How to Teach Symmetry to Kids
To talk to kids about symmetry, it is great to have a small, hand-held mirror. Ideally, this would be rectangular shape so one of the sides can lay flat. A mirror like this would be perfect (affiliate link)
Ask:
- What do you think we will see when we hold the mirror up against this Christmas image?
Observe:
- Let kids hold the mirror up to a chosen image. They can do multiple images.
- If desired, kids can try and find things in a room they think are symmetrical. Using the mirror, find the center point of an item and let them observe whether it is really symmetrical or not.
Ask:
- How would you define symmetry? Here is the definition of symmetry: The quality of something that has two sides or halves that are the same or very close in size, shape, and position.
- What are some things in our world that you think have symmetry?
