Diwali Rangoli Patterns WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Complete the rangoli patterns to form some interesting designs with rotational symmetry. Rangoli is an art form that originates from in the Indian subcontinent, in which patterns are created on the floor or a tabletop using materials such as powdered lime stone, red ochre, dry rice flour, coloured sand, quartz powder, flower petals, and coloured rocks.

Throughout Diwali, Hindus draw bright Rangoli patterns on the floor, near the front door to encourage the goddess Lakshmi to go into their homes. The name even comes from 'rangavalli' which means colour. There are some blank templates for learners to design their own patterns.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should already have a solid understanding of rotational symmetry before tackling this worksheet. This foundational knowledge will help them recognise how patterns repeat when rotated around a central point. The activity builds on this prerequisite by asking students to actively continue and complete symmetrical designs rather than just identify them.
