1. This book is basically about symmetry. Like ALL about symmetry. In the book, the author explains what symmetry is and its importance, as well as showing a multitude of exampled of symmetry and asymmetry. There isn't really a story so much as an explanation as told through pictures in a picture book
2. This book was a really cool way to introduce kids to the concept of symmetry. Showing the images of the horse and the hubcap, and other contrasting images to really drive in the difference between symmetrical and asymmetric figures. I liked the fact that it used everyday objects, like boots, snowflakes, ladybugs and others to describe the difference. The author even touched on rotational symmetry and how it can be found throughout nature AND machinery. Additionally, she talked about transformations and the relation of transformation of symmetry.
This is great! Love the choice.
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. I like the images of the horse and hubcap to describe the concept
ReplyDeleteexcellent book choice, ron! i have not seen this one before and will add it to my collection! good job of identifying and explaining the different kinds of symmetry as well as transformations.
ReplyDeletethe only thing you forgot was a little blip on why literature is an effective way to teach mathematical concepts.
