2nd grade Radial Symmetry

The 2nd graders are finishing up these really cool rotational hex designs. We talked about how these were first created by the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers. They created hex designs for good luck and hung them on the outside of their barns. Our circles have 6 sections hence the name "hex" designs We discussed what geometric shapes are and how in rotational symmetry a design would repeat around in a circle. They were outlined in black Sharpie and colored in with markers. I love how they are turning out!
