______________________________________________________________________________

Open-ended question 

1."How can you use different shapes to make your pattern stand out and look more interesting?"

3. "Why do you think symmetry is important in geometric patterns, and how would your design look without it?"

4. "What colors do you think work well together in a pattern, and why?"

5"If you were to create a pattern inspired by something in nature, like a flower or a honeycomb, how would you design it?"

Materials Needed:

• Graph paper
