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.<br /> 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.

Worksheet/practice paper, up to level 5.

<p><strong>Winter Symmetry Activity</strong></p> <p>Winter Symmetry Activity, featuring 10 vibrant Winter pictures chopped in half for children to complete the other half!</p> <p>Each picture showcases iconic Winter imagery such as snowmen, trees, and more, all divided perfectly down the center.</p> <p>Children are tasked with using their creativity and observation skills to draw the missing halves, completing the symmetrical images.</p> <p>This activity not only reinforces the concept of symmetry but also encourages fine motor skills, visual discrimination, and artistic expression.</p> <p>Elevate the activity with the addition of a small mirror! By holding the mirror along the center line of the picture, children can observe the reflection of one half and use it as a guide to complete the other half.</p>

Use the mirror lines to complete the block patterns.

<p>A lesson which has been differentiated three ways to teach year 1 children about symmetry. The pack includes a powerpoint, a plan, three different differentiated activities and next steps for the year 1 children to complete.</p>

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

<p>A PowerPoint introducing line of symmetry, focussing on symmetry in 2D shapes. A sorting exercise where children sort 2D shapes into a grid: line of symmetry or no line of symmetry. Also a worksheet where children need to identify whether a shape has a line of symmetry and find all the lines of symmetry by drawing them on.</p>

<p>A Powerpoint to explain Line Symmetry. This powerpoint has 13 slides (Including one title and one end slide). Designed for KS2.</p> <p>Both the original powerpoint and the new version are included.</p>

<p><strong>What’s included?</strong><br /> x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format.</p> <p><strong>What’s it for?</strong><br /> This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes.</p> <p>This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included.</p> <p><strong>Who’s it for?</strong><br /> This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support.</p> <p>This resource may also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first.</p> <p><strong>How to use it?</strong><br /> The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry.</p> <p><strong>Suggestion</strong><br /> I would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler.</p> <p>Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry.</p> <p><strong>Important…</strong><br /> Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings.</p> <p>Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference.</p> <p><strong>Resource Details</strong></p> <ul> <li>lines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each.</li> </ul> <p>*Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each.</p> <ul> <li>2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Important message…</strong><br /> ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.</p> <p><em>Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you!</em></p> <p><strong>New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available!</strong></p>

Three levels of difficulty ranging from basic shapes with vertical reflection to more complex shapes with diagonal reflection.

A fun activity for your students when studying geometry or cultural celebrations such as Diwali (The Festival of Lights). <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> Included: <br /> ♦ 3 different patterns<br /> ♦ Blank template (students can make up their own pattern)<br /> <br /> For each of the 3 patterns: <br /> ♦ student template with grid lines.<br /> ♦ completed student template (great as a reference during the lesson).<br /> ♦ the pattern without the grid lines (could be used as a simple colouring activity if desired).<br /> <br /> An example of what is included for each of the 3 patterns is included in the images. <br /> <br /> Provided in 2 different paper sizes: <br /> ♦ A4 size paper <br /> ♦ Letter size paper<br /> <br /> Make ... colour ... cut ... display <br /> <br /> The blank template includes: grid lines, lines of symmetry, outer circle.<br /> <br /> © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

This is a whole lesson that looks at Drawing Symmetry as well as <b>Lines of Symmetry</b>. This lesson is a lot of fun and gives students the opportunity to color as they think about symmetry.

<p>Symmetry, KS3<br /> Lines of Symmetry</p>

<p>Students are introduced to symmetry, lines of symmetry and symmetrical shapes. Reading, writing and speaking activities in an interactive 2 page worksheet.</p> <p>Suitable for distance learning, home schooling, Primary and English as a Foreign Language students.</p> <p>Word and PDF documents included so you can edit if required.</p>

<p>This is a fun activity where children cut and stick the wings onto the ladybirds so that their spots are symmetrical.</p>

PowerPoint presentation that provides an explanation of symmetry. Paper-folding activity in which pupils mark lines of symmetry on shapes with PowerPoint slides that show the lines of symmetry on each shape for children to use to mark/peer mark. Success criteria too. Suitable from year 3 onwards.

An engaging lesson which explores 2D shape and symmetry.<br /> This formed an observed lesson which received very positive feedback.

<p>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.</p>

<p>Some activities to help children explore and understand rotational symmetry with familiar 2D shapes.</p> <p>Included in this resource is:</p> <p><strong>Rotational Symmetry Worksheet</strong> 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 <strong>Rotational Shapes Sheet</strong> 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 <strong>Blank Circle Template</strong>, which children can use to create their own circular rotational pattern.</p>
