In Math, we are practicing symmetry (Grade 4's) and types of lines like, horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, and parallel (Grade 5's) as a part of our Geometry unit.
Ms Elder gave us a name tag art challenge to practice these math skills.
We had to use a mira to reflect and trace our names so that it was symmetrical.
Grade 5's had even more of a challenge where somewhere in their name, there has to be a set of perpendicular lines, parallel lines, a horizontal, and a vertical line.
"I liked using the mira. It was really interesting how it worked." ~ SG
"I like how it was hard to trace it because it was off the paper." ~ OV
"I loved how it was challenging." ~ AZ
"I liked how if you looked at something through the mira that was red already, it doesn't look like it was there. It disappeared." ~ KN
This activity also connects with a feeling of belonging. It has helped us learn each others' names and gives us a sense of space in the classroom with our name tags on our desks.
