Exploring Symmetry and Number Patterns!

The children had fun making symmetrical designs and number patterns at our math stations this week!  It was interesting to see the designs and hear the conversations about what makes something "symmetrical."  Check out our exploration and see the learning taking place during our play with pattern blocks and cubes!





Ryan creating a design for Kwynn to match, slide and flip to
make it have symmetry!



This is Alfie trying to score!  He has 2 hockey sticks because he needs to be symmetrical!

This is where the line of symmetry would be..




We can keep adding 5 each time!

The numbers repeat down!
(Looking for number patterns in the 100 chart)

Taking away 1 each time to make a pattern.  Then matching, sliding
and flipping it to make a symmetrical design too!

Adding 1 each time. Subtracting 1 each time.
(Joined number patterns together)

Adding 1 each time.

 This week the children also continued investigating living things.  Each child had a specific wondering about an animal and began researching to find the answer.  They also chose to show some of their learning through art!  Many children started creating their animal out of clay and created it's habitat out of "found" materials from home and the classroom!  We will be continuing these investigations next week!  Photos will be posted once finished!
