Personal Mandalas

Displaying IMG_0069.JPG



For this lesson, we learned that mandalas are spiritual symbols used in Buddhism and Hinduism.  We were instructed to come up with symbols (5) that represent things that are important to us or things in our life. One of the focuses of the project was radial symmetry.


Because of this, we folded our circle of paper into fourths, drawing one section at a time and copying it so they are all identical. 


The radial symmetry aspect of this lesson could be carried over to a math lesson.  It could be compared to the rotations and reflections that are done in graphing.
