Seeing Symmetry
by Loreen Leedy

As I continue my math picture book adventure this year,
I have to recommend this one. I first saw it mentioned here (though I can't find the exact post), but my library did not have it at the time.

However, I recently checked again, and it was a new purchase. Hooray!

This is another book with awesome pictures- it really gives you a visual symmetry feast. The author also covers radial symmetry, which is not something that is mentioned much in math programs (that I have seen, anyway,)

So it gets two thumbs up here:

ETA: This one will appeal to a wide range of ages. There are brainteaser questions on each page that require some good thought.

(as opposed to the book we read last week, which was... oh, my... such a snoozer.... and I stopped half way through it because it was so painful to read. No one minded )

I mentioned it here in the Math forum. I LOVE this book. Hope others will jump in that thread with recommendations for studying symmetry.
