Maths and Symmetry

Room One have been exploring lines of symmetry in pictures, shapes and patterns. Symmetry is part of a child's environment, in mathematics, and continues for the rest of their life. You could help your child find objects, pictures etc that have a line or lines of symmetry at home.
