Studies in Symmetry

by: John Eichinger

This engaging lesson simultaneously involves animals, flowers, mathematical patterns, and art. Students will learn to discern between radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, and asymmetry by observing and classifying objects, shapes, and photos and by determining their own rules for classifying according to symmetry. Options for creating several art projects demonstrating symmetry are also provided.
