WonderWorks: Symmetry (Math)


Mirrors, palindromes and inkblot artwork--all fun ways to explore the concept of symmetry.

Today's Topic: Math--Symmetry
Supplies:
paint
paper
brushes (optional)
mirrors (a variety of shapes and sizes)
alphabet letters (print your own if you don't own any.  Lots available online. Try these.)
wooden blocks

Books: 
 cover art Let's fly a kite / Murphy, Stuart J.

cover art Mom and Dad are palindromes : a dilemma for words-- backwards / Shulman, Mark
Palindromes are another fun way to discuss symmetry!
