Lines of Symmetry, Shapes and Symbols
Which shapes are symmetrical? Third graders decide which shapes have lines of symmetry, and which shapes are not symmetrical. They work on 13 shapes and symbols, four of which have lines already drawn through them. Use this resource to...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Do your learners know that letters of the alphabet have lines of symmetry? Well, some of them do. Scholars examine nine symmetrical letters and draw in the line of symmetry for each (one of them has two!). They also complete six letters...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Drawing lines of symmetry helps scholars understand shape attributes, basic fractions, and equality. They determine how many lines each of these nine shapes has, using an example as reference. Consider having learners cut out a set of...

Lines of Symmetry for Quadrilaterals
Explore how lines of symmetry help define different categories of quadrilaterals. Looking at a square, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram, young mathematicians discover that each shape has its own, unique symmetry. Encourage your...
Curated OER
Symmetry
These symmetrical shapes are only half-completed, so scholars finish them by drawing the other side of the line of symmetry. Because your class won't recognize these abstract shapes, they will get authentic practice with this objective....
Curated OER
Symmetry
Do these dotted lines indicate symmetry? Some of them do, and scholars determine which ones in 12 different images. Because some of these are tricky, it may be helpful to have large versions of these shapes printed and cut out. This way,...
Curated OER
Symmetry Using Polygons
Working on symmetry in your class? If so, this learning exercise might be for you. Learners observe different triangles and quadrilaterals, determine which are symmetrical, draw in the lines of symmetry, and color the symmetrical shapes....
Curated OER
Symmetry
Where is the line of symmetry? Learners begin by drawing in a line to split three images evenly in half, using an example as reference. Encourage them to think about physically folding the picture to solidify this concept. Next, they do...

Using Symmetry to Create Corporate Logos
Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
For this line of symmetry worksheet, 2nd graders fold a paper in half and cut two parts of a picture to show the line of symmetry. They answer 4 questions in which they color a domino to make it symmetrical.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this math instructional activity, learners practice drawing the lines of symmetry for each of the polygons. They also draw mirror images for the figures.
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
Teach your class about symmetry lines with this resource. This worksheet defines symmetry and explains lines of symmetry and how they work. Learners examine a variety of examples before drawing lines of symmetry in 5 figures. The...
Curated OER
Symmetry
Is this the line of symmetry? Scholars analyze 12 images to determine whether or not the dotted line in each reflects symmetry. There are three examples for them to reference before they start, so consider reviewing these together before...
Curated OER
Symmetry
Enhance your geometry lesson by working with shapes. Fourth graders follow lines of symmetry to complete ten shapes, most of them currently triangles. Have pupils color each half of their shapes to reinforce the idea of symmetry!
Curated OER
Symmetry of the Addition Table
Help your class discover the commutative property of addition with this exploration of the addition table. By folding and coloring the table, a symmetry is found that directs students to an understanding of this crucial mathematical...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this line of symmetry instructional activity, students follow a set of instructions to create a symmetrical shape, and color correct numbers of dominoes to make symmetrical sets. Answers are included.
Curated OER
Symmetry, Part 2
How can you tell if shapes are symmetrical? Fourth graders study 12 shapes, and draw lines down the middle of shapes that have symmetry. Once they are finished, they complete shapes that are missing their symmetrical sides. Some shapes...
Curated OER
Draw the Other Half
How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...
Curated OER
Reflective Symmetry and Translations
In this symmetry and translation activity, learners sketch the reflection of the shapes in the mirror lines. There are 6 shapes to sketch.
Curated OER
Reflective Symmetry And Translation
In this symmetry and translation worksheet, students sketch the reflection of the shapes in the mirror lines. There are 6 shapes to sketch.
Curated OER
Mirror Lines
In this mirror lines and symmetry learning exercise, students solve 12 problems in which lines of symmetry are drawn and counted. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
For this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to various forms of line symmetry. They classify each line of symmetry illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither. Then students check the...

Transformations
How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image.
