Lesson One – Symmetry Lines
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to 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.
The class can explain and describe how they can differentiate between some different 2D shapes by their individual properties including the identified lines of symmetry.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to 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
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to record where vertical and some other examples of lines of symmetry can be found in a range of different geometric shapes to illustrate what makes each shape special and distinct from other shapes.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify matching lines of symmetry that can be found in different geometric shapes.
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.
