Lesson 1 involves the children identifying whether a line of symmetry is correct or incorrect and then challenged by drawing in the correct or missing lines.
Lesson 2 involves the children drawing all of the lines of symmetry on to 2D shapes including complex polygons as well as regular shapes. Extension activity involves the children investigating symmetry in the alphabet.
Lesson 3 involves the children identifying and drawing lines of symmetry into patterns/designs. The challenge activity: identifying a reflected pattern.
Lesson 4 involves the children completing symmetrical figures by reflecting across a mirror-line. The challenge activity: Complete a symmetrical figure on various different types of grids and questions for deeper understanding.
Lesson 5 involves the children completing symmetrical patterns by reflecting across a mirror-line. The challenge activity: Questions to encourage deeper thinking - solving symmetry problems.
ALSO INCLUDED: Two mini-assessments for the two learning objectives.
Objectives covered in unit of work:
Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations

Fantastic resource! Yes, you have saved me hours of plannning and creating. Clear and achievable outcomes with resources that match and aren't too wordy so even LA kids can complete independently. Also, clear progression included through week. Appreciate the presentation in different formats too. Thank you!
