Symmetry, Reflections
Key Stage: 3 ★

Can you fit the three shapes together to form one with a line of symmetry? Can you find all the solutions?

This problem makes students think about the symmetries of many different shapes. There will be opportunities for instant feedback, and a challenge that will engage the whole class in an activity that offers choice and room for creativity. The students have to take responsibility for checking each other's work, since the teacher clearly can't be expected to anticipate all the possible combinations that might be generated.
