We will provide a new activity each day Monday through Friday during the unexpected school closure. Keep your mind active by completing each day's activity.

Start a streak! How many days in a row will you accomplish the daily activity for your level?

Symmetry (noun) - the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis.

Today’s activity comes from relief teaching ideas and focuses on rotational symmetry. With rotational symmetry the shape or image can be rotated, and it still looks the same.

In this activity you will create a picture that has rotational symmetry using your name. The only materials needed are white paper, a black or dark colored marker, scissors & colored pencils or crayons.

Follow the steps below to complete your rotational symmetry name.

Step One
Trim a piece of paper to make a square. Fold one corner over to make a triangle & then trim off the extra bit on the end.

Step Two
Fold the piece of paper in half to make a rectangle.

Step Three
Fold it in half again, to make a square.

Step Four
Fold over one corner to make a triangle.

Step Five
With a pencil, write your name in block or bubble writing. When you are happy with it you can go over it with a black marker.

Step Six

Unfold one of the triangles. Hold it up to the light or up on a window so you can see & trace the original name you drew. Continue unfolding and tracing until you have completed all 8 triangles.

Step Seven

Add color to your design. Make sure you color each section of the triangles exactly the same!
