Teaching children symmetry? Sounds like mad science. But if you teach them at their level, they are more likely to understand you.

EditSteps

  1. Teach Children Symmetry Step 1.jpg
    1
    Use mirrors and blocks/ plastic shape tiles. Mirrors are good for symmetry because they create an exact replica of what is reflected.
  2. Teach Children Symmetry Step 2.jpg
    2
    Have the child create a shape, and then hold a mirror behind it. The child should see an exact replica of whatever he/she created.

Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • It is best to do this on a flat surface, such as a table, where there are no angled surfaces to confuse the child. He/she should see the shape flat, and not on an angle.

EditWarnings

  • The children may not understand at first. Show them what they have to do. Once they understand, create with them!

EditThings You'll Need

  • plastic shape tiles/ blocks
  • kids
  • mirrors
  • a flat surface
