Math Meets Art!

Mikal making sure his pattern block design is symmetrical.
P Jay and Mason showing off their designs.
Suzie is focused on her work.
Joelle putting some finishing touches on her turkey.
Last Wednesday we took a break from story problems to reintroduce and review symmetry. First we used pattern blocks to create designs that demonstrated line symmetry. Then we created turkeys using pattern block shapes cut from construction paper. It proved to be a productive and fun way to spend the morning!
