A fun activity for your students when studying geometry or cultural celebrations such as Diwali (The Festival of Lights). <br /> <br /> Students use the grid lines and lines of symmetry to help them draw the pattern in the other sections of the circle. The lines are light grey and they will become less visible after colouring. <br /> <br /> Included: <br /> ♦ 3 different patterns<br /> ♦ Blank template (students can make up their own pattern)<br /> <br /> For each of the 3 patterns: <br /> ♦ student template with grid lines.<br /> ♦ completed student template (great as a reference during the lesson).<br /> ♦ the pattern without the grid lines (could be used as a simple colouring activity if desired).<br /> <br /> An example of what is included for each of the 3 patterns is included in the images. <br /> <br /> Provided in 2 different paper sizes: <br /> ♦ A4 size paper <br /> ♦ Letter size paper<br /> <br /> Make ... colour ... cut ... display <br /> <br /> The blank template includes: grid lines, lines of symmetry, outer circle.<br /> <br /> © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

<p>Set of lessons looking at the use of symmetrical patterns and colour design on Day of the Dead skulls. The PowerPoint give detailed context about the Day of the Dead with questioning activities for group discussion. This is followed by a series of practical activities wherein pupils develop their own Day of the Dead skull designs. All resources needed art provided at the end of the PowerPoint to print out.</p>

Students very quickly understand the concepts of reflections, rotations and symmetry when creating rangoli patterns. I always use this before starting the Transformations topic.<br /> <br /> Powerpoint and worksheets guide students step by step in creating these patterns.

This lesson plan was created by primary teacher Matilda Maxwell, to support the William Morris exhibition at Two Temple Place, London's newest exhibition space, http://www.twotempleplace.org/ This year we are running a series of FREE storytelling workshops for KS2 pupils that are designed to improve children&'s literacy and interaction with art. These will run in line with our upcoming exhibition &';Amongst Heroes: the artist in working Cornwall (1880-1920)'. To book, contact Sarah Hardy on 020 7836 3715 or education@twotempleplace.org

I used these worksheets in Year 4 and the children moved through them at their own pace during the lesson starting with the first sheet. The third activity is quite difficult (two examples in the picture) so even the most able might need to start with the second sheet first. The last sheet is just blank for the children to fill in for each other in pairs if they've blasted through the other three!<br /> <br /> Thanks for looking!

Children design and draw their own symmetrical patterns.

<p>This is a set of 9 worksheets and materials. I used some or all of these with Year 2 and LKS2 classes, to help pupils gain an understanding of symmetry in shapes and extending to coloured patterns in different arrangements. Depending on the pupil’s understanding, I encouraged them to work individually, with a partner or in a guided group to complete these. I also provided mirrors for these activities but tried to encourage pupils to use these as a form of checking answers as these could sometimes cause confusion rather than aid answering.</p> <p>The 9 sets of sheets are;</p> <ol> <li>Lines of Symmetry shapes – these two sheets encourage pupils to identify all the lines of symmetry in given shapes.</li> <li>Lines of Symmetry shapes ANSWERS – these two sheets are the answers to the above to aid with marking.</li> <li>Symmetry letters low – this sheet allows pupils to organise given letters and symbols depending on whether or not they have lines of symmetry.</li> <li>Symmetry letters top – this sheet is as above but for more able pupils requiring them to identify if the letters and symbols have one, more than one or no line of symmetry.</li> <li>Symmetry letters cards – this is a master set of the cards required for sheets 3 and 4 above.</li> <li>Symmetrical Patterns bl &amp; wh – this sheet has an arrangement of 8 patterns represented on grids which are to be completed with regard to the vertical mirror line shown.</li> <li>Symmetrical Patterns colour – this sheet is set out as the black and white version above but pupils are required to consider the placement of different colours. This could be used either as an extension activity or as a form of differentiation given only to more able pupils.</li> <li>Symmetrical Patterns blank – this sheet is set out as the black and white and coloured versions above but are blank grids. This allows pupils to create their own patterns for symmetrical completion either by themselves or for swapping with a partner.</li> <li>Symmetrical colour patterns – these three sheets follow a similar principle to that used in sheets 6, 7 and 8 however it extends to thinking about horizontal mirror lines and culminating in a grid that can be used to create symmetrical patterns across 4 quadrants.</li> </ol>

12 engaging worksheets to challenge and entertain your students while they recognize and create patterns using reflective and rotational symmetry.<br /> Especially useful in supporting the curriculum for Grades 4 and 8, also valuable for all grades from 3 through 10.<br /> Reinforcing and developing key skills in an entertaining way.<br /> Sneak in a little extra math when your pupils learn about Holidays around the World!<br /> A set of activities following the Core Curriculum for Mathematics.

<p>An introductory worksheet designed for children working at level 2 or 3 of the national curriculum or for older children to revise from. Children shade in the squares to reflect the pattern at the other side of the “mirror”. Topics also included: understanding space and shape; Reflective symmetry.</p>

A quick worksheet featuring rangoli designs where children have to work out how many lines of symmetry each design has. This worksheet could be used to help teach children about Hindu festivals and could lead on to introducing children to rotational symmetry. It could also lead on to an art activity where children could design their own rangoli pattern.

<p>Compare bear repeating patterns. I have created a variety of different repeating pattern cards that can be printed, laminated and used to assist children with their own repeated patterns using ‘compare bears’. There are also blank cards so children can make their own repeating patterns. Compare bear photos were taken against a white background. The white background has been removed on the resources. Colours include Red, Blue, Yellow, Green. ** Update ** I have now included Purple and Orange compare bears for patterns. The 3rd page on the preview is aligned properly!</p>

This presentation has various links to websites with interactive activities for creating symmetrical patterns.
