The pack is a great way to get your children outdoors learning and exploring lines of symmetry. There are different activities and worksheets that will get your children exploring the outdoors while thinking about and creating patterns and shapes with one and more lines of symmetry. We have aimed this pack at years 3 – 5, however it can be used in most years with different levels of support and outcomes.

We hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reflect symmetry related words in mirror lines and also shapes in vertical, horizontal and diagonal mirror lines.
• Reflect the words in the mirror lines (colouring squares & drawing lines)
• Reflect the patterns in the mirror lines (colouring squares)
• Reflect the shapes in the mirror lines (drawing lines)
There are multiple pages for each activity.
Answers included.
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.
