Radial Symmetry by 3rd Grade

3rd graders learned about Radial Symmetry-- when parts of a circle are exactly the same. We looked at designs in nature and man-made designs. We also designed a strategic way to ensure our designs had radial symmetry-- meaning they can have many lines of symmetry. This is one of my favorite projects of the year because the results are so stunning!

Radial Symmetry

3rd grade learned about Radial Symmetry-- symmetry that goes around a circle. They created at least 5 radial designs and put them together to create an awesome wheel. All wheels were put together on a bulletin board for a grand effect.
