Make it Symmetrical: An Educational Tool for Geometry

Make it Symmetrical is a teaching resource intended to make learning easier and more engaging for students from grade 1 to grade 4. It uses an interactive and hands-on approach, with the aim of helping children understand the concept of symmetry - a fundamental principle in Geometry.

Fostering Learning with Fun

This fun yet educational product introduces kids to symmetry using pattern blocks that they arrange to complete pictures. As such, students explore this vital mathematical principle while improving their spatial abilities. It essentially turns abstract geometric concepts into a visually engaging experience promoting deeper understanding.

The Connection between the product and Common Core Standards (4.G.3)

Built around Common Core Standards at its core, this educational tool is not merely entertaining for kids but also holds immense academic value. The resource can be used by educators as part of guided math instruction or at centers for independent work.

The component:

Includes ten work mats supported by pattern blocks which lend more structure during playtimes or classwork sessions.

The first nine mats:

Guide students through unique pictures that require completion in symmetric design.

The tenth mat:
- Presents students with a challenge of creating their own symmetrical design from scratch!

Allthough aligned mainly on Grade 4 curriculum requirements (where symmetry is explicitly covered), usage of Make it Symmetrical right from Grade 1 sets up students thoroughly before they reach the fourth grade.

Product Delivery

Upon purchase, educators access Make It Symmetrical as a downloadable PDF file. This format offers convenience and flexibility, allowing easy usage of our product.

The Product's impact on developmental domains

Make it Symmetrical, targets multiple developmental domains such as cognitive skills and language and literacy development. This innovative teaching resource effectively combines learning with play to make Geometry less intimidating and even enjoyable!
