This pack is made up of 18 different animal symmetry drawing templates. On each page is half of a particular animal. The task for the children is to sketch out and optionally colour the other half of the animal.
Tip: Have the children fold the paper down the middle so that they can trace the outline and main features of the animal.

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.
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.
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.
The six art worksheets in this pack are a fun way for KS2 children to explore symmetry. Each sheet contains half of a photo that shows a symmetrical building or place. The other half of the page is squared paper. Children need to use their understanding of symmetry to complete the picture.
In addition to exploring symmetry, children could also these images to understand perspective and coordinates.
This is Lesson 5 of a five lesson Symmetry unit of work for Year 4. In each pack you will find: Lesson plans (including for your TA), differentiated worksheets/activities (LA, MA and HA plus a challenge activity for deeper understanding/mastery), answer sheets for all activities and flipcharts for whole class teaching (in ActivInspire, PowerPoint and PDF format). Each pack will save you hours and hours of planning, resourcing, differentiating, finding challenging activities and generating flipcharts all for an amazing price. In addition, resources are uploaded in both PDF and Word format so that they can be edited to suit your needs.
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: A mini-assessment for this learning objective.
Objectives covered in unit of work:
Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations
Complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry
The entire pack can be purchased either on a lesson by lesson basis or as a five day unit of work including two mini assessments...

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.
Children complete the symmetrical picture of the butterfly.
Differentiated as follows:
• LA complete the 1st quadrant only
• MA complete 1st and 4th quadrants
• HA decorate the template half given and complete by reflecting in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants.
An activity suitable for Year 6 or similar and great for end of summer term fun.

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