Rotational Symmetry – Art activity – Maths (Geometry)

Rotational Symmetry Art Activity.

This fun activity produces fantastic designs that your students will be super proud of.

Each template has rotational symmetry of order 6 and is on isometric dot paper. Your students simply add more lines (ensuring each line is done 6 times to keep it symmetrical), using the dots to maintain accuracy. When your students are happy with their final design they can colour it in using symmetrical colouring.

Afterwards, your students may wish to cut their design out and use it in another piece of artwork. For example, adding a stem and leaves to turn it into a flower.

Plain isometric dot paper has also been provided as a basis for your students to create their own rotational symmetry design from scratch.

Provided as two separate files – A4 paper size and Letter paper size.

What you get:

• 30 templates on isometric dot paper
• Poster explaining rotational symmetry
• Isometric dot paper (plain)
• Teacher notes
