Te Waka Ako Symmetry Hunt

 I learned on Monday about symmetry. 

We had to find things around the house or outside that were symmetrical and assymetrical.

I learned that my face isn't exactly symmetrical which was a bit surprising, but the letters in my name, AN-NA, are. 

I learned that asymmetrical things are often unbalanced in what they look like and the things they can do, so to make a spoon balance over a pencil is really hard.  But a straw will easily be made to balance because it is symmetrical.

Symmetry is really important for things like clothes otherwise they look all wrong.  If some pants had asymmetric legs they would look really funny. alos wheels only work properly if they are completely round.

Asymmetry is important too because it makes things do their jobs like levers and keys.

  1. Superb blog Anna. Great paragraphs, clear explanations showing you really understand this concept. Ka pai!
    We usually wear clothes that are symmetrical, but do you remember some kids used to wear different sox on purpose? It was a surprise because we weren’t used to it. Some times in fashion we might see asymmetrical clothing. You might Google it. Keep up the great mahi and have a super weekend.
