EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A symmetry activity where students use a grid to complete the missing half of each shape based on the given line of symmetry. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and apply the concept of symmetry.
  • Complete symmetrical shapes by accurately reflecting the given half.
  • Develop spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with half-drawn shapes on a grid, along with a line of symmetry. Using the grid as a guide, they carefully colour in squares to complete each symmetrical shape. This activity reinforces understanding of symmetry while encouraging attention to detail and precision.
