Last week we discussed how the Taj Mahal showed symmetry. We read a book called Seeing Symmetry by Loreen Leedy and learned about line and rotational symmetry. Folding die cut letters of the alphabet such as Z, C, and A, we determined if they had one or two lines of symmetry. Words like MOM and HID also have lines of symmetry but one is vertical and the other horizontal. It was very interesting to look at objects and decide if they were symmetrical in some way. We reviewed the design of the Taj Mahal then practiced making our own building designs with symmetry on a magnet board and various shapes. Some of us took on the challenge of creating a building with 2 lines of symmetry! What amazing architects in 1st and 2nd GT!! See below:
