Symmetrical Patterns

The final piece is in place

An object is symmetrical when one half is a mirror image of the other half and using our Numicon resources has been ideal to show exactly that. With the ten by ten baseboards we have worked in pairs to create some amazing symmetrical patterns. Very colourful along with being perfectly symmetrical.

Perfect partner work
Some important maths vocabulary we have used this week are the terms:- vertical, horizontal and diagonal. The easy way to remember horizontal is to think about the horizon when you are at the seaside and looking out to sea. Diagonal is famous as it is mentioned in the Harry Potter films!

Diagonal symmetry is even trickier
