Lesson Five – Symmetry Halves
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record how to complete the matching halves of some different geometric shapes across vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of symmetry.
The class can practise creating some irregular shapes that have different vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry to indicate their special and unique geometric properties.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record how to complete the matching halves of some different geometric shapes across vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of symmetry
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to record how to complete the matching halves of shapes across vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of symmetry and a template to select and indicate examples of regular and irregular halves of shapes with different lines of symmetry.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to complete halves of different geometric shapes across vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of symmetry.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
