This symmetry slideshow has been created to provide students with examples of symmetry in the environment. It contains photographs of plants, animals, buildings and artworks. This presentation is part of the Super Symmetry - Year 3 unit of work.
Identify symmetry in the environment
Create symmetrical patterns, pictures and shapes with and without digital technologies
Uses appropriate terminology to describe, and symbols to represent, mathematical ideas
Checks the accuracy of a statement and explains the reasoning used
Manipulates, identifies and sketches two- dimensional shapes, including special quadrilaterals, and describes their features
Selects and uses appropriate mental or written strategies, or technology, to solve problems
Uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routes
Measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetres
Identifies angles and classifies them by comparing to a right angle
Recognise line and rotational symmetry of shapes and create symmetrical patterns and pictures, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate
