Hello again! Today, April 20, we will also be completing our second lesson dealing with the Charlottenburg Palace. This lesson deals with concepts of geometry. The students will be learning about different geometric shapes and symmetry. The students will be show different shapes and they will learn what they are called. To learn about symmetry, the students will be doing a little art project. Each student will be given a square piece of paper. They will fold it in half. They will then paint on just half of the piece of paper. Then they will fold the paper in half and when they open it back up there will be a symmetrical design. After the students learn about shapes and symmetry, they will visit the Charlottenburg Palace. They will pay special attention to the garden which is located in the back of the palace. The garden is made up of geometrical shapes. After the students visit the palace they will be creating their own garden using Microsoft Excel. They will use geometric shapes when constructing their garden and they will also use symmetry. When the students are finished they will be asked to share their garden so that they students are able to see all the different ways that geometric shapes can be used!
