Did you realize that snowflakes are created from geometric shapes? Did you know that every snowflake is symmetrical? Most people realize that each snowflake is unique. However, did we ever stop to explore how symmetry and geometry are part of snowflakes?
We learned about Willie Bentley's work with photography, actually microphotography, of snowflakes. Wow! The detail is amazing and miraculous. Students observed snowflake photos, and then cut geometric shapes out to create their own paper snowflake on black paper.
Our math chapter is geometry. We began this chapter on Monday. We are super excited to explore shapes in new and exciting ways. Snowflakes are full of geometric possibilities!
