then, our Grade 5 classes went to Fish Creek Park to identify and notice examples of symmetry. Students noticed examples of natural and non-natural examples of symmetry. They noted their findings by drawing and labelling lines of symmetry.
