We have been really enjoying our Maths
planning at the moment – at my school we spend multiple weeks on the same topic
all at once, I loose interest in teaching the same topic for a long period of
time – however, the last three weeks have been volume, symmetry and chance and
data – 4 lessons each. All GREAT topics! We have been doing a little
multiplication and division at the same time, but will move into a couple of
solid weeks of M&D soon.

Here are some great symmetry activities I

We had used mirrors and reflected letters
earlier in the year, so the kids already knew the basics. We went straight to
drawing symmetrical pictures.

I downloaded these from Teachers Pay
Teachers and loved the picture choices, especially the Lego me – a definite
recommendation!

Then the next day we got the idea for a
Symmetry City from downloading this booklet – however, we wanted the children
to come up with their own pictures and gave them a worksheet with a grid on it
to help them out.

This was the last activity we had lined up –
but didn’t get to it, so we will save it until later in the year!
