Description of the process Then we had meetings with the small groups of students to see how the work was going The students made all their assignments in Finnish and in English as a Word document or Power Point presentation

Why symmetry? The Students’ first assignment was to think about where and why we need symmetry The assignment was quite open so the students had a possibility to do different kind of works It also showed that mathematics is not always about calculating This is also easy to use in different levels

A4 The second assignment was to study the origin of the most common paper size A4 It contains an easier part (measuring) and a more difficult part (calculating)

Golden section and regular figures The third assignment was to study golden section, golden rectangle, regular polygons and origams Each group made their own works which included instructions on how to draw figures and maths problems about symmetry and similarity
