This Using Symmetry to Create Corporate Logos activity also includes:
  • Answer Key
  • Worksheet
  • Graphic & Image
  • Graphic Organizer
  • Join to access all included materials

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the alphabet and corporate logos before designing one of their very own.
