Lesson Three – Symmetry Numbers
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to 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.
The class can practise creating some irregular shapes that have different numbers of 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 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
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to select and record some examples of geometric shapes with different numbers of lines of symmetry and a template to model how to create some irregular shapes to match geometric properties including for lines of symmetry.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record examples of geometric shapes with different numbers of 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.
