To create a symmetrical design, we can draw half of a design on one side of a line, then fold the paper to trace or press an identical mirrored half.
Quick revision
Remember these!
- We can fold paper to create mirrored symmetrical halves.
- Grid paper helps create precise symmetrical designs.
- We copy the same pattern on both sides of the symmetry line.
- Some designs have multiple lines of symmetry, like snowflakes.
- Snowflake patterns radiate symmetry from the centre.
- Creating symmetry combines art and geometry.
- This activity deepens understanding of balance.
- Precision matters when creating symmetrical designs.
