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.
The product includes a 10x10 grid filled with various Christmas-themed pixel art images. Each image contains lines of symmetry, providing the perfect opportunity for students to practice identifying and creating symmetrical patterns.
With a wide range of colorful and captivating designs. students will be motivated to explore the concept of symmetry. By coloring and completing the symmetrical patterns, students will develop their spatial awareness and critical thinking skills.
Teachers can use this product in various ways, from whole-class instruction to independent or small-group activities. It can be used as a warm-up exercise, a math center activity, or even as an assessment tool to evaluate students’ understanding of symmetry.

This resource is proven to be a really good resource to supplement the concept of lines of symmetry at Year 3/4 or a simplification for that of Year 5/6.
A reflective symmetry activity inspired by the intricate artwork of Alex Konahin. Provides useful practice in using tracing paper to reflect images. Probably most suitable for KS2 and KS3 students. Makes great display work. Enjoy!
This document contains different types of symmetry related activities for regular polygons.
• Folding Lines of Symmetry – Cut out the regular polygons and write the number of sides, corners and their name, then fold them to find all the lines of symmetry
• Matching Properties – Cut out the regular polygons and their properties, then match them together
• Drawing Lines of Symmetry – Draw the lines of symmetry on the regular polygons and write their name and the number of lines of symmetry
• Lines of Symmetry – Fill in the table to show the number of sides, corners and lines of symmetry for each regular polygon, then find them in the word search
• Lines of Symmetry Crossword – Work out the names of the regular polygons using the lines of symmetry as clues

Can the children decorate the butterfly with the different shapes?
Either leave the butterfly blank and get the children to cut the shapes out, or trace the shapes on the butterfly for the children to match.
A worksheet requiring students to identify the order of rotational symmetry of several images before rotating a shape around a centre of rotation on a grid.
Creating these cute ice lolly characters is a fun activity for learning about symmetry. The challenge is to draw the missing side of the picture so it is the same on both sides. A grid over the image helps with drawing shapes and placing details in the correct place. You could also use a mirror, place it along the middle line to check in the reflection. There are 3 character designs to complete, two ice lolly shapes with no detail and a blank grid for creating your own designs. Colour and ink saving versions included.
Children love to create a name for their finished lolly and for an extra challenge can design the wrapper using the blank grid.
