LI: To find the line of symmetry in objects near me.
The above google draw is the third task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create a photo montage of objects that are symmetrical and are near me. Symmetry is when objects are made exactly the same facing each other or around an axis. I started by finding things in nature and that's when I found so many of them. I saw butterflies, leaves, flowers, trees and even cars. When I searched up for things indoor, something that was really shocking was the starbucks logo because I always used to see it, but never saw it symmetrical. When I was inside I saw many letters and numbers that were symmetrical, now everytime I type or read something I try to find the line of symmetry in the characters. After completing this activity I also came to know that an object doesn't just have one line of symmetry, shapes like circles have an infinity of symmetrical lines. I loved completing this activity and I am looking forward to do its second part as well.

ReplyDeleteKa pai! You have done a superb job on the Summer Symmetry activity! Not only are you a good mathematician, you’re quite the photographer as well! I’m very impressed by how centered your photos are, because this makes finding clear examples of symmetry much easier!
I really like how you’ve laid your images out too, with the indoor items at the top and the outdoor images at the bottom. The one that surprised me the most was the starbucks logo - I hadn’t realised before that it is so symmetrical! I think symmetry is quite pleasing to the eye, especially when there are more than one example in one object.
Which item did you find was the most difficult to find examples of symmetry in? I am most impressed by the symmetrical sections of petals you noticed in the flower! Plants can be quite tricky because of how nature bends and fans out the shapes, but you have done a fantastic job!
Keep up the fantastic work Sakshi! As usual, it is always a pleasure to read your blog posts!
