In this activity, students are required to sort shapes, letters and objects according to their lines of symmetry. This worksheet is part of a bigger unit, Super Symmetry - Year 3.
Identify symmetry in the environment
Create symmetrical patterns, pictures and shapes with and without digital technologies
Uses appropriate terminology to describe, and symbols to represent, mathematical ideas
Checks the accuracy of a statement and explains the reasoning used
Manipulates, identifies and sketches two- dimensional shapes, including special quadrilaterals, and describes their features
Selects and uses appropriate mental or written strategies, or technology, to solve problems
Uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routes
Measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetres
Identifies angles and classifies them by comparing to a right angle
Recognise line and rotational symmetry of shapes and create symmetrical patterns and pictures, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate
Identify symmetry in the environment
Students can complete just the first column, showing shapes, letters or objects with one line of symmetry.
Students can add additional shapes, letter or objects to each of the columns.
