EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A symmetry activity where students identify and draw lines of symmetry, then complete symmetrical shapes. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and draw lines of symmetry in various shapes.
  • Complete symmetrical shapes by drawing the missing half.
  • Develop an understanding of reflective symmetry.

How the Activity Works:

Students examine different shapes and identify their lines of symmetry by drawing them in. Then, they complete partially drawn symmetrical shapes using the given line of symmetry as a guide. This activity strengthens visual-spatial skills and reinforces concepts of symmetry.
