Rotational Symmetry Name Plates

We are studying geometry in math, so what fun to extend that learning into art!  We learned that an object can have rotational symmetry if it is symmetrical 360 degrees.  To apply what we learned we created name plates. 
First, cut out a circle.  Next, fold the circle into eighths (and unfold).  Write your first name in each eighth, making sure each piece is the same.  Last, trace your name with a Sharpie and color!  Check out how closely the kids are working.  Very impressive!

Can you find the hidden names?
