Learning About Radial Symmetry with Sixth Grade!

We began this lesson by doing a pencil drawing of radial symmetry by tracing a circle and dividing it into sections. Students then had to repeat their design in each section of their circle and create a symmetrical design, which took lots of patience and hard work. They made beautiful creations that were on display at the Art Show!

As a reward for their hard work, we explored the iPad app 'Amaziograph' and the website 'Weavesilk' to create digital works. Here are some of our digital examples!
