2nd Graders (and the 1/2 combo class) are exploring symmetry using mirrors. We looked at various ancient containers that had symmetry in their design. Then they were given jar-shaped papers to design. The children became utterly fascinated by the mirrors (as you can see from the pictures).
Once done, children made other unplanned discoveries. They learned that many mirrors facing each other give you an amazing set of repetitions.
hey! a 360 degree mirror!!
What do you see?
This child even made a symmetrical image of her own name!
