Are you ready to uncover the fascinating world of symmetry? Get ready to step into the kitchen and embark on an exciting journey with our latest worksheet, "Matching Symmetry" – a free resource designed to engage kindergarten, year 1, and year 2 students in the exploration of symmetry in everyday objects.

​

Discovering Symmetry in the Kitchen

From aprons to rolling pins, the kitchen is a treasure trove of objects just waiting to be explored for their symmetrical properties. With "Matching Symmetry," students will dive into the world of symmetry as they examine various kitchen items and transform them into perfectly symmetrical masterpieces.

 

How It Works

Let's take a closer look at how "Matching Symmetry" ignites students' curiosity and creativity:​

  1. Students begin their journey by examining a variety of kitchen items depicted on the worksheet, including aprons, rolling pins, stoves, cakes, scales, and more. Each item is presented in its original form, waiting to be transformed through the magic of symmetry.

  2. Armed with scissors, glue, and a keen eye for symmetry, students cut out the images of kitchen items provided on the second page of the worksheet. Using the images as templates, students embark on a mission to create symmetrical representations of each kitchen item.

  3. As students carefully position and glue the cut-out images, they are challenged to consider the concept of symmetry – ensuring that each side of the item mirrors the other perfectly. Through hands-on manipulation and artistic expression, students develop a deeper understanding of symmetry and its role in design.

 

Learning Through Play

"Matching Symmetry" transforms abstract mathematical concepts into engaging, hands-on activities that captivate young learners' imaginations. By exploring symmetry in familiar kitchen items, students develop spatial reasoning skills, artistic expression, and an appreciation for the beauty of balance and symmetry in the world around them.
