Coordinates, Symmetry
Key Stage: 2 ★
Can you place the letters in the correct positions on the grid based on the clues provided?
There are two main parts to this problem. Firtsly, learners need to identify the symmetries of various capital letters. Secondly, they need to practise reading coordinates. The problem should be approached systematically because some of the clues are not straightforward.
This resource has comprehensive teachers' notes and resources, linked from the problem page. This includes possible approaches and key questions, as well as possible support and extensions.

A logic problem from nrich to place 10 different letters on a grid using co-ordinates and knowledge about the reflective and rotational symmetry of the letters. The activity can be completed online using the interactive grid on the website, or the grid and letters can be printed from the PDF document. A high quality resource which could be used in KS2 to teach problem solving, logical thinking, working systematically and methods of trial and improvement.
