My 4th graders had a great time drawing on these records; it's a perfect object to demonstrate concentric circles and radial symmetry to students. They also really enjoyed the retro nature of this lesson, and had an interesting discussion about how technology keeps changing over time. We used colored pencils to create patterns on the vinyl, and patterned paper in the center, which served as inspiration for the design. Parents, if you have any records you are willing to part with, I will be glad to take them off of your hands, so that my 4th graders will have the same fun opportunity next year!
