Unit I – Shape Symmetry

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore, record and compare the matching lines of symmetry that can be found in a range of different geometric shapes as part of their individual properties. The class can model how to build regular and irregular shapes with different lines of symmetry,

Explore, record and compare the matching lines of symmetry that can be found in a range of different geometric shapes as part of their individual properties

Lesson One : Symmetry Lines
Explore how to identify and record where matching lines of symmetry can be found in a range of different geometric shapes to indicate their special properties

Lesson Two : Symmetry Groups
Practise using Carroll Diagrams to sort and organise shapes into matching groups according to their lines of symmetry and other geometric properties

Lesson Three : Symmetry Numbers
Investigate how to identify and record some examples of geometric shapes that have different numbers of lines of symmetry for vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines

Lesson Four : Symmetry Shapes
Explore ways of identifying and recording how to complete some different symmetrical patterns using matching vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry

Lesson Five : Symmetry Halves
Identify and record how to complete the matching halves of some different geometric shapes across vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of symmetry
