Day 1 – Understanding Symmetry • Line Symmetry: One half mirrors the other. • Rotational Symmetry: Shape looks the same after turning. • Examples: Butterfly wings, Taj Mahal, snowflakes. 🎥 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJlhywz4x6g
Day 1 – Discussion Think, Pair, Share: Where do you see symmetry in nature or buildings around you? 🗣️ Discussion Time!
Day 2 – Reflection and Rotation • Reflection: Flip over a line to get the mirror image. • Rotation: Turn a shape around a fixed point. • Examples: Logos like Audi, designs, mandalas. 🎥 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey5vHjJz3bU
Day 2 – Discussion Why do you think designers use rotation or reflection in logos and patterns? 🗣️ Discussion Time!
Day 3 – Tessellations & Design • Tessellation: Repeating pattern of shapes without gaps. • Inspired by artist M.C. Escher. • Found in tiles, honeycombs, and architecture. 🎥 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYqC7MGxZSY
Day 3 – Discussion Can you find or create your own tessellation pattern? 🗣️ Discussion Time!
