This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore ways of identifying and recording how to complete some different symmetrical patterns using matching vertical and horizontal 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 explore ways of identifying and recording how to complete some different symmetrical patterns using matching vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry

Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to record how to complete different symmetrical patterns using vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry and a template to select and illustrate irregular shapes with different lines of symmetry to indicate their unique properties.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore record how to complete different symmetrical patterns using vertical and horizontal 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.
