A fun activity for your students when studying geometry or cultural celebrations such as Diwali (The Festival of Lights). Students use the grid lines and lines of symmetry to help them draw the pattern in the other sections of the circle. The lines are light grey and they will become less visible after colouring. Included: ♦ 3 different patterns ♦ Blank template (students can make up their own pattern) For each of the 3 patterns: ♦ student template with grid lines. ♦ completed student template (great as a reference during the lesson). ♦ the pattern without the grid lines (could be used as a simple colouring activity if desired). An example of what is included for each of the 3 patterns is included in the images. Provided in 2 different paper sizes: ♦ A4 size paper ♦ Letter size paper Make ... colour ... cut ... display The blank template includes: grid lines, lines of symmetry, outer circle. © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

Set of lessons looking at the use of symmetrical patterns and colour design on Day of the Dead skulls. The PowerPoint give detailed context about the Day of the Dead with questioning activities for group discussion. This is followed by a series of practical activities wherein pupils develop their own Day of the Dead skull designs. All resources needed art provided at the end of the PowerPoint to print out.

Lower, middle and higher ability worksheets. Colouring in the symmetrical pattern. Extension task with 4 quadrants and a draw your own grid. Suitable for Lower KS2 or SEN Upper KS2.

A 22 slide PPT that introduces symmetry in nature and then moves on to describe symmetry in pictures, patterns and shapes. I used it in parts over a series of lessons. The presentation is animated and interactive, my class displayed crosses or ticks on whiteboards to indicate if images were symmetrical or not. Very comprehensive, just click and teach.

This lesson plan was created by primary teacher Matilda Maxwell, to support the William Morris exhibition at Two Temple Place, London's newest exhibition space, http://www.twotempleplace.org/ This year we are running a series of FREE storytelling workshops for KS2 pupils that are designed to improve children&'s literacy and interaction with art. These will run in line with our upcoming exhibition &';Amongst Heroes: the artist in working Cornwall (1880-1920)'. To book, contact Sarah Hardy on 020 7836 3715 or education@twotempleplace.org

The perfect activity to follow up on a unit on portrait drawing. Use this to have your students developing their own pattern taking inspiration from a variety of sources. Complete lesson with lesson plan & differentiation. Create a Self Portrait taking inspiration from the style of artist Kehinde Wiley. There are two parts to this artwork : Your tonal grid drawing (last 2 lessons) Your personalised background pattern (today) Key words for this project: Pattern, Portrait, Design, Shape, Identity, Personalisation, Repeat, Symmetry, Flip, Reverse, Colour Scheme, Harmonious, Monochromatic, Complimentary

Children design and draw their own symmetrical patterns.

Students very quickly understand the concepts of reflections, rotations and symmetry when creating rangoli patterns. I always use this before starting the Transformations topic. Powerpoint and worksheets guide students step by step in creating these patterns.

A powerpoint explaining and exploring repeating patterns for nursery, preschool, kindergarten and reception class children

I used these worksheets in Year 4 and the children moved through them at their own pace during the lesson starting with the first sheet. The third activity is quite difficult (two examples in the picture) so even the most able might need to start with the second sheet first. The last sheet is just blank for the children to fill in for each other in pairs if they've blasted through the other three! Thanks for looking!

It is an activity of working on symmetry, creating patterns to include graphics in shapes and coloring to create original butterflies. Children will learn to : draw a butterfly step by step, work on symmetry, create different kinds of patterns on butterfly illustrations provided in black and white carry out a relaxing coloring activity . For the youngest, the resource also includes illustrations already enriched with graphics ready to be colored. This activity is ideal for doing in the classroom or at home. What is provided: step by step butterfly realization sheet, 2 sheets for symmetry work with and without a dotted line guide, cards for making a “Pop Art” style butterfly with pattern template grid including a butterfly without pattern and a butterfly with patterns cards for making a butterfly “doodle” style with pattern template grid including a butterfly without pattern and a butterfly with patterns

A power point presentation showing lines of symmetry for various basic shape. Suitable for introducing the concept of symmetry. 35 slides. A brief explanation is included.

Compare bear repeating patterns. I have created a variety of different repeating pattern cards that can be printed, laminated and used to assist children with their own repeated patterns using ‘compare bears’. There are also blank cards so children can make their own repeating patterns. Compare bear photos were taken against a white background. The white background has been removed on the resources. Colours include Red, Blue, Yellow, Green. ** Update ** I have now included Purple and Orange compare bears for patterns. The 3rd page on the preview is aligned properly!

An introductory worksheet designed for children working at level 2 or 3 of the national curriculum or for older children to revise from. Children shade in the squares to reflect the pattern at the other side of the “mirror”. Topics also included: understanding space and shape; Reflective symmetry.

This presentation has various links to websites with interactive activities for creating symmetrical patterns.

This pack contains - 14 worksheets - A Powerpoint of the slides for use in class - Encourage students to explore rotational and reflective symmetry using patterns based on Rangoli, traditional Indian patterns often seen at festivals such as Divali. - Pupils can design their own patterns on both square and hexagonal grids. They can be used individually, and are equally valuable to supplement existing teaching materials, for • Homework • Reinforcement • Extension work • Mixed-age environments.

students must shade in squares in order to form patterns with one or two lines of symmetry, or orders of rotational symmetry. patterns are randomly generated and answers are automatically checked

Some activities to help children explore and understand rotational symmetry with familiar 2D shapes. Included in this resource is: Rotational Symmetry Worksheet featuring 2 circle protractors and a grid for children to complete the shape name, angle of rotation and order of rotational. Children will also need the Rotational Shapes Sheet to cut out and attach to their protractors with a split pin. We used black shapes and glued these to the sheets before using a coloured set to rotate on the pin. These sheets are available in white, black and coloured. If you don’t want to print these, children could trace around a set of shapes you have in the classroom. Children rotate the shape to measure the angle of rotation and work out how many rotations can be completed to bring the shape to its original position. To follow this, is the Blank Circle Template, which children can use to create their own circular rotational pattern.

Reflect symmetry related words in mirror lines and also shapes in vertical, horizontal and diagonal mirror lines. • Reflect the words in the mirror lines (colouring squares & drawing lines) • Reflect the patterns in the mirror lines (colouring squares) • Reflect the shapes in the mirror lines (drawing lines) There are multiple pages for each activity. Answers included.

These worksheets are ideal resources for visual learners to learn how to recognize symmetrical shapes. Kids need to focus to perfectly recreate the shapes on the right. Each image contains a line of symmetry, providing the perfect opportunity for students to practice identifying and creating symmetrical patterns. Teachers can use this product in various ways, from whole-class instruction to independent or small-group activities. It can be used as a warm-up exercise, a math center activity, or even as an assessment tool to evaluate students’ understanding of symmetry. A great addition to your math activity worksheets. You will receive a PDF with 13 pages.
