Shape, Space, and Symmetry · Geometry

Symmetry and Transformation

Discovering balance in shapes and how they move through flips, slides, and turns.

Key Questions

  1. 1How can we prove that a shape is perfectly symmetrical?
  2. 2Where do we find symmetry in the natural world versus man made objects?
  3. 3How does a shape change when it is rotated versus when it is reflected?
