Within our geometry unit in math we have been talking about symmetry. This inspired a project in art-kaleidoscopes!

First, students choose a colour scheme and cut out various sizes of “snowflakes”. We talked about how different colours make us feel and think different things. We also talked about the need for different sizes so that we could create layers in our projects. Then, we examined the number of lines of symmetry we could find in each piece of art. Lastly, students named and wrote about their piece of art.
