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

Math Pattern Strips (Algebra) - word and letter patterns
A fun set of word pattern strips. Use as a literacy task or make it part of your algebra unit when looking at patterns in math.
This resource contains
12 x Strips to identify the pattern and continue it.
12 x Strips to find the missing word
Pattern reference (teacher guide)
Student recording sheet and teacher answer sheet (for the ‘find the missing word’ strips)
A blank template for students to make up their own word patterns.
The set of word pattern strips are provided in 2 different formats. Simply print the format you want to use. For example:
• Cat, duck, cow, dog, camel, dragon…
• Cat, duck, ___, dog, camel, dragon …
So there are 12 different patterns and 24 different strips.
There are many different possible answers for all of the word patterns in this resource, but the answer must follow the ‘rule’. For example, in the list above, any animal that begins with the letter ‘c’ would fit in the gap.
