Rotational and Reflectional Symmetry Reflection

Lately Room 4 have been learning about rotational and symmetrical symmetry. Rotational symmetry is where a shape is rotated but is still in a symmetrical form. Symmetrical symmetry is where a shape is exactly the same to the last detail just flipped. First we were told to select an array of different foam shapes and to make a pattern that represented rotational and symmetrical symmetry. I chose to use 2 diamonds and 4 triangles to make a bigger diamond. We folded a piece of paper in half twice so there was 3 lines of symmetry, one that had to go through the middle of our pattern, one that was used as a mirror line and a second one on the mirror image to cut it in half. We all took our time to make the shapes look almost perfect or as good as we could make it. We added a splash of colour just to make it pop. Next we framed it and put our finished masterpieces up on the wall to be viewed and admired. It was a bit of a struggle for all of us I think, but the finished result as worth it. I really enjoyed making these as it was something a bit different, and variate is very important.
