What do box turtles, a rainbow, and the Lincoln Memorial have in common? How about King Tut, a pinwheel, and the word “wow”? Like many animals and plants as well as objects made by people, they have SYMMETRY.
The examples in this book come from the natural world, artwork from many cultures, holiday symbols, machines, architecture, and more. Learning about line and rotational symmetry is a great way to visually explore basic math concepts such as equality, measuring, patterns, repeats, and transformations.
Once you know where to look, you’ll be seeing symmetry all around you!
