Understanding – identifying environmental symmetry Activity process- 1.Provide students with a collection of pictures (symmetrical and non- symmetrical) 2.Ask students to assess each picture and decide if it is symmetrical or not. Ask students to fold a piece of paper in half. Using the fold line as the lines of symmetry and pattern blocks ask students to create a shape design that is symmetrical.

Ask students whether they think a slice of buttered bread that is dropped is likely to land with its buttered side up or whether either side has an equal chance of facing upwards. Have students order spinners according to how likely that are to result in particular outcomes, for example: put the spinners in order according to which one you would rather have. Ask: why did you put them in that order? If you need yellow to win, how would the order change? Why? Ask students to make a picture using Pattern Blocks and a six sided die that has its faces marked with three triangles, two hexagons and one rhombus. They roll the die a set number of times, collecting the shapes that appear, then create their picture using those shapes.
