Today for our last activity we had to play a game where we had to guess how many symmetrical sides can this shape make, here is the link to the site if you wanna check it out and give it a try: Click Here. I found this activity very exciting and fun because I like to do art and maths. I decided to try and do it digitally to make it easier! What I found challenging was rotating the images to be symmetrical.
For this activity I also made some google slides about it to make much more funner. My favorite slide would be the Radial slide because it was pretty easy to make besides the Bilateral one. What one did you like? Do you know the differences between them? The difference is that the Radial symmetry generates identical body halves around the centre, whereas! The bilateral symmetry generates only two sides, left and right.
Here are my google slides for this activity:
Mōrena Manvi, It's Mrs Williams here. I work in schools in Gisborne like Mrs Torrie does, who comes and visits St Mary's sometimes. Thank you so much for all the work you've put into your Summer Symmetry post. It's much easier for me to understand all the amazing terms you've used by looking at your images - I'm such a visual person. I'm so interested in hearing why you feel Google Slides are more fun to use... what is it about them that you enjoy so much? I really like the design of the radial symmetry too. I think the colours and images you used were really effective. Can you think of any naturally occurring designs that have radial symmetry as well?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the wonderful Summer Learning Journey posts, I'm really enjoying reading what you create.
Mrs Williams
Kia Ora Amie,

I think google slides is very fun to use because it allows you to add multiple slides unlike google drawings, and you can add audios and videos! But in general I think google slides in fun.
I think maybe a starfish could have radial symmetry because of all of the corners, a clover and maybe a flower! What have you seen that has radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry?
Ma Te Wa,
Manvi.

I laos think this matches activity is very fun to do! I can definitely think of places to find symmetry in nature, maybe it can be your backyard or parks like the botanical gardens! What places do you normally like going to find symmetry in nature? What plants/flowers do you see in symmetry?
Ma Te Wa,
