FEATURES:

Geometry, the mathematics of shape and space, is a fun and practical way to introduce mathematical thinking, and Symmetry School encourages learners to use their intuition and imagination to explore symmetrical puzzles. Through gameplay, learners are aided in developing an essential foundation in spatial reasoning, problem solving and visualization.

Suitable for home or school use, Symmetry School has been developed in-line with international curriculum requirements for short-form K-12 learning. Symmetry School fits easily into the classroom time period and each app purchase provides access to a supporting Whiteboard version for teachers. There are supplemental print activities available to download, as well as a handy 'Email Your Result' module used for homework activities.

• Learn to recognise reflective and rotational symmetry.
• Use an understanding of reflective symmetry to complete the missing half of a pattern.
• Use an understanding of rotational symmetry to predict and describe the results of rotating patterns.
• Recognise simple spatial patterns and relationships and make predictions about them.
• Develop a foundation for understanding symmetry at later levels.
• Solve problems and learn to work systematically.
• Develop fine motor skills.
• Have fun and learn!

Symmetry School has been rigorously user tested through multiple school pilots, with the appropriate educational vocabulary used throughout the game. The language and terminology used within Symmetry School has been chosen by international educationalists for all languages. Symmetry School is available in English, French, German, Irish, Chinese and Spanish.

Here’s what educational experts had to say about Symmetry School:

"From a mathematics education perspective engaging with the Symmetry School activities provide invaluable experiences in symmetry and the design features make it appropriate for use with learners across a wide span of school mathematics grade levels." – Dr. Aisling Leavy, Department of Mathematics Education, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland

“The activities allow the pupil to engage with symmetry in a fun way and promote problem solving skills. It can be used in a variety of classroom situations and I would highly recommend it. More please! – Eileen Ward, Educational Technologist
