Finding Symmetry Task Cards

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A set of 18 task cards designed to challenge students to identify and draw lines of symmetry in various shapes. Designed for middle and upper years students. Laminate for a long-lasting resource.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify lines of symmetry in different shapes.
  • Develop an understanding of symmetrical properties.
  • Improve spatial awareness and drawing skills.

How the Activity Works:

Each card features a different shape, and students are tasked with drawing the line(s) of symmetry for each one. They must carefully analyse the shape and determine how many symmetrical lines it has, then draw the lines of symmetry on the card. This activity helps students strengthen their understanding of symmetry through hands-on practice and visualisation.
