Petals around a centre
A daisy is a ring of petals around a round middle, which makes it the best flower page for counting. The petals are separate, arranged symmetrically, and there are enough of them to be worth touching one at a time.
It is also the flower children actually pick, which makes it more familiar than the tulip or the sunflower. Most will have made a daisy chain or at least tried.
Symmetry in a flower
A daisy has radial symmetry — it looks the same however you turn it, unlike a butterfly which matches only left to right. Turning the coloured page round and seeing that it still looks right is a genuinely interesting observation for a six-year-old, and it is a different kind of symmetry from the one they usually meet.
Frequently asked questions
- What age is this page for?
- Three to six. The centre is easy; the individual petals give older children a set to be careful with.
- What is radial symmetry?
- A shape that looks the same however you rotate it, like a daisy or a starfish — as opposed to a butterfly, which matches only when folded down the middle. Turning the finished page round demonstrates it instantly.
